NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1860. have been from time to time placed in the gallery, and asa study for the visiters or the curious, add interest to the collection. It would naturally be supposed that the murderers would carry evidences oftheir disposition in their faces, But, the most expert physiognomist could with difficulty separate them from the pickpockets or the confidence men— THE ROGUES’ GALLERY. wA* SKETCH BY AN OLD DETECTIVE, The Murderers, Coufidence Men, Counterfeiters, Burglars and Piekpockets of New York, Pen and Ink Portraits of Promi- nent Criminals, Gharacteristics of the Gallery—How the Por- traks are Obtained—Modus Operandi of Regue Catching—Crime as a Profes- slon—Eficacy of Judge Rusell’s appear—with but one exception—that of the “man monkey.” JEAN BOSQUET THE “MAN MONKEY.” No. 408 is Jean Bosquet, the ‘man monkey,” one of the most hideous human faces that can be ima- gined, resembling more that of an enraged monkey or baboon than that of a men. He was once a Nea- politan soldier, and subsequently a galley slave. He was sent to this country by King Bomba’s govern- ment, imcempany with other criminals. The Com. Leng Terms of imprienment, misslomyen of Emigration, however, did not think the &e., &e., &c. country would be materially benetitted by his pre- ee sence in this part of the world, and made arrange One of the few improvements in the police sys- fem of New York, made under the auspices of the Metropolitan Police Commissioners, is the eatab- Mebment of the Rogues’ Gallery, consisting of a col- Jection of portraita of prominent and professional @riminals, numbered and registered, together with a9 accurate dita as can be gathered as to their lives, habits, arsociations and haunts, to be referred to as @secasion requires, But, of what use is all this?” is the natural in. qpiry of the reader; and in deference to that Ameri- @an and utilitarian view of the subject that question hud, perhaps, best be answered at the outset. Tho use is simply thie: Ifa house or store is robbed, or & pocket picked, the owner may possibly recognise io the gallery the physiognomy of some individual who bas been seen lurking about the place, in which @ase the police can probably find him ina short time. Indeed such a desirable result has been ef- Seoted ins pumber of instances. The record is al- ‘ways avuilable to the department, and does not Gepend, as heretofore, on the memory of the officer; for it is made the duty of members of the force 0 impart such information as they can for preser- ‘Yation, s0 that the record of suspicious persons and places, as well as the minute history of professional Pogues, may be preserved forreference. A descrip- tion of a thief, then—if he be a professional—is pretty pertain to be recognized by the police; and if a man bas his pocket picked, it is mot at all improbable that he will tind in the Rogues’ gallery the likeness of the amiable gentleman or interesting lady who sat next hin im & stage or car, who jostled against him in the street, asked the time of day or night, solicited alms, or resorted to any of those dodges so fa- miliar to pickpockets, aud so generally attracting ‘the attention of the victim after the harm is done. Nor is the effect of the Rogues’ gallery unsaluta- By upon the rogues themselves, They are not in- sensible to the damage done to their profession by fhe exhibition of their portraits, and not a few have been induced to reform, or at least to pretend to do 80, by this easy means of making the public familiar..with their visages. Some have been led fo pursue their nefarious vocation with greater eavtion, and others to seck other and less dange- Feus fields of epeculation. If the gallery served no other purpose than asa study of the natures of those who populate our prisous and penitentiaries, who openly pursue ille- gal avocations in defiance of all law, depending on their own shrewdness and daring for escape, its ee would be by no means contemptible. The con- templation of these hardened faces cannot but af- ford food for the reflections of the philosopher and philanthropist; nor can the mere idle gazer visit ‘the gallery without reading in the furrowed faces ef crime lexsons of inestimable value. ome wonder may be expressed that the rogues sbould submit to have their faces daguerreotyped, but when the process is learned agtonishment will eease. ‘The planis qu simpie. ine culprit is asked to sit; if be refuses, he is threatened with a.