Dressed Crooks: The Rise of Well-Groomed Thieves
The Chicago Daily Journal describes a trend of well dressed crooks, including pickpockets and wire tappers, who use fashion to blend with society. Annie Gleason, the “princess of thieves” in London, is cited, alongside Chicago and New York acts, as examples of criminals who leverage attire to gain trust and access. Authorities note a growing habit among criminals to dress richly, aiding deception and reducing suspicion.
