THE FORGER- WHO CHAL- LENGE? SCOTLAND YARD

When I Joined the Metro lltan Police at Peckham. very ps1. u! 11135011,‘ in lllﬁnhllbthct young err-soldier was deciding to be l burglar. I will call him Jgmgg Rcbinsom-thoslgh lhat was not his real name.

While I studied hcrw to shelter my bulls-eye oil lantern under‘ my umber cspe when it rained, and at ‘the same time neither suffo. cats nor set myself on 'fire, my). inscn. a thin-faced intelligent lad of 20. was learning how to break into warehouses.

‘The ssrne month I got the first 0! my 69 Conmlissioners recom- mendations-for a betting-house raid as an excited young wnsigme ilivblrwvn rot three years’ Bors- ta

In 19m. while I was phrasing my letter of application to be transferred to the newly-formed Fingerprint Branch, young Robin. son was organizing a little gang of bicycle thieves in Hpmgey, Neither of us knew then 1,1151; h. was fated to become the most lll-litbrous forger in British crime annals. . .

Hr Was A Gunman at Twenty-Three

ft was not for forgery that. he Bot his first heavy gacl sentence. As I walked up the historic steps of Old Scotland Yard (where the first Fingerprint Department used to be) Robinson was firing five revolver s-hots at a policeman who struggled to arrest him outside his gang headquarters.

H8 sot lien years' Penal servi- tude sl- the sse of 2a. m. Justice Bronson said: "It was only by heaven's mercy the officer was not killed.

When the iron gates opened years later and Robinson came out. I had been movrnoted Ser- geant in a rapidly expanding pin- gerprlnt Department that had moved into the highest floors of New Scotland Yar).

Robinson, too. had changed In i319 Kflmmesl. bleakest university of the world-Dartmoor Prison li- brsry-- he had achieved culture, book-learning. changed from arti- san to technical scholar.

Tried to Make Us A Laughing- Stock

And nawyre had something in common. We were both interest- ed 1n fingerprints.

Not, however, from t-Ile some viewpoint. Robinson wrote dozens of articles, pamphlets, on why fingerprints were useless in crime- llrevention. He tried to make Scot- land Yards Fingerprint Depart- ment a laughing stock. He. issued o challenge that he could forge my fingerprints and copy them in blood on an object I had never touched. The err-Borstal bike chief had started down the road that was w make him s modern scien- tlst of crime. _ "Fingerprints Call Be Forgedﬂ’ the headline on his article coal-I longed.

True. But with our apparatus such forgeries can always be de- tected. ~ I have waited id years to give him this answer pioblicly.

So that was James Robinson on fingerprints. It was the state- ment of a misguided men - but not the argument of an ignorant men.

l-le found it more to his taste to rob shops. and was sent to Dartmoor for three years in i981, no doubt feeling easier in his mind for having been caught red- hsnded instead of being identified by his rims-mime.

when he came out. it Wes not a brrggsrt gem-leader, but s. hushed snd thoughtful man who entered the public library of I sey, North Iondon.

A ed To Be The Greatest Iorger

l-le emerssd with an srmful of books. "Modern Printing." "The Art and Practice of Printing." and "Printing Inks, Their Composi- tion and Manufacture."

He had decided to do his fu- lure lhlevins. u he put it. "llkﬂ .1 gentleman." He planned to be- come the greatest forger in mod- orn criminal history greater than Jim the Penman. who merely mulctecl the bank accounts of in- dividual victims.

" “ M's forgeries, as Mir. Jus-

lice Bilberry was later to say, "struck st the very stability of our: Wield’ and our system." ‘ Robinson look rcrupulmu mire. to fit himself fbr bhe task of becoming a ﬂawless fcrgcr. "This is the greatest idea oi my life." he Jubllsntly told the serious-fee»: ed man who was to be his ss-i sistsnt.

‘llhey took a house in Grouch! lmd. I'm- morc than two years. they read books to each other. bought machinery. mixed cheml-i cals. uapIs merited. llhey became exports in photography. colouring, engraving, eiecLro-plating and printing. .

The liaise, innocent behind its quiet pink, curtains. became a fol-go's patsdI-ss. with elaborate labor ‘ ‘in upstairs and ﬂigtsn. lng new printing presses 1n.’ the cellars.

Sergeant Peacock finally re- ceived permission to take two dar- ing steps. First, that all stamps. forged 0r not. should in future be unhestitatingly honoured at all post offices . . . BUT. at cer- tain selected post offices PB)’- ments should be made only‘ l" marked El and £5 notes.

