It was often said that criminals who crossed police chief Alex Brown's path never had a prayer.
Unusually for someone who reached high rank, the police wasn't Brown's original career choice and he became one almost by accident.
That passerby happened to be his own boss Assistant Chief Constable David Warnock - who would later become the force's, Chief Constable.He quickly rose through the ranks ending up as Detective Superintendent and deputy head of Glasgow CID in 1957.Like Father Brown in the GK Chesterton books Brown was methodical in his methods with a keen understanding of how people ticked.
In November 1956 he discovered that a group of police officers had stolen cigarettes from a shop in Duke Street, Dennistoun and had then divided the proceeds among themselves. Twelve cartons containing 1600 fags had been taken.The aim was to catch his colleague when he was at his most vulnerable. It worked because the Constable made a full confession.
It would now only apply where the murder had been for profit, or involved death by shooting, explosion or the death if a police officer.Ironically the killer knew Cornelius O'Donnell, husband and father of the victims, as they had both served time in prison together. From the statements taken at the time Brown quickly identified a suspect local man William Simpson who had grudge against Honour following a dispute over money he believed he was owed.
