Byrnes at its head with an increased salary and a new rank of chief inspector. This office and rank were created solely for him, and a clause in the act provided for their termination upon his retirement or death. From this time on for thirty-five years he was a most prominent figure in the police department of New York. Prior to 1880, according to Richard Wheatley, thieves and crooks prized the Wall street district as the richest of their hunting grounds. Burglar- ies of large amounts were num...erous, hold-ups were frequent, and other forms of criminality were common. Inspector Byrnes changed this completely by establishing a detective headquar- ters in the Stock Kxchange building, which was connected by telephone with every liank and banking house in the district, and now, as the result of his relentless and persistent warfare, any criminal known to the police who may be found in the district below Fulton street is at once seized and compelled to account for himself, and it has been stated that if such a character ever wished to visit Wall street, even on legitimate business, he was obliged to secure permission from the police depart- ment, and was only allowed to transact his errand- under the escort of a police officer.