It was calculated that about ELMO-worth of the forged stamps had already been sold. d

Then bvgan one of those gi- gantlc and intricately patient pat- terns uf organised detective work that the clever crisnlnal with his brilliant ﬂashes of quick genius. never properly allows for in his calculations.

Every piece of printing machin- ery capable of forzllli mo" stamps was investigated.

Every printer believed to D08- sess the technical skill involved came under scrutiny. Every tech- nical college, night. school, public library. where the necessary high- grade tuition or text books might be available, was to be visited.

The House With Pink Curtains Each time one of the specially

marked £1 or £5 notes appeared. detectives worked to trace it back.

The trails led all over town. wavered. converged . . . on a house with pink curtains in

Crouch End.

At 7 a. m. one Sunday morning a group of- Flying Squid “F5- one of them carrying Chief In- spector Bob Fabian - pulled up around the house with the pink curtains. A red Post Office van halted Outside, with G. P. O. ln-

vestlgators. The officers were in the house, laying hands on the startled.

sleepy forgers, uprootfng machin- ery and bundling guilty men and apparatus into waiting vehicles. before the first cf the neighbour- ing bedroom curtains had begun to twitch illqulrlngly.

In the house were found 25.000 forged its/stamps, machines. for

printing them st the rate of 24-000 an hour. and materials for making another 2100.000-

In a suitcase were etched pistes for printing clothing coilpons and petrol coupons. ‘Iihese had not been used . fortunately. for they were flawless.

Samples hang now in the black museum of Hendon Detective ‘Training Bchool. alongside gen- uine stiunps and coupons.

This little teem of forgers could have undermined Britain's entire coupon system.

we most commonly think o! handicaps in connection with sports of one kind or‘ another. in running a rue. for instance, one competitor gives his opponent sc-rnc advantage — 1t may be a certain distance, thmklng that. he 6-111 viii-uh up lvlth him. in such cases the handicap is to the ail- vcmtage of one andto the disad- vantage of the other.

Bu! often too. and perhaps more commonly, we look at it as an ex- perlence in the h-imlsn lot which is a challenge to meet, and iii which we show our mettle. When lye think of it thus We see that illere are various kinds of handi- caps.

There is the financial handl- cap. Poverty is hard to contend with. so is financial ruin such as overtook Sir Walter Scott with the failure of the house of Bul- loniyne. His "Journal" tells the story. how he tolled on, as novel after novel came 11cm h‘; pen. He was deimzrrnxlzd ‘.0 pay his bills. He was responsible for £130,000 stirling. about three quar- ters of a million dollars. He paid 1t all by his pen! This makes his "Journal" one of the most pathet- ic books in the world. y

A physical handicap is often hard, to bear. Byron's club foot was a humiliation. as otherwise he was strikingly handsome. Rob- ert Louis Stevenson suffered from ill health. PTanlclyn D. Roosevelt was lame from early life after an attack of infantile pm-alysls. In the Camp I-IIILI-Iospitsl, Hali- fax, ls Walter Cailciw. who is one of the most wonderful men one can meet. He has been ‘blind for ten years and for s much longer time in bed. nor can he move, but his mind is alert and there is a poet in him somewhere, and so much has he appealed to‘ the public that he has been mention- ed in the House of Commons sev- eral times. He did much to com- fort the men overseas: and by means of his buses-the first of their kind in the world — he gives outings to incapacitated soldiers and those who would otherwise scarcely ever see outdoors. He is like this-

"How far that little candle throws his beams.

So shines a good deed naughty world."

The Bible has cases of handi- cap-Iwe have Paul who had his "thorn in the flesh" and we have the story of the man Zaccheus who has short stature to overcome when he wished to see Jesus. These were physical handicaps.

Charles Lamb had his sister to look after. Regularly he took her to the asylum when she iﬁlt the trouble from which she suffered returning; and yet in spite oi all this trouble he was cheerful and gave the world essays and P061118 urhich are cherished warmly now. His love for her, his devotion to her, is one of the highlights of literature. With a heavy heart must he have made l-hl’: 101K095‘ with her to the hospital.

But these troubles sell/e their purpose. They put us on our met- tle; and if we have the power of endurance we shall emerge all the stronger. Paul "giorled" in I115 lnflrmities. The thorn was not removed but grace was given to bear it and he was content. When the children of Israel got to the "Promised lend." they had to get their costs off. and fight the enemies who had control of the country-s sort of parable of life.

