In
the case of a murderer, in a majority of cases, his capture is
the result of skilful "roping" by an astute detective who
manages to get into his confidence. For example, a murder is
committed by an Italian miner. Let us suppose he has killed
his "boss," or even the superintendent or owner. He
disappears. As the reader known, the Italians are so
secretive that it is next to impossible to secure any
information--even from the relatives of the murdered man.
The first thing is to locate the assassin. An Italian
detective is sent into the mine as a laborer. Months may
elapse before he gets on familiar or intimate terms with
his fellows. All the time he is listening and watching.
Presently he hears something that indicates that the murderer
is communicating with one of his old friends either directly
or through third parties. It is then generally only a
question of time before his whereabouts are ascertained.
Once he is "located" the same method is followed in securing
additional evidence or material in the nature of a confession
or admission tending to establish guilt.
