an act of ot gross Injustice which although It did not affect me rae personally was tas still sUll bitterly bitterly bitterly bit bit- terly resented by the majority of ot my fellow workers and secondly because through the unexpected death of ot a distant relative I 1 succeeded suc to a baronetcy and a sufficient income I sp spent nt he best p part rt of ot three years In travel nearly half of ot which time I was In the United d States On my return to London I found myself much against my will hankering after atter my old profession It was very clear to mo me that my old ld de department department de- de had lost the mastery It had once had over the criminal world The problems of ot several cold blooded murders mUlder and various large and arid daring robberies re remaIned remained re- re entirely unsolved In the intervals of my country life I began to study these from an outsiders outsider's point of view chiefly from the columns columns col of the ne newspapers but also alsoto alsoto alsoto to some extent from hints and In Information information iq- iq formation supplies to me by my friend Inspector I who had be been n one of my colleagues in inthe inthe the old days and now held the post which I had vacated Gradually I came to a a certain conclusion a conclusIon conclusion conclusion con con- I which I 1 kept largely to myself myself myself my my- self felt sure that no one oneat oneat oneat at the Yard was wag likely to agree with me I decided that the majorIty majority majority major major- ity of these undetected crimes were due to one person or rather to one gang of ot criminals presided over by byone byone byone one dominant leader Purely from the developed Instinct by my long years of service In the police de department department department de- de I set mys myself lf the task of hunting down this There were three crimes which I became convinced had been committed corn com com committed by the by-the the same band The first was nas the gr great at robbery of ot Jewels from Henson Ilenson Watts Watts' es establishment establishment establishment es- es In Regent street and the murder of the watchman who was shot dead at his post No trace of even a a. single article of this Jewelry Jew elry had ever been discovered The second crime was the robbery of f a number of bonds from a messenger In a railway on the Lendon London London Lon Len don Chatham Dover line The messenger r was also shot but re recovered recovered re- re covered coveTed after atter six months months' nursing although he could never give any coher coherent nt account of ot what had happened happened happened hap hap- to him The bonds were disposed disposed disposed dis dis- dis- dis posed of In lu-i South America The third was the robbery of Lord Loid house in Park Lane There were other crimes which I thought might be connected with these but these three threeS for reasons became linked together In my mind as ns the out outcome ome of one mans man's planning I set myself the task of ot discovering this one man and the day came came at last when I 1 really believed th that t I 1 was in a posItion position position tion to lay m my hand upon him There Is no necessity necessity- to detail the evidence which pointed to this manIt man It is enough to say that after fter watchIng watching watching watch- watch Ing him for three weeks I became convinced ced that a man of the name namo of Thomas carrying on business n n Bermondsey as a leather leath- leath 1 I er broker and living apparently the j I most respectable of lives at BrIxton Brixton Brix- Brix ton was in some son measure connected connect connect- ed with these ci crimes lines I discovered that s leather leather leath leath- er agency agency business was prosecuted prosecute without energy or att attention that his absences from London were not In neighborhoods where his wares waxes could be pushed and that he was often away for tor a month at ata ata ata a time with his whereabouts unknown unknown un un- un known even to hh hs landlady The latter was a highly respectable woman at athose Whose hose house housEl ho he had lived live for the last last- two years Jears and who I honestly believed belleve waa was Ignorant of ot other her lodgers lodger's antecedents habits and business B By taking rooms In the tha neighborhood I easily discovered all that she knew and one or two circumstanceS circumstances circumstances cir cir- cir cir- which lent color to my suspicions I placed these before and It was decided to tomake tomake tomake make an arrestA arrest A more clumsy
