Excerpt from The Spirit of Labor This method seemed to work very well as a means of expressing the world of crime, the world of the stage, or any milieu not too com plicated and not too important. In my Au tobiography of a Thief, the simple story, in the first person, of a pickpocket's life, seemed sufficient to give the reader a fairly complete idea of the manners, customs and mental habits of the professional criminal.