There is a hymn we often sins -"0 love that will not let me go." The author was blind, but George lwalheson ministered to a lsrﬂl congregation in Edinburgh and “was the author cf some twenty books. We are told that. his de- voted sister learned Greek so that she could help him in his studies. Milton's blindness only spurred him on and when he was told that his eyesight was in rinnger because of ills constant uritlng to defend the church and state, he kept right on undeterred.

—(l-fslIfsx Herald).

It is frequently 531d that Amer- ica 1s usually a generation behind z Europe, that things don't happen as soon here as they do there; There is one thing which we in; Osnsds perhaps do not 1181121?‘ With the clarity of Europeans and! that is that the present age is s fearful one in which to live. Catastrophe has not struck us with ‘ the some devastating force. But we are catciung up. i

The Blileclre of another war’ hangs over our items, a war» which could easily mean the end of civilization. The war still goes on in China. We ourselves are engaged in a cold war, one thatl could easily and rapidly become n very hot ones. People havo dreamed of the great benelitsj which the idea‘. oi unlimited pro- gress was supposed to bring. Those people are today becoming incon- solable because the bubble of their dreams has burst. No matter, where we look, we find confu- sion, and in tdlis confused world it is no easy matter to think clearly and lo remain calm. And when! we can do neither of those timings. ' hops 1s easily lost. so many pw- ple today are despairing! Millions‘ suffer and, what is perhaps worseﬂ they expect to suffer. The world; Is weary, its anguish of soul is? almost overwhelming and s ter- rible ssdnese weighs it down. ,

Now we cannot close our eyes. and our hearts st this sight of ai- I most universal misery and distress. 1 But this ls not sufficient. Wei have to open our eyes to a fact ‘ to which we seem to have rio- lutely shut them. The fact is that man cannot save himself. Man- kind cannot be saved by man alone. That attempt has been made many times and in various ways, and it has ﬂlvways failed. ‘Fills does not mean that human efforts to heal the worldue in vain. The evil of the world does not principally consist in absence of hwtnan effort. It consists in absence of God. The solution for the world's troubles, misery and despair is a return to God.

Practically speaking, s return to God means s. return to faith, because it is actually the only way we can return to God. The world by and large has lost its faith and it knows it. When we speak of the ages of faith, we are speaking of episodes in ancient history. ‘This has been for a long time a freethlnkers world, whim means that it is a world without a creed. Sometimes it has been called the world of the liberal, which has come to mean a world that is free to believe whatever It wants to believe. Even some peo- ple who would be indignant if you told them that they did not have faith really accept only the God

ughts For Our Timer By His Eminence Cardinal McGuigcn (CoPYllsht) ~

and the Gospel which they form by themselves. They do not want to socepl; they want to choose. Tlhcy do not accept BAWQUHW- They build up their own God- Faith of on. kind. is rssllv i601- airy and it 1s very dangerous. The ironic part of present-day

lack of faith is that ti’. ‘is really ,_

only a transfer of silesiances.

l Men do not believe God. but they

believe advertising. ‘Illley believe. so they say, in science. There is not lacking a. great number W110 believe Marx or Mend. 10rd Besverbrook, on his visit to T0- roiuo, exhorted us not to loss faith in Great Britain. No one who has encountered an enthusi- astic I-“renmman can fsil lo~ seo his faith m la belle France. The world goes on believing, but now l; believes man and not God. Now this should indicate at least this much: Man Just can't get along without a faith. Belief 1:. s ilecassary feature of human life. We can't live without it, and what 1s more men don't really want to live without it. The 1n- tellactual and moral vacuum vshictl fzecllzinking leer to modem man has successively been filled. by different totalitarian dogma- tlsms. Men want something to live for and something to die for.

"The world is sick of indecision.

That is really one of the reasons why so many ardent people have left their freethinking ways and. have gone over to Communism. I11 at least ls not vague, and it does

- teach something.

But. the only salutary faith is a christian faith, s faith which has not. its foundation in fallible man but. in the infallible God. The only thing that will save the world is the prmence of Christians in it. And Christians wiho are worthy of the name will never" be men of little faith. But they villi re- alize by their faith that it is only above themselves that they will find both light and strength- light that will tell them what to believe, strength to put their faith in practice. for faith without good works is dead.

It 1s only in God that we can. find the remedy for the llLs that lie so heavily upon us and also the secret for achieving a better future. The great need today 1a for men who are not afraid to accept the Gospel. It is still the great. good news, and it has on eternal vitality. It is for today as well as yesterday and tomorrow. It alone can bring comfort and solace to a disillusioned and des- pairing world, and it is still the only teaching which can save the world.

‘ The solution is st hand. What we need ls courageous men and won-fen to put 1t into practice.
