ITHE DEADI DETECTIVE.
The End of Allan Pinkerton's Strange
and Romantic Car r.
Allan Pinkerton, the greatest detective.of
the United States, vhbo died in Chicago
July .1, was bdrn ini Mi irhead street,
Glasgow, Scotland, on the 25th day of
Augnfs 1819. His parents were in humble
circumstances, his father, William Pinker
ton, being Ieiployed as a Police Sergeant
by the municipality. When Allan was but
a small boy his father died from injuries
received at the hands of a prisoner! whom
lie was arresting, and the family were thus
deprived of their means of support.
Before attaininig his majority young
Pinkerton became imbued with the senti
ment' of independence and reform which
were advocated by those who put forth the
"People'aCharter-" in Groat Britain, and
Pe soon became identified with the eel
ebrated Chartist movement of the dis
affected people. The G3overnmentresolved
to crush the revolutionary movement, and
several of the leaders wore arrested and
transported. Fearful of his owfi safety,
Allan Pinkerton resolved toleave the coun
try and seek a refuge in Anlertei. Aceord
ingly in 1842 he was married to Miss Jane
Carfrae, and on the following day the
young couple set sail for America, landing
fat Quebec, after a perilousvoyage, in which
their vessel was wreaked, and the suffering
passengers piked up- by a passing vessel
and iiarried to that port. From Quebec
Pinkerton and his yoithg wife made their
way to Chicago ib the rake's. Tj young
couple, oicng to their 'sisfortunes, wore
nearly dcAittatc; but with a stoat heart he
applied himself to'securing employment.
Meeting George Anderson, who was'then
engaged in the tobacco business, he enlisted
,the services of that gentleman in his behalf,
and soon succeeded in obtaining employ
'ment at his trade-that of a copper.
While employed afterward in'his business
as a cooper at Duindee, Ill., he had frequent
saccasion to visit sdine of the islands in Fox
iiver 'to ijrocure materials for his stock,
-and while on one of these he discovered
`the existence of a gang of conterfeiters,
who made the island their retreat and
established their headqnarters. Having a
natuiral love for adventure, and being a
straugerto fear, lip detrd4ihed td thqrough
ly inivestigate the entiie operations of these
couuteifeiteis, which he eventually suc
ceeded in doing, effectually breaking up the
aristence of the gang, and securing the arrest
pand conviction of John Craig, the leader
and prime mover,'together with the most
prominent and dangerous of his associates.
Whon Mi. Boonie iwas elected Mayor of
Chicago he appointed Pinkerton as a deter
tive of the 'city force. This was the first
,appoint nt of a betectil-6 it (hicago. In
1852 Pinkerton became imipresied with the 1
important of establishing a detective
agency which would be iidepepdesit of
'political influenc , ;mld by whosg pforts
the criminal ceuld be punished without
fear or persofnal Atver. He accordingly
associated with sitn r, Edwarn I. Rucker,
ain attorney at law, and securing the patron
'age of several railroad companies, then in
their infancy, they started the "Piniierton
Detective Agency," the first ineititution of
its kind in the t itod States. Rueker con
tinued witt, him only about a year, when
'Pinkerton undertook the entire manage- I
inent. When the agency was first estab
lished they employed some four or five men,
among the' most pirominent being George
H. Bangs, .afterward General Superinten
dent, and who remained with Mr. Pinker
ton, until his death, which occurred last
year, and Timothy Webster, who, while in
his employ, was taken as a Union spy and
executed at Richmond, Va., during the Re
bellion. From that small beginning the
detective force under Mr. Pinkerton's
orders increased steadily until it now num
bers nearly 300 men.
In prosecuting his business Mr. Pinker
ton made it his inflexible rule never to
operate for reward or on payments con
tiugent upon success, and would never al
low any of his operatives to receive any
;reward or gratuity for their success. He
pain his employes liberally, and worked
for those who engaged him at a certain
fixed sum 1ter diem, which was all that was
ever received. 'Another notiecable feature
of the nature of his immense busmaess, and
one of the-striatost rules of his insfitution,
was that lie never under any circumstances
could be induced to operate in a divorce
case, or witre family matters were in dis
pute.

William A.. the eldest, has charge of the
Chicago (fic3 and the Western Division,
while Robert A. is the General Superinten-!
dent and has immediate charge of the
Eastern offices. His daughter is the wife