| walk up and down Broadway, with a placard show- ing his profession appended to his person. In moat eases the threat fs sufficient, and in othera itis put execution, and succeeds. If a long term of im- prisonient is before the culprit, and he proves ob- durate, he is registered for trial when he shall be set at liberty, so-that he will have @ motive for re- tiring from the public gaze. ‘The visiter is struck with the apparently re- wpectable appearance of many‘of the subjects, and eften with the resemblance to noted individuals in Upnest life. There are all forma of expression, rom gay and jovial to brutal and ferocious, and @piess the beholder is gssured,in a great many cases, of the character of the subject, it would be next to impossible to judge adversely from @ mere glance at the features. The most subtle pbysiog- nomist might well be puzzled to indicate the vil- Jarous expressions in three quarters of the coun- tenances, while in many cases it seems incon- sistent with reason to believe that the honest, open, manly, intelligent face before you is ihat of a sneak thief, a desperate bur- giar, a pickpocket, or ® confidence man. Bat there are demons in human form there repre- sented—black, forbidding, desperate, ferocious, villanous, hangdog treacherous looking scoun- @rels, whom you would dread to have behind you, or within « respectable distance of your person— men with all sorts of facial deformities, who look as i@ they had had terrific scuffles with bears, rhinoce reees, tigers and panthers, and had come off victo- wiovs, with a large proportion of the attributes of those gentle animals. Yet, amid the whole, there are resemblances to prominent men to keep you mindful that they are jbuman. Like all other classes of society, they have their grades of renown and obscurity, of wealth and poverty, of ability and stupidity, and ef pride. An expert bank robber scorns the socie- ty of a small pickpocket, and a confidence man Pooks with extreme disgust on the brute fa- eulties of the burglar. They have their weaknesses and follies, and their illustra- tions of the genius of differeat nations. The English monopolize the skilfal burglaries, the Americans the confidence men, the Irish the daring deed requiring reckless bravery, the Jews the va Jastion of goods, the French the ingenuity of ma- ehinery—and so on to the end of the chapter. The genus of the fair sex is not unrepresented, and the female form divine appears in the charac ters of modesty, of boldness, of beanty, of Mrs. Candleishness, of cunning, and of vanity, juat as is seen in honest life. The guady ribbon, the dashing @regs, the flashy jewelry, or the voluptuous swell @enote the ruling passion. All the mainsprings of human action appear to be represented, not excepting charity, which the ficriptures cay is greater than faith and hope. More than one of these professional robbers is noted for his generosity to the needy—with other people’s money, to be sure—but more so than the Wail street financier, whose bogus bank rags have impoverished thousands. They have their repre- sevtatives in the Legislature, their code of “ honor among thieves,” their bravery and courage, their intellect, and count their devotees from all ages, ecxes, colors, and nationalities. Many of them are net ashamed of their profession, and boldly visit the gallery to view the additions which have been made, and many of them are considerately taken care of at the public expense, farnished with com- pany, friends, regular meals free of expense, and gecare habitations. Luckily, government hes not this care to take of all of us. MURDERERS, ‘The purpose for which the gallery was institnted— that of identifying professional criminals for the protection of the public—cannot be served by the preservation of the portraits of murderers, who are supposed to be immediately put out of person’s way by the haw. A number of portraits, however, ments to send him back. They sent a messenger with him to‘buy a passage ticket, but on the way to the ticket office he unceremoniously made himsel scarce, The next that was heard of him was tha: he was arrested for the murder of Martin de San tez. He was confined in the cell with another prisoner, whom he attempted to kill by stabbing him sixteen times with afork. He was sent to Siag Sing for life, and is said to behave himself well in the institution. THE MURDBRESS, MRS. HARTUNG. No. 259 is the celebrated Mrs. Hartung, convicted for murder in Albany, and sentenced to be hung, and in whose behalf such strong efforts have been made to secure a pardon. She is a rather pleasing looking German woman, neatly dressed, with a small face, looking by no means fiendish. She is in prison yet on a respite. FELIX BANCHEZ. No. 259 is a poor likeness of Felix Sanchez, who murdered bis father-in-law and acolored girl in Laurens street. He is a Cuban negro, and has a re- pulsive though not brutal face. His