New York as Magnet for Chicago Crime Figures
A Chicago study by Rev. Hembree shows 1 114 fugitives from justice were captured at outlying points, with 71 murderers and 63 forgers among them. Most arrests occurred in six states led by New York, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana. For the embezzlers the pattern is across 86 states and two foreign lands. The report suggests criminals prefer large cities, rail routes, and avoid country life, with the bulk of fugitives captured near Chicago’s rail network.
