'' ! nerer kaaw orook who wouldn't to a fellow orook wtt a MtUe oempuno jou as he's eat a Plata of ham and trr. and I'll juat run over a story or two to prove thla. "Five or all years ago three claas A rracktmen of New Tork framed up a prom latng bank Job In Trenton. N. J. The- Job went through on greaaed akida up to a certain point. The cracksmen put the bank's watchman under the gun when he stepped to the bank's front grating to get a breath of fresh air It was In the summer time. He had to let them In and they had him cordoa-ed up and gagged before be knew where he was. "The vault safe was an ordinary com. blnatlon , affair, without any time lock contrivances, and It was.eaay for expert with the nltro and the blowpipe. They got It 'open after an hour's work. Then It looked pretty soft for them, for there was about $40,000 In new currency In plain sight. They let tbe . metal money ' alone and made a leiaurely Job of dividing the swag Into three equal parts. . Lekt Gets Amsleaa. The lookout or ouialdo mao abandoned bla iXMt In front of tbe grating of the small bank to be In at the dtvtelon of the loot. The three cracksmen were sitting inside the vault, stuffing the currency Into their kicks and planning tor their different hid ing places, wheat rwe cope suddenly ap peared at the entrance to tbe vault and covered the three of them. Jt was all so rudden that the hand of the three crucka men went atralght up. "While one of the copa kept the three covered by the irun fanning proceaa the other went behind them and deftly re moved their ahooting- toola. , Then he quite aa deftly abatracted their bundles of anag. This done. 'March,' cild two of the copa to the three disarmed , cracksmen. The three were marched to the basement, where the watchman waa atlll aordaeed up. Then the two copa executed a walking backward stunt, atlll covering the three crarkmen, got out of the steel door at the back lend ing Into the alley, slammed the door, which closed with a spring lock and the three cracksmen were neatly Imprisoned. "The Imprisoned cracksmen had no tools and so they couldn't pry their way out. They untied the watchman and ordered him to turn them loose, but they had collared the watchman's keys upstairs before drag ging him to the basement and the keys were atlll upstairs. Bo the three cracksmen and the watchman were found together in h basement at opening up time the following morning. Caiee Meat Tarsi the Trtrk. "The cracksmen's story that they them selves had been stuck up by a pair of ccp waa scouted, and whea the watchman chimed In and stated that the story waa true he was immediately suspected nf being himself In cahoots with the blowpipe men. The watchman had a hard time to square himself and came mighty close to going to prison. He stuck to the cop story so per sistently, however, that the policeman on the bank beat and the one on the adjoining beat had to get to the front with all sorts of explanations as to where they had been while the robbery waa in progress. To square themselves beth of the cops had eventually to own up that they had been taking naps at the time, and they lost their badges. The three cracksmen got their bita in Trenton prison. "Now, those two chaps In the rlbout of cops were Chicago bank burglars. They'd sail east to wait for their graft to pick up a bit In their headquarters town of Chi, and In some mysterious way they'd ieirned of the details of this proposed Trenton lob. It looked like ready money and no work worth mentioning, and so they went to one of the fence coatumers of New Tork and got themselves diked out In cops, rtss. "Then they went to Trenton on the sp polnted night and Just waited t around till their moment arrived. Then 'they made their play, and It was a neat and profitable one at that. They got away with the goods, aad the story didn't get out for four years afterward. Then one of the Chicago cracks men got drunk one night and blew thq yarn. . Now If there was ever anything in this 'honor among thieves' fake you'd naturally have supposed that these two Chicago cracksmen would have been oatra clxed by their pals who heard of their profit able masquerade as cops In Trenton. Noth ing of the aort happened. Their pals patted them on the back and called them smart fellows and ha-ha'd over the picture of the three trapped cracksmen locked In the bank basement with the watchman. park Grafters the Worst. "Bpark grafters sre very rarely on the level with each other, even when they're working as a team. I recall one case of this sort particularly well, because one of the crooks Involved told me of the Incident moat picturesquely. "A pair of opnotch Philadelphia spark grafters got on to the fact that the propri etor of a certain Walnut street reatsurant started for his home on a Wa'nut street oar every night about 11 o'clock and that he generally had a sous on him at this time. They had slsed this restaurant man up because he always wore In his four In hand tie a huge, flashy four stons diamond pin. The stones were the white boys, aa the crooks call them, and each of them looktd to weigh about four karats. "The old restaurant man, as they noticed, was usually pretty well lit up when he took the car to go home, and he looked good to the pair of spark grafters. Bo they ar ranged a night to get that pin. They boarded the car In which the restaurant man sat half dozing. In the enjoyment of his regular going horns bun, and waited for the car to fill up with folks from tbe the aters. "The old restaurant man, very gallant, got up to give a lady his seat. Then one of the spark gTafters gave him the elbow in the small of the back, and when he turned to put up a growl the other one neatly copped the diamond pin. It looked like a good 12,000 worth, any how, to the crook who had done tbe el bowing. They got off the car and made directly to the plant of the fence with whom they did business. The crook who had the pin handed It over the fence end named his smallest flrure with a confident grin. The fence took the pin, looked at it Just once and remarked: , " 'Nothln' doln" In the loo line Juat now. Btop your klddln.' "The crook who hadn't collared the pin looked tremendously surprised, snd the crook who had oollared It simulated a look of equal surprise. ' you fellers mean to band It to me that you don't know that this Is a "phonyT" said the fence to them, holding up the pin. "Well, sure enough, the pin waa a bogus, Juat fairly well aawed Brasll brilliants. The crook who hadn't swiped the pin looked disappointed and gloomy, and said that his eyesight must be falling . that he'd never been twisted In piping off the real thing In rocks. The other crook chimed in, and added that he'd never felt so cheap In his life. The two spark grafters separated. "The one who had oollared the pin, and who had It la bis kick all the time, took It to another fence and got tl.600 for It with out a hitch. Tou see, he'd had a bogus of the genuine pin made before the Job was pulled off, and the bogus was the one he ran In on the first fenoe when he went there with his pal. Ths pal tumbled after a somewhat prolonged period of thought fuluess. vWhen he found out that his sus picions were correct he chased after his Ingenious pal and demanded his bit. All he got for his was the mirthful hoot, and that partnership was dissolved. The crook who had been done paaeed the word around among his friends In ths profession. "If there's any honor among thlevee It exists about In the ration of gold to sea water, and you can figure out that for yourself."