escape, the long search for him, his being sold as a slave, and final confession and recapture at New Orleans, are fresh in the minds of our readers. HERNANDEZ, THE WEST BROADWAY MURDERER. No, 130 is the likeness of Hernandez, the Spaniard» who killed his wife in West Broadway. He was found standing over the body of his wife lamenting the deed. They kept a low house, where thieves and prostitutes resorted. He is a native of Aca- pulco, and is yet in prison. His face is not re- pulaive. WNULTY, THE ALBANY MURD! No. 22 is McNulty, the murderer of Policeman Hudson in Albany. He had previously served one term in the State Prison. He much resembles a man who was a bogus reporter of some notoriety about a year since. THE WESTFIBLD (CONN.), MURDERER. No.61 is Stoub, the Westfield (Conn.) murderer of a family, who escaped to this city, but was arrested and taken back. He haaa stolid, German face. THE NEW LONDON MURDERER, No. 385 is the portrait of Wm. Goldson, the Irish- man, who killed his wife in New London, Conn., and afterwards escaped to this city, but was cap- tured and sent home. He does not look half so des" perate as many smaller villains in the gallery. CONFIDENCE MEN. A CUTS OPERATOR. No.1 is Cushing. alias Alexander Johnson, alias Simonton, not equal to the celebrated original con- fidence man, but a very shrewd genius, who “ did” Mayor Tiemann out of aconsiderable amount, and on one occasion made some manifestations that astonished a devout spiritual circie. It appears that he persuaded the spiritualists that he was a medium, and prevailed upon the circle to deposit all their watches, rings and jewelry ina hat, Yor result was, the circle” wale ciate. room, The some time, and finaily concluded that it was quite astounding, as the individual had sloped. He isa dark complexioned, small, genteel, shrewd looking man, with rather a Jewish expression. He now luxuriates in apartments in a State institution. A LADY CONFIDENCE OPERATOR. Madame Emile de Gasan, alias Eugenie Con- stance, isa middle aged woman, a German, with a Jewish expression. She seldom visits this city, but practices confidence operations in the Southern States. She speaks French, German, Italian and English. She is about 45 years of age, and is said to have been quite successful, and to have recently visited New York, BOB BISSELL. No. 264 is the pleasant face of Robert Bissell, said to have been one of the parties who last year bled the doctors by calling and pretending to leave mes- sages, and taking then whatever he could lay his handsupon. He is about twenty-four years of age, a little over six feet high, with light blue eyes and brown curly hair. Keep clear of him. THB COUNTRYMAN’S FRIEND. No. 147 is Billy Dumas, alias Charley Dayton, & young fellow who, last season, is said to have ope- rated upon ® number of countrymen. He fre- quents the vicinity of the Museum and other points where the “green uns” are often met with. When arrested recently he had a pair of “nippers” in his poesession—used by sneak thieves in entering houses or rooms where the keys are left on the in- side of the door. It is, therefore, suspected that he is also turning his attention to domestic operations, “CAB.” No. 148 is the likeness of David Johnson, alias “Cab.” He is twenty-eight years of age, and like most confidence operators,an American. He has light complexion, hazel eye, And is a little lame. He represented that he was going to reform at one time, and gothis picture taken ont of the gallery, but bis pretences turned out to be a confidence operation, and his likeness resumed its place. A BATGH OF CONFIDENCE OPERATORS. No, 58 is Pete Duffy, probably one of the most notorious confidence men in the city. He can very frequently be seen on Broadway; he operates in such of the well known confidence games as are most convenient, including the harness game, ban it safe game. He is pretty stout, ett completion, sandy. hair, generally dyed black; keen face, and blueish gray eyes. seis walned’ in Loudon, and has, taleut for various kinds of business. She has two brothers in Chicago, with a woman known as a Gypsey palmist or fortune teller. ; A STRONG CONFIDENCE MAN. No. 255 is Charley Shaw, alias Mail,a Swiss by birth, who has served one term in Sing Sing, a very desperate fellow who has “travelled little on his muscle,” but generally practices rm osm =) game by “doing” unsuspecting store! ‘eepers . On one occasion, when being ‘“‘show- eeu ta tbe shower ath at Sing Sing, he broke el cence cea "i spectable p ee the le Island State prison tiving the confidence ie at a hot He eeto hae been an pare more swindler. TWIN CONFIDENCE MEN. Nos. 175 and 176 are Wm. Halleck and Lawrence Roberts, partners