He had thoughts of having had his pocket picked, because he re- called that ‘the last time he had seen his wallet was when he took it out of his back pocket. shortly after 8 o'clock in the morning, to pay a bill at a gro- cery store. Possibly, he thought, a picketpocket had seen the ; bulging money in the awallet and had frisked it out of the pocket after the bill had been paid. Mr. Albury had given up the $78 as lost, when Raymond Ca- brera, another call officer, found ‘the wallet lying on the jail floor. On opening the wallet, the $78 was intact. The latest theft reported to the sheriff's office was made by Al- fredo Diaz, who said entered his grocery at 1101 Si- ;monton street and stole $125. | MANY TRAINED ENGINEERS WASHINGTON — There are an | estranged half-million technically trained engineers and scientists in the United States. somebody | THE KEY WEST, | ESPINOSA TO TAKE OFFICE JANUARY 5 Unlike Raul Carbor Carbonell; who be-| gan his duties as justice of the Peace as soon as he received his ccmmission, Jose Espinosa, though he has his commission as ;constable for the second district, will have to wait till January 5 before he begins his term of of- fice.
