Jimmy Logue
]James E. "Jimmy" Logue (1837 - October 4, 1899) was a Philadelphia based burglar who is thought to have stolen an accumulative of more than $300,000 over the course of his criminal career. He mostly targeted homes and shops but also occasionally banks and spent time in and out of jail. In brief announcements of his death in 1899, he was referred to as "the notorious bank robber".〔 He is perhaps better known for the disappearance of his third wife, Joanna, who was later discovered to have been murdered by her nephew, Alphonso Cutaiar.〔("Jimmy Logue is Dead" ), ''The Philadelphia Record'', October 5, 1899〕
==Early life==
Jimmy Logue was born in Philadelphia in 1837 and began stealing when he was a teenager. According to him, it came naturally to him and he told his physician on his death bed that "It was born in me. I couldn't help it."〔
His real name was alternately claimed to be James E. Logue,〔("Strange Story of Crime" ), ''Baltimore American'', April 29, 1895〕 William Casey,〔("A Noted Burglar Surrenders" ), ''The Sun'', March 7, 1895〕〔"Jimmy Logue Locked Up. Coroner Ashbridge Surprised by a Visit from the Old-Time Burglar", ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', March 7, 1895, Vol. 132 Issue 66 p. 3, 1〕 and Henry Greyson, the latter of which he can be found recorded as on the 1880 census in the Eastern State Penitentiary.〔"United States Census, 1880," index and images, FamilySearch.org, (entry for Henry Grayson )〕
It was said that Logue's mother, Mary Logue,〔"He Was Born a Criminal. Peculiar Defense Set up for Jimmy Logue.", ''Tacoma Daily News'', July 10, 1895, Vol. XXV Issue 89 p. 1〕 owned a large piece of property later in life 〔"Open Doors to Correspondents. About Jimmy Logue some Account of the Man and the Story of His Capture", ''The Philadelphia Inquirer'', August 12, 1871, p. 3〕 but she claimed that while pregnant with Jimmy, his father was spending all their money on alcohol and not providing for their family and so she had to steal money from his pocket while he slept. She believed this was the reason thievery seemed inherent in Jimmy.〔"Born a Criminal", ''Tacoma Daily News'', July 12, 1895, Vol. XXV Issue 91 p. 2〕 Logue later attempted to use this as a defense in court.〔"Pre-Natal Agencies Novel Defense Of Jimmy Logue, The Burglar. He Will Offer a Letter From", ''Oregonian (Portland, OR)'', July 11, 1895, p. 3〕〔"Criminal by Inheritance Letter from Jimmy Logue's Mother Wetten on Her Death Bed", ''St. Louis Republic'', July 10, 1895, p. 9〕
