Entered at the Post-Office at New York as Second-Clasa Mall ROSS RAYMOND AND THE HIGHLY A peculiarly fascinating type of criminal to our remote ‘Ayran ancestors was the Master Thief, as they called him—the thief with brains. By this name they designated the adroit adventurer—not so much a prototype of better grade of confidence man. ‘The abundant SGieseae popular literature of antiquity is full of stories of his cleverness in getting possession of property not his own. He is the leading character in many stories and the popular interest in him seems to have been very vivid and real. Two superior modern instances of thi3 type of the intellectual criminal have been furnished for the scrutiny and contemplation of New Yorkers within recent years in Orrin Skinner, who died in Auburn and is now half forgotten in the newspaper chronicles of | { Alvords and Secleys, and in Ross Raymond, who came to grief in his attempt to personate an English earl and is now snug in Ludlow |‘ Street Jail—not exactly near tho end of his rope, but at that de- clining stage of his career, partly the result of bodily infirmities, where he may be referred to as of the past. The lees of an ill-spent life are in his glass and he is drinking them off without heeltaps. This was a noble pair of scoundrels—arcades ambo—black- guards both, and accomplished far beyond their fellows in crime. Each possessed the gift of manner and charm of mind that go far to insure the possessor a high place in society. Yet each was by preference a criminal. 7 THE WORLD: MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 1901. 3 EDUCATED TYPE OF CRIMINAL |: the modern burglar and embezzler as of the|‘ Ce OO9O90444 MONEY GIVEN AWAY —Covoe Zr i— Ze po DUNK [1000 f LLA LIOR ARY | aims tn o oer Skinner, in the days of his prosperity, before he was reduced to| ‘ the hand-to-mouth expedients of petty swindling, was an unusually attractive man—an apt converser, a man of well-stored mind, 2 man of mental resources and in elegance of attire and ease of bearing one of society’s own. $e e-e-ee-e-ene-c-enee ORRIN SKINNER ND nose RAYMOND, Ifo was a well-read lawyer and the son-in- Senator Browning, Douglas’s successor. In the intervals of a career of raseality that sent two lovel; women and a tine old man to untimely graves and left a trail of swindled widows and deserted brides over half the continent, Skinner found time to write an exceedingly creditable work on economi Crime to him was a pursuit such as pleasure may be to a young heir newly in possession of the paternal fortune. He had no small Raymond twenty years ago was equally well equipped, except by marriage, for a successful career. He was a larger man physically than Skinner, but, like him, a man of fine ad- dress, handsome, suave of manner, personable, educated far beyond the capacity of profes- sional crooks. PHIUON MENTAL EXDOWMENTS OF THESE crooks. Ho was a newspaper writer with the gift of an easy prose style and the eye for the salient features of facts which combine to make the staff correspon- dent. Like Skinner, he had a tasto for literature and in the innocent periods of leisure between crimes he read Burton's “Anatomy of Melaneholy’’—a seholar’s book. What perversion of the moral nature impelled these aceom- r of crime? plished men to a ea Was it a slight sinister strain from some ancestor who in the days before society became conven- tional was a ecroo A drop of moral scrofulu running its fatal Gilbert’s hero who said, “It revolts me, but [ do it’? And what did it protit them financially ? The income of this sort of crime, averaged year in and year out, is so small and precarious that a youth on a bookkeeper’ salary is better off, quite regardless of the attendant peaco of mind and security of person. An equal amount of talent and energy applied to a business venture may secure a good station in socicty a life of self-respont and eventually a grave in Greenwood. “Himmy” Hope, Vanderbilt. of his pro- fession, earned perhaps $200,000 from his bur- glaries.