in the confidence, harness, patent safe and other sharp operations. They have respect- able relatives in Rensselaer county. It is a striking instance of the indebtedness of the city to the rural districts that large numbers of oar ils come from up the river. The city of Troy is known to be one of the most notorious resorts of counterfeitecs and other rogues, who from thence come down and add to the unenviable reputation of the Empire City the disgrace which legiti mately belongs elsewhere. COUNTERFEITBRS AND COUNTERFEITING. One of the most lucrative and least dangerous crimes is that of bank note counterfeiting, while. the talent required in the business is greatly over- rated, It js generally supposed that counterfetters so unlike the general notions of murderers do they | a a we ae; mast be artists, engravers, chbuaistd. and excellent penmen, while in fact the most dangerous counters feits in circulation are produced without any of these supposed necesiary accomplishments. The explanation is simple enough to be comprelended by the dullest intellect, and is briefly this: Tho system of bank note engraving in vogue in all parts of this country is such that the counterfeiters | adreitly employ the best engravers to unconscious- ly execute the best counterfeits, and numbers of | cases are upon record where engravers of the highest respectability, who engraved the original | plates, were employed by the counterfeiters to exe- cute the counterfeit. This fact explains the excel- lent workmanship on the best counterfeits, and the frequency with which banks accept fraudulent imitations of their own notes, The patchwork plan of constructing the notes enables the counter- feiter to obtain the different portions from different engravers, leaving for himself only the mechanical duty of combining and printing them. Or, the peculiar construction of the notes enables the counterfeiter to alter the name or denomination of the bill with facility. In addition to these induce- ments, there are the loose laws with reference ty the issue and passage of bogus notes, so that in propor- tion to the trouble and risk of the business the crime of bank note counterfeiting is the most lucrative. ‘The crime of coin counterteiting is more dauger- Ous and less successful, and except in the branches of “sweating” or “boring,” by substituting base metal for the interior of the coin, is seidom reward- ed with great success. The counterfeiters, however, are said to have an extensive organization, known as “ circles of alchemy,” which numbgr among their members many prominent men, sup, 1d to be hon- est, who really lend their influence to screen the culprits, The association is said tonuwber between six and eight thousand members. There are one or more circles in this a in Troy, one in Albany, and others scattered through the States. Through the aid of these societies confederates are frequent- ly rescued trom Corr They have also issued circulars containing full directions tor the maanfac- ture of counterfeit coin and paper money, giving the preparations of metals for base coin und other information to aid in their nefarious business. JERRY COWSDEN, THE KING OF COUNTERFEITERS. No. 438 is the portrait of the notorious Jerry Cowsden, who is, or ought to be, known to all the prominent memberg of the old police force, and some of the new. He has pursued the business of counterfeiting bank notes for many years, has served a pumber of terms of imprisonment for counterfeiting, and escaped any quantity of times when his lengthened incarceration seemed inevita- ble. He is Lg | ibe to about every bank note engraver in the try, so ofteu and persistently has he moguet.to them for the purpose of pro- curing their aid to his nefarious operations. This plan of procedure was to pretend to the en- gravers that he wanted plates for legitimate pur- poses, such as the printing of checks, notes, bills of exchange, labels, &c. After procuring the dif- ferent devices required for his purpose by these means, he would combine them ann produce a finished note executed by the best artists, and often liable to be taken by the bauks themselves. Jerry bas been often arrested with the materials for counterfeiting on his person; but, as stated above, bas irequently avvided conviction. The last time he was arrested in New York he broke out of the cells at =r Metropolitan Police Headquarters. It wo seem strange that Jerry should have been able to do this when confined in the buil where there were fifty policemen, supposed to be the best in the force. amor has ested that Jerry got out with a golden key; but the idea may be cious. Jerry ix about 36 years of age, of sallow complexion, sunken