It Is Now Applied to the Most Danger'
out Criminal! With Whom the Offl
etn of the Law Have te 'Contend.
Nitroglycerin in Safe Bursting.
, In the expressive siting that per
men tea police circles throughout the
country, a "yegg" js One of the dan
gerous criminal class.
The question Is often asked, "What
la a yegg, nod bow did the expression
originate? An answer to the latter
part of tho query will lead to an eluci
dation of tho first
Sdiiio yours ago, when tho United
States government was experimenting
with blgb explosives, wishing to secure
some death dealing and destructive
shell that would cnuse more damugu
than any before manufactured, some
one suggested that nitroglycerin be
Mod. Up to that time this most pow
erful of explosives bad not been util
ised In tbla way.
The government experts went to
work, and the resulta of their expert
mouts were from time to time pub
lished broadcast through the commu
nity, At lust they succeeded In mak
ing a shell In which nitroglycerin was
the chief component pert and which
made all former ones sink Into Insig
nificance. In a town in the middle west at the
time there lived a man named John
Tcgg. In bis earlier days be bad been
one of tho most expert electricians as
well as all round experienced mechan
ics In the country. Later, through drink
and bad associates, be bad descended
to a Ufo of crime, bis principal art be
ing that of safe blowing.
lie wna attracted by the published
accounts of tho experiments of the
government authorities wltb nitro
glycerin. The thought struck him.
Why could not this bo used In blowing
safes?
The method at that time was to drill
bole In the safe to be wrecked, fill
this with powder or dynamite and
then toucb the fuse. This method,
however, required considerable time to
pull off "a Job" and waa uolsy and
dangerous.
Yeg; went to work on the nitro
glycerin method. lie tried It, and It
was a complete success. Furthermore.
sfter be bud performed Job after Job
he bad the police of the country baf
fled. They did not know 'bow the
work ' was done. Yegg Instructed
others In the art, and soon from one
end of the country to the other safes
were being wrecked, but by what man
ner no one knew.
Yegg's method waa to take some of
tbe explosive which be and tbose wltb
hliu called "soup"and, by the way.
this term Is still extant and pour It
tho crack of the safe near the
nlngos of the door. Tbe small aperture
waa then covered with soap to bold
the explosive In place. Tbe fuse won
pplled, and with tbe explosion off
went the doors, slick and clean. Tbe
entire Job took but a few minutes, it
remained for a young Plnkerton de-
ective to aolve the matter on a safe
that was blown In Coldwater, Mich.,
where a bank was wrecked and many
thousands of dollars secured.
Tbe crime was traced to Yegg and
some of his companions, and they
were found guilty and sent to prison.
Thereafter tbose who employed the
nitroglycerin Instead of , the older
methods were called "reggmen" or
yeggs."
This was the beginning of the term,
but since that time tbe application of
has grown greatly. Today a "yegg,"
lewed from whatcrer aspect, is the
most dangerous criminal wltb whom
the police of tho country have to deal.
IIo Is one who rides the country o'er
on freight trains, working through the
south In tbe winter and mlgraUng to
more exhilarating dimes during the
summer. He will beg when be Is
hungry and will steal and commit
murder when ho sees an opportunity
of benefiting himself
Today there are thousands of "yeggs"
scattered throughout the country. Most
of them belong to some certain band,
each one of which bas a leader. He
Is the king. It Is bis duty to enlist
recruits. To him also is shinned all
the loot, and ho In turn converts It Into
money ana places tbe amount to tbe
credit of tho member aendlng It In.
For this the king receives a commis
sion. '
Most of the "yegg" gangs carry what
Is known as a "kitten" with them. The
"kitten" is n boy, young man or crip
ple, whose duty It Is to visit houses
and places of business, nppnrently beg
ging food or selling shoestrings, lead
pencils, etc.. nnd who then reports to
the gnng "the lay of the land" so that
when the time comes for pulling off
the Job all nre familiar with the prem
ises. The "kittens" are often runaway
boys and Inter become "yeggs" them- i
selves, destined to follow a life of
crime and degradation. Pittsburg Ga-xetto-Times.
