WORKS OF JOHN YEGG
A Daring Burglar Who Attained
Fame In His Line.
HIS NAME A POLICE LEGACY.
It Is New Applied to the Mest Dsnasr
us Criminals With Whem the Offi
ears of the Law Have to Centend.
Nitroglycerin In Safe Bursting.
In the eipresaivs slant that per-
nieates police circles throughout too
country, a "J?fff" one of tbo dan
gerous criminal class.
Tbo question U often asked. "What
is a yegg, and how did tbo expression
originate? An answer to the latter
part of the query will lead to an eluci
dation of the first
Some years ago. when the United
States government was experimenting
with high explosives, wishing to secure
some death dealing and destructive
shell that would cause mora damage
than any before manufactured, soma
one suggested that nitroglycerin bo
tried. Up to that time this most pow
erful of explosives had not been util
ized In this way.
The government exports went to
work, and the results of their experi
ments were from time to time pub
lished broadcast through the commu
nity. At last they succeeded In mak
ing a shell In which nitroglycerin was
the chief component part and which
made all former onea sink Into Insig
nificance. In a town In the middle west at the
tlmo there lived a man named John
Yegg. In bis earlier days bo bad been
one of the most export electricians as
well aa all round experienced mechan
ics In the country. Later, through drink
and bad associates, ho had descended
to a life of crime, his principal art be
ing that of safe blowing.
Ho was attracted by the published
account of the experiments of the
government authorities with nitro
glycerin. The thought struck him.
Why could not this be used in blowing
safes?
Tbo method at that time was to drill
a nolo in the safe to be wrecked. 011
this with powder or dynamite and
then touch the fuse. This method.
however, required considerable tlmo to
pull off "a Job" and was noisy and
dangerous.
Yegg went to work on the nitro

waa a complete success. Furthermore.
after ho bad performed job after Job

work was done. Yegg Instructed
others in the art. and soon from one

Yegg's method was to take some of
the explosive which be and those with
him called "soup" and. by tbo wsy.
this term Is still extant snd pour it
In tbe crack of the safe near the
binges of the door. The small aperture
was then covered with soap to hold
tbe explosive In place. The fuse wss
applied, and with tbe explosion off
went tbe doors, slick snd clean. Tho
entire Job took but a few minutes. It
remained for a young PInkerton de

that was blown In Coldwater, Mich.,
where a bank was wrecked and many
thousands of dollars secured.
Tbo crime wss traced to Yegg and

nitroglycerin instead of the older
methods were called "yeggmen" or

money and places the amount to the

For this the king receives a commis