chest, dark hair, slim legs; about five fect 104 inches high, witha general appearance resembling an alderman, whose name we refrain from mentioning for fear he might think, with another historic individual, that “comparisous are odorous.” Jerry is said to have gone to Troy. He is well known there and in the West. No. 26 is James E. Watson, alias Leonard Barker, & notorious counterfeiter, recently sent up to Sing Sing for four from White ‘Plains. for- merly kept a p in this city, which was the resort ot many doubtful characters. No. 226 is Fred Cowles, alias Warner, a German seer of counterfeit money, comm: a pa of fei ry only called “shover.” He was caught with two biils in his possession, and to escape conviction swallowed them. A prompt emetic, pha caused bim to bring them to light, and out o! his 9" opera? he was cor*<* ‘Rather a »> ~” OPeration ap BURGLARS. AN OLD STATE PRISON BIRD. No. 232 is Harris Grin, alias Greenthall, said to have been 8 thief in Germany, and to have served altogether twenty-seven years in different terms of imprisonment, ending as a burglar. He is stout built and thick set, with black hair and eyes, about forty-two years of age, and five feet eight inches high. He is little known to the police, althongh his ortrait recently graced the columns of the Gazette. His determined features denote his adaptability to his desperate profession. A MULATTO BURGLAR. No. 251 is Leonard De Vesay, alias Charles Fay, a desperate mulatto burglar, who has served twen- ty two years in prison, and is now in for fifteen years more. His terms were firet two years, next three, next seven, and next ten for cutting an offi- cer in Brooklyn while the officer was attempting to arrest him for burglary. His last sentence of fifteen ears was for the commission of a burglary in the ifteenth ward. He lived at the time with a good looking white girl abouteighteen years of age, who no doubt mourns his loss. Charley was sent up in July, 1858. His bald head gives quite a vene- rable appearance. CHARLEY FAY'’s “PAL.” No. 250 is John Francis, Charley Fay’s “pal” —a black burglar with a most villainous expression of countenance. He is much darker than Charley. He was once sentenced to imprisonment for life for arson, but was pardoned out after ten years’ ser- vice. He was sent up for twelve years for the burglary with Charley Fay. ‘ JOHNNY MILLER. No. 192 is Johnny Miller, a noted first class burglar, and s very daring one, He is & Scotch- man by birth, with dark complexion and dark eyes. He is now undergoing a sentence of five years for a in South street. He gives strong signs of on the approach of visiters to the prison, and is trying to get pardoned out on the plea of consumption. ie kept a place in Canal street that was the resort of the most desperate thieves of the : JOHNNY MILLER’S “PAL.” No.6 is Tom. McCoy, alias Timothy Sullivan, Johnny Miller's “pal.” Tom has served several terms for the State, and is now in for barglary. He basa light complexion, dark hair and gry eyes. He was caught with burglar’s tools in ,used in a Grand street robbery. LITTLE DAVIS, THE JEW GENIUS. No. 309 is Abraham Davis, alias Little Davis, alias Myers, a German Jew, one of that class of thieves who, from their knowledge of goods and facilities for disposing of them, have the monopoly of store bu , shoplifting, and robbing railroad depots. Davis has the credit, or justly, of having invented several very iy or any inatra- ments. One of these was devised when safes were first made, and it waa not thought necessary to chill the wards of the locks. It consisted of an in- strument to cut the wards, so that the bolts could be readily shoved. Another wasan apparatus ‘or scaling the outside of frame buil He asso- ciates with the first German thieves in the United States, and is a very dangerous professional rascal. OLD BILL LINDSAY. No. 462 is Old Bill Lindsay, as simple looking an old man as one would expect to find on a New Jer- sey railroad train. His aliases are Wm. Smith and Dickenson. He is one of the old school English burglars, perhaps sixty-six years of age, stout built, witheandy b hair. “He is said to be now in the West, where. he principally operates. He looks mueh like an honest old farmer. AN EXPERT AT VARIOUS DODGES. No. 308 is Morris Goldstein, a Polish Jew, per- haps as good a judge of goods of all kinds as most merchants; a very successful and daring shoplifter and burglar, who keeps company with the leading thieves. Formerly, the English had the voeenaht of burglars in this const, andl they still are considered the most expert at robbing banks, But, the German and Polish Jews, being better ac- uainted with goods, and having greater facilities for