Some of them g0 80 far as to pick a pocket. Strange as it the holiday season, if they escape detection, ay make enough to support them for some months. Only one of the two does the steal- ing. The other acts asaconfederate. Qne en- ters a store, goes to a counter where fine goods are displayed, and engages the attention of the clerk. While thus = she will select a fine jiece of valuable — article @ manner that easy bundle to conceal. While thus engaged the confederate enters and attracts the atten- tion of the clerk. The first customer is nbt in a burry, and she kindly excusca the clerk to wait on the newcomer. Then. while he is en- ‘gaged with customer No. 2, customer No. 1 conceals in her wrap the article selected. Sel- dom does the clerk discover the theft until too late. Evenshould he discover the loss of an article he would probably hesitate to charge his customer with theft. The shoplifters usu- ally dress well, and would not be taken for thieves. Even if he should suspect her he would find it a difficult matter to confirm his suspicions, because the stolen goods are se well concealed. The shoplifter usually wears a large false pocket which is fastened around her waist or to some undergarment, in which articles can be inserted through a slit made in her dress for that . These pockets are usually fastened with a safety-pin, so that if de- tected the pin cam be opened, fetting the pock- et, containing the plunder, fall to the ground. ‘These pockets are sometimes fastened with corset strings run through eyelets with a loop fastened on the outside, so that by Cage the loop the thief can easily get rid of e stolen goods. This is the favorite and probably the easiest manner of shoplifting.” “Have there been any cases of shoplifting here this season?” asked the reporter. jone thatI have heard of,” answered the detective. “There have not been large enough crowds for them to operate as yet,” he contin- ued. “The purchasers are not so numerous this year as formerly, but then many of them may be waiting for pay-day. Then the rush will come and then is the time when the shop- lifters and others will probably attempt to op- erate.” and —___ Transfers of Real Estate. Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: | J.

The testimony given number of witnesses left no doubt in the mind of the court as to the guilt of the defend- ants, but when they were sworn in their own behalf they gave a different coloring to the affair altogether. Lawyer Ricks, who appeared for Meredith, in summing up the case said: “I always have some suggestion to make to ened honor, and in this case I will suggest that both defendants be fined.” The court followed the suggestions of counsel, and fined them $10 eon es “] paid my fine at the station-house last night,” said Meredith, who had left $5 col- lateral, “You only left $5.
