By 1880 his mother had been widowed and the family had moved to Chicago and Burke had become a professional criminal. His brother, John “Fat Man” Burke, claimed he was a plumber but he also worked as a professional criminal. Two of Burke's younger brothers held positions in the telegraph office. This proved useful to him later when he needed access to messages sent by private detectives, such as the Pinkertons. Burke met Sophie Lyons and they became criminal partners in the early 1880s. Lyons was an adept pickpocket and Burke's specialty was theft by subterfuge, or sneak thievery. (A sneak thief worked by distracting his victims in order to rob them without using violence.) Burke was polite and well-dressed, which put his victims at ease. Burke and Lyons were arrested for attempted bank robbery in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky in 1892. Lyo ...