diposing of them, do not depend so much upon “fences,” whose opraptictors grosaly decetve the English and American burglars in the valuation of ‘operty brought to them. Consequently, the Po- feb Jews are said to monopolize the store burgla- ries and shoplifi ving to a large extent. SUKEY BACCHUS. very unlucky American btrgiér, who! has served two terms on Blackwell’s Island, and three terms of two years.each in the State prison, and about one year of temporary commitments for various of- fenees. He {xa graduate of the House of Retuge, without much force of character or skill, He is a New Yorker by birth, about 28 years of age, and generally yery poor. : JACK, THE OOBBLER. No. 350 ia John McCoomb, alias Jack the Cob- bler, alias Jack McCold, the son of a respectable shoemaker. Jack was suspected of being impli- cated in the robbery of Bowen & McNamee’s store, on account of his mistress having rented rooms in the adisining tenement house on Pearl street, through which the burgiura entered. Jack is twenty-five years of age, about five feet eightinches high, with dark complexion und dark hair. He re-. cently passed himself off on a respectable girl, whom he married. He and others are in the habit of visiting Staten [sland and other similar resorts, and their ance bas been frequently reported by citizens of those localities to the New York police, DAVE CRAWFORD. No. 31 is Dave Crawford, who formerly kept a saloon near the Broadway theatre. He is uow in the Connecticut State prison at New London, on account of the finding of several thousand dollars worth of stolen goods in the possession of himself and “pais.” He was sent up in 1857 for five yeara, He has a genteel appearance, and ia thirty-cight years of age. Of the four others arreated with three were convicted and one escaped. AN INSTANCE OF LAW WITHOUT JUSTICE. No. 30 is the portrait of Carpenter, alias William Young, sent up at the same time with Crawford for five years, but recently pardoned out to bes wit- ness against notorious receiver of stolen goods, It will be remembered that it was cited as a curious operation of the law, that while Erick was at liberty on bail, the wife of Carpenter, who was to be a witness against him, was impri- soned one year awaiting his trial in vain. Erick is, we believe, still at liberty. A NICE PAIR OF BROTHERS. No. 208 is the physiognomy of W. d. Curtis, alias John Woodbull, and No, 209 is that of Andy Curtis, alias W. H. Bartlett, recently arrested on suspicion of rovbing a store in Albany. From the evideace, however, it did not appear that they were impli- cated; but when arrested they had one of the finest collections of Lurglar’s tools ever captured by the police. It was a truly a splendid Int, W. H. Curtis Was opce “sent up” on a charge of committing a burglary in Fourjeenth street, and Andy for appro- riating Governor Townsend s watch, They have ith been in ostensibly honest business, SECOND AND THIRD RATE BURGLARS. | Gentlemen of this ilk are generally also sneak thieves, hall thieves and men. like No. 433, who have never had friends to give them instruction in the business at an early age, or they are children of respectable parents—sometimes wealthy—who have, from various reasons, been driven to this ne- farious business. The third class burglars, such as are iv case three, though operating with the great- est caution, take the most desperate rieks. The yoceeds of their robberies are sold to “fences” at Ot & tithe of their value. A leading burglar will Wait months to do a job, know that the mouey is to be-had, avd go a thousand miles to get it with the least possible risk. He will work with the utmost desperation after he ounce commences, but will not ascume unnecessary risks. ‘The first class burglars are men of middle uge, while the second and third clasees are young men who commence us sneak thieves hud ‘hall Uveves, elevate their genius to the brand ofcracking” small places, and if they are skilful, finally emerge into tirst class operators. THE UNFORTUNATE BRIDEGROOM. No. 463 is Jake Mellich, alias John’ Wilson, a Ger- man, about thirty years of age, who recently finish. ed a ten years term in the State prison for burglary. Jake was out but a few weeks when, wishing to get married, he undertuok to raise the necessury funds to celebrate the nuptials by committiug a burglary. He was unfortunately caught und seat to his old quarters for five years. He has dayk lair, a bad face, and ts five feet nine inches high. EDDY COLB. No. 440 represents the interesting visage of Eddy Colb, a noted receiver uf stolen goods, who was sent up for four years recently. He has served oue or two terms on the Island, and has been sent to the State prison, where