o NG CROOKS ri in WM Inspector McClusky Starts in the Work of Freeing the City of the Safe-Blowers and Grafters. CALL HIM THE HEAVY HAND. He Is to Make Them So Scarce that Men May Safely Walk the Streets with Gold Watches Exposed or $1,000 Bills Pinned to Their Coats Farewell to ol Broadway forever: ‘Farewell to my weet pals as well: Varewell to the long White Pathway, ‘Whore we used for to cut sich a ewell. . From the Ballade of the Sate-Blower. You have heard of the the "dip," the “box man" or safe- {dlower, the & guy” and the “wise Guy." Now we have the “heavy hand." The man who proposes laying on the "heavy hand’ is a dapper, sharp-eyed, well groomed and alert gentleman, who Sits behind the door with the buzzer at Police Headquarters—let us reintro- @uce George McClusky, now Inspector. It George McClusky makes good to what he promised an Evening World reporter to-day a drinken man can watk up Broadway with his gold watch hanging out, his diamond sesrf pin angling, and $1,000 bills pinned to his waistcoat. According to this promise, New York has seen the very last cf crooks, Its a Big Undertaking, That is a big undertaking, as those who know how this big city {s filled with bincklegs will admit, A very small proportion of our citizens have any acquaintance with this phase of clty Ife, rong arm,” The fact is that If you waik trom Forty-second street along Broadway to Twenty-third street, day or night, you are passing a gauntlet of the most astute grafters that ever lived upon their wits. “Grafters?" ejaculated the suave Me- Clusky. “Why, there are men in town to-day who would take candy from a sick child or swipe a live eel from a fish-stand. ‘They'd crack a safe, too; rob @ flat, and kill a man for his gold ‘super.’ "" When McClusky fails to chatting @bout these stellar crooks he seems to know his ground. Picking up # paper’ containing an articls by Joslah Flynt, nee Willard, the young man who spent some years in the “under- ground” world, the Inspector ran his eye hurriediy over the list of black- legs mentioned as being in town and here's a lot of .thia that's true some. that J not. te? nearly every crook in town, Filng those of the hobo yariety. hare to keep track of them.
