Con games occurred most often in the spring; juvenile delinquency in the summer; husbands and wives killed each other in the fall; burglaries were most common in winter. Byron had statistics to prove this, but he went beyond dry facts. Weekly for more than ten years he donned the clothes of a working man and plunged into some of the roughest bars in town. He rubbed elbows with thieves, lackeys, and off-duty cops in his search for material. At 40, he was an expert on con games.