he now is. He is about Yad the Yepahor wr-wul dark hair and eyes, and INGENIOUS ESCAPE FROM SING SING, No. 353 ia Jim King, allas George Jamies, a bur- glar, now in Sing Sing on 4 term of fifteen years. He once escaped in a singularly ingenious manner. He worked in the cooper shop, and made two little barrels to place under his arms and float him in the water. He procured a fellow convict to throw some shavings over his head, aud thus floated se- curely off past the sentries, several of whom no- ticed the remarkable phenomenon of a bundic of shavings floating against the tide, * JUDGE RUSSELL’S SUBJECTS. Nos. 119 and 150 are Collock, alias Colly, and Jobn Ganin, alias Shaw, two brothers, mere boys, with the most desperate faces in the gallery. The elder ia serving @ long term, for gar- roting, having been sentenced by Judge Rassell. PICKPUCKETS, JUDGE KRUSEPLL FRIGHTENED HIM. No. liv ia Johnny Grapes, alias‘ Johnny Bowen, now in England, but an old operator here, and ex- pected to return shortly. Johuny is sometimes called a swell mobsman, because he has a dashing style and genteel manners, capable of passing him in most any society. He made a fortune here by the lightness of his fingers, and went home to spend it, in company with a number of other English thieves. Before departing he paid a visit to the Rogues’ Gallery, anuouncing that he intended to retorm, and in explanation of the stainpede to Eng- Jand is reported to have said to the officer in charge that he did not do anything, and “By G—d, those long terms given by Judge Russell scared the boys.” He baa no idea of getung forty years acquaintance with Sing Sing. He has a light complexion, and is about 28 years of age. His hair is rather dark and his eyes blue. He dresses weil, and, with his bold features and a fine checkered shawl wrapped around his shoulders, presents rather 4 classic appearance in the pictures in the possession of the police. He wegen the Jast man to be suspected as a pick- pocket by any one not posted in tue dodges of the craft. He has been several times overhauled, bat is in geueral pretty successful. A BMART LADY PICK. No. 321 is Mrs. Crow, alias Mrs. Wilson, alins Sarah Gorham, and much resembles a mulatto. She has thick lips, light eyes, and is not very at- tractive. The likeness is not 80 good as one in ssion of the Pittsbu lice. She is the Renghter of an old thief--anEbslish pickpocket of the firet class—and prides herself on being of first rate “ goniff” stock. A short time since she visited the Rogues’ Gallery to see the pictares, and on looking over one of the cases said, ‘There are four or five good men there, but most ef them are @ disgrace to the cross,’ meaning that they were toskilfal thieves. Mra. Crow has travelled consi- derably throughout the United States in pursuit of her profession. She was formerly with Gorham, who is now said to be in Virginia, althongh she says he is out East. As is customary among women of this class, she has made up for her absent lover by attaching herself to ano' She is , rather stout built, has red hair, and is rather cross in her look. She generally dresses well, aad travels with another girl with dark hair, dark eyes, and rather taller than herself. THE LONG DOCTOR. No. 322 is the “Long Doctor,” a tall, genteel Englishman, with quite an honest expression of face, which no Aoubt enabled him to practice his vocation of pocket picking unmolested. He easo- ciated with the leading men of his class, and was for a time successful, but at length was nabbed, and for a number of years beguiled the weary hours in asecure Northern retreat, where he wa relicved from molestation from without at the government expense. He recently returned to this city, and may now be frequently seen in Williamsburg with Fox, and other noted In personal appearance be much resembles a phys! cian in ‘ood practice, from which he takes his son/riquet. fe expects to make a good thing of it, before he is “copped to rights again.” READY FOR ANYTHING. No. 289 is Charley James, an Englishman, about forty years of age, said to be an excellent “knack,” but ready for sneak thieving, boarding house opera- tions and the like. Charley is stout, light com. plexioned, has dark hair, hazel eyes. He has been pretty successful, and though constantly about town, and daguerreotyped in the Ty, is not known to @ large number of the police. ANOTHER LADY “ EXUCK.” No. 189 fa‘Poll Leonard, alias Mary Ann Newton, No. 433 is Sukey Bacchus, # second rate, and | sliae Roew, alias Barnes, aliag Franklin, alias George —TRIPLE SHEET, rested and several times convicted. She is gener- | ally successful, and is a very laborious pickpocket? riding frequently instages.
