AN ALLY CHANCE FIGURES IN CAP- TURE OF CRIMINALS, Odd Police Experiences--Blunders Have Often Led to the Appre- hension of Fugitives--Detec- tives Are Usually a Bit Super- stitious. Chicago Tribune. All professional criminals and most police officers and detectives are sup- erstitious. They believe in duck, It is luck if the criminal gets away, and it is luck if he gets caught. Fortunately for society, the luck usually is against the criminal and on the side of the law. One detective on the central stafi was looking for a pickpocket recently, and was in a fever of impatience to get hold of the man that afternoon, be- cause it was feared he would leave town. The pickpocket could not be found at any of his usual haunts. He was known -to--be-a-baseball fan, and the detective, who was the only man on the force that knew the offender by sight, decided at once that he was at- tending the game. It happened, howev- er, that there was a game that after- noon at both the ball parks. It was a question of south side or west side, and the detective flipped a coin to see where he should go. The coin sent the officer west, and his luck was with him. The pickpocket was located in the grand stand and followed and taken into custody as soon as the game Was over. It is astonishingly easy to make ga mistake in tracking down a criminal, and it is no disparagement to the police that a blunder, sometimes on the part of the offender and sometimes on the part of the officer, often carries the hunter straight to his quarry. A recent instance of this kind seems al- a grain company in La Salle street had been plunging on his own account and was behind in his cash to the tune of several thousand dollars. His employ- ers complained to the bonding com- pany which stood responsible, and at the same time the cashier got wind of the exposure and bought a ticket for his home town, in, Wisconsin, and left on the afternoon train. A detective was after him within two hours. But the detective to while away the time on the train, engaged in a game of whist with a party of drummers, and before it was realized it was car- ried two towns past the station, where he was supposed to change cars. Curs- ing his luck, the sleuth left the train and found by inquiries that he could not get back to the junction point for two hours. He wandered around the village and ran almost into the arms of the fugi- tive, who, by a cute trick, was wait- ing there for a train to take him westward. It is such things as this that cause detectives to believe in luck, * enabled the city police to tip offi a den of counterfeiters to the police other players, and at the station was decided to search him, just covered in his pockets, and these were found to be counterfeits of the clever- ringing almost true. in Illinois street was searched. A quart bottom of his trunk, but no dies or melting pots were discovered. It was clear that the poker player was "shoving the queer" for a den of coiners.
