Other editions of book The Autobiography of a Thief

Excerpt from The Autobiography of a ThiefIt was only after he had become a profes sional thief and had done time in the prisons that he began to see that crime does not pay. He saw that all his friends came to ruin, that his own health was shattered, and that he stood on the verge Of the mad-house. His self-education in prison helped him, too, to the perception that he had made a terrible mistake. He came to have intellectual ambi tions and no longer took an interest in his Old companions. After several weeks Of constant association with him I became morally certain that his reform was as genuine as possible under the circumstances; and that, with fair success in the way Of getting something to do, he would remain honest.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Hutchins encountered the former bandit and robber whose story of his life comes right after his discharge from a third term in the reformatory. For some weeks, Hutchins was not predominantly attentive with him. He was filled with longing to write in the periodicals an exposure of situations acquiring in two of our state establishments, his intention is likely in part vengeance and in part a very real sense that he had come across with an orderly crime counter to benevolence. But as Hutchins prolonged to meet more of him, and knew so much about his story, Hutchins' attentiveness increased, for he soon learned that he not only had steered an average burglar's life, but was also an individual of greater than conventional natural intellect, with a reward of hearty appearance. Hutchins thus advised him to make an autobiography. He adopts the thought with fervor, and during the whole time of their composition together, has displayed a firm attention in the life account and utterly resolute expertise and realism. The manner used in writing the book was that, basically, of the meeting. From the mid-March to the first of July they see each other almost in the afternoons, and some nights, at a small German café on the East Side. Hutchins Hapgood was a journalist, writer and anarchist. Hutchins was raised in Alton, Illinois, where his father was a prestigious maker of farming tools. After one year at the University of Michigan, he moved to Harvard University, where he earned a B.A. and later accomplished a Masters degree. Two of the paramount years were spent learning sociology and philosophy at the universities of Berlin and Freiburg, Germany. At first, he worked as a professor of English composition at Harvard and the University of Chicago, but was gradually influenced by his elder brother, Norman to take up a profession in journalism.
