• What the Board Did's quotation or excerpt is recorded as It was in 1881 that [Henry Clay Keenan] scored one of his most brilliant achievements, by running down the Lindauer gang of burglars. The gang had been committing burglaries and thefts right along, and Keenan was detailed to run them down. He managed to become acquainted with female friends of the leading members of the gang, and he soon gained the girls' favor. They trusted him, and he became one of their boon companions. In the course of his alliance he learned from them many important secrets regarding the burglars with whom these women associated. The gang had its headquarters for some time within a few blocks of New York police headquarters. The New York police were ignorant of the existence of this den. Keenan learned so much about the thieves while with the women that he soon had enough evidence to arrest the gang and land them in jail. Keenan arrested five of the robbers, and they were convicted. That broke up one of most daring band of robbers that ever infested Jersey City^[12].
