SAN JOSE, Calif. UP1) -San
Jose police today checked
the possibility that a "treat"
received by a housewife earlier
this week may have some
"trick" involved.
The woman received a letter
Monday addressed "Occupant,"
but carrying her address. It
contained four colored snap
shots wrapped in five $20
bills of her 10-year-old daugh
ter. The pictures showed the little
girl playing on the sidewalk in
front of her home with a neigh
bor's child. Neither youngster
knew when the pictures were
taken or by whom.
The woman also said she has
received a series of mysterious
phone calls and in each case
the party calling held the line
open but did not speak.
Police returned the pictures
and the $100 to the perplexed
woman, and began checking the
possibility of a link between the
anonymous calls and the letter.
A police spokesman empha
sized that no law has been vio
lated, but authorities felt an in
vestigation of the incident was.
advisable.

Most of these desperadoes
were devout Hindus. They wor
shipped the godess Kali, to
whom their victims were dedi
cated. They garroted their victims
with silk bandanas because it
was considered a bad omen to
stab people with daggers or be
head them with swords.
One of the outstanding accom
plishments of a British Viceroy
of India in the middle 19th cen
tury was the suppression ot
"thuggee."
Lord William Bentinck im
pounded a burly army officer
from Britain, Major General
aieemnn, and gave him the
task of hunting down the thugs.
During a mass anti-bandit
campaign which lasted several
years, Sleeman captured thou
sands of thugs. Most were
hanged and the organization
was disbanded.
British rulers mainlainect
their rigid control over law
lessness until they left the sub
continent in 1947 but relaxed
conditions following independ
ence brought about a revival of
bandits in the country.
The new class of bandits
proved to be a bigger menace.
"These new dacoits (robbers)
are actually bands of well or
ganized marksmen who do drill
actually bands of well organ
ized marksmen who o drill
and target practice in army
fashion," one retired police
commandant told UPI.
Exploited Change
These bandits fully exploited
the governmental change-over
in 1947 and lost no time in or
ganizing gangs which operated
from bases in riverside jungles
in central India.
One of the most famous In
dian bandits was a lough, mus
I ached feudal lord, Raja (King) '
Man Singh, a sort of Indian
Robin Hood who robbed the
rich and helped the poor.
More than 1.000 policemen
ennseq man hingli lor seven
years until 1955 when a Gurkha
sniper shot the bandit king
while he crossed a stream.
Man Singh's lieutenant;
known as "Roopa, the Hand
some One," took over after hia
chief's death and was a con.
slant terror until 1959 when he,
ton, was killed by police.
The so-called anli-dacoity op
erations have cost the ex
chequer a sizable amount of
money. The Uttar Pradesh gov
eminent alone has a 7 million
rupee ($1.5 million) plan for
elimination of bandits.
Inspector General of Police,
K.F. Ruslomji of Madkya Prad
ish said banditry in India should
end in another 10 years.
Itustomji, thinks the bandits
now don't have the same local
protection they did until a few
years ago. '
"They have come down to
kidnapping children now, and
there is a public revulsion
against them which has pro
duced solid support for the po
lice in the new series of anti
dacoity encounters," Rustomji
said.
