PINKERTON DETECTIVES' METHODS
EXPOSED BY FORMER OPERATIVE
Charles A. Siringo in Remarkable Book Shows Up Well
known Agency Tells of Work on Big Labor Case
Gives Inside Dope on Haymarket Riot.
A big squeal on Pinkerton's Na
tional Detective Agency is out this
week in a book by Charles A. Siringo.
He worked for the agency 22 years.
He was the body guard of J. P. Mc
Partland, the Pinkertori chief at
Boise City, Idaho, during the Moyer
Hoywood tnaL He did shadow
work during the Haymarket "anar
chist" case.
The book has been secretly print
ed by the Conkey house and the
whole edition shipped out of Chicago
on the quiet to guard against injunc
tions by the Pinkerton agency. Two
years ago Siringo started publishing
a squeal book and he says the Pink
jrton's "kept nie tied up in the su-
perior court of Cook county two
years, at great expense." He states:
"It was not allowed to come from
the press until changed to suit Pink
enton's. My lawyer, Fletcher Dobyns,
advised me to make the changes, as
the attorney for Pinkerton's threat
ened to carry the case to the U. S.
superior court and tie up the book
five years. Many things had to be cut
out and fictitious names used. They
made me change the name of Tom
Horn, their pet detective, hanged in
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and had me
state he was Working for private par
ties. I was told they didn't want the
public to know he had been in their
empToy.-"
