Glasses Made on At the present time there are quite 2 number of juvenile pickpockets about the city. The police have cases of bovs of five and eight yea c¢ld who have been taught ta pick peckets by some Fagin. These juve- riles ply their trade in the pushcart market and the 5 and 10 cent store To cover up their thieving they fre- quently resort to trickery. Detectives Mugge and Gaynor of the squad were at Fifty-ninth street and the Queens borough bridge recently. They nc | ticed’an old woman waiting for a ca { a little fellaw of five ye i up to her apparently badly frightened *“Oh, please, mam,” he pleaded as he clung to her skirts, nts to hit me.” As he a husky boy of eight danced up to the old lady, and, attempted to strike the younger boy. The old lady beat him off with an umbrella, while the little fellow clung more tightly to her skirts, screaming with terror. The older boy departed, and the five-vear- old boy thanked his savior and went his way. The two detectives followed He met his companion and they saw him pass the pocketbook, con- { taining $10, to the older boy. The de- | tectives then corraled the two, and led { them back to their victim. They ex- plained they were detectives. “Then,” explained the old lady, “vou should lock up that big boy. He wanted to “make that big boy go | | their hit that poor little fellow.” When the | detectives handed the old lady her | pocketbook and explained that ‘the poor little fellow” haa extracted it! from her handbag she gasped in| | amazement. “Land sakes alive,” she | exclaimed, “they do teach children | a tender age in this| The indeterminate sentence law ha caused hundreds of plckpockets to | leave the city in the past few months. | By this law if a pickpocket is con- victed he may be sent to the work- an indefinite period. The s Commissioner of Cor- rrections Lewis say: does not like manual labor or the prospect of epending many months in jail, so for that reason hundreds of them have embarked for flelds where they may practice their vocation with more safety This does not mean that there are no pickpockets in the city for {here are enough of them left to make | life uncamfortable for the traveling | public, but it explains the growing | activity of the female pickpocket. An old ickpocket who had joined the exodus, and had departed from the city for a place where the law was not o stringent, recently wrote a letter to Inspector Cray, protesting at the w the police were treating him. He wrote that as he had left the city, and was no longer bothering the police he | thaught they should let him alone. He ¢aid that whenever he was arrested in New York police sent on his record to the local police, and that he thought was ungrateful, and made it difficult for him to earn a livelihood at pick- ing pockets. The pickpocket out of the city is now engaged in Tobbing the clerks off for vacations as they are leaving a crowded boat or train. { Lieutenant McKenna and Detective 7rank D. Cassassa have been pursuing pickpackets for twenty vears. They know the faces and history of hun- dreds of pickpockets, and also know all their tricks. Detective Casassa says that the safest place for a man to carry s wallet is in the inside vest pocket, snd that the most careless place to carry it is in the hip or trausers | pocket. Pickpockets, he savs, are to be found on the rear platforms and rear ends of crowded underground and surface cars so that they get their victims both going and coming. A great many persons, he says, are robbed while they are boarding a car. The victim is shoved in the back, and at the same time his wallet is ex- iracted.
