— _._THE ROGUES’ GALLERY, A> SKETCH BY AN OLD DETECTIVE, The Hurderers, Confidence Men, Counterfeiters, | Barglars and Pickpockets of New York, Pen and Ink Portraits of Promi- nent Criminals, Gharacteristics of the Gallery—How the Por- traks are Obtained—Modus Operandi of Rogue Catching—Crime as a Profer slon—EMficacy of Judge Russell's Leng Terms of imprisonment, &e., &e., &e. One of the few improvements in the police sys- tem 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 portraits of prominent and professional eriminals, numbered and registered, together with ae accurate data as can be gathered as to their lives, habits, a+sociations and haunts, to be referred to as @ecasion 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 dud, perhaps, best be answered at the outset. The ‘ure is simply this: If house or store is robbed, or &@ poeket picked, the owner may possibly recognise in 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- Seeted ins vumber of instances. The record is al- ‘Ways available to the department, and does not depend, 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, so that the record of suspicions persons and plates, as well as the minute history of professional Pogues, may be preserved for reference. A descrip- tion of a thief, then—if he be a professional—is Pretty certain to be recognized by the police; and if a man bas his pocket picked, it is mot at all improbable that he will find in the Rogues’ gallery the likeness of the amiable gentleman or interesting lady who sat next him im a 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- wiliar to pickpockets, and so generally attracting ‘the attention of the victim after the harm is done. Nor is the effect of the Rognes’ gallery unsaluta- Fy upon the rogues themselves, They are not in- sensible to the damage done to their profession by the 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 familiarwith their visages. Some have been led fo pursue their nefarious vocation with greater eaution, and others to seek other and less dange- Zeus fields of speculation. It the gallery served no other purpose than asa study of the natures of those who populate our priaons and penitentiaries, who openly pursue ille- gal avocations in defiance of all law, depending on their own shrewdness and daring for escape, ite ‘wee 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 lessons of inestimable value. Pome wonder may be expressed that the rogues sbould submit to have their faces daguerreotyped, but when the process is learned agtonishment will esse. The planis quite simple. The culprit is asked to sit; if he refuses, he is threatened with a, walk up and down Broadwayywith s placard show- ing his profession appended to his person. In most eases the threat fs sufficient, and in others itis put execution, and succeeds, If a long term of im- prisoninent is before the culprit, and he proves ob- durate, he is registered for trial when he shall be se! at liberty, so that he will have a motive for re- tiring from the public gaze. ‘The visiter is struck with the apparently re- gpectable appearance of many'of the subjects, and often with the resemblance to noted individuals in Wonest Jife. There are all forms of expression, dom gay and jovial to brutal and ferocious, and gziess the beholder is gssured,in @ great many cases, of the character of the subject, it would be next to impossible to judge adversely from a mere glance at the featurcs. The most subtle pbysiog- Bomist might well be puzzled to indicate the vil- Ranous 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- glar, a pickpocket, or @ confidence man. Bat there are demons in human form there repre- sented—black, forbidding, desperate, ferocious, ‘villanous, hangdog treacherous looking scoun- @reis, 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 @ they had had terrific scuffles with bears, rhinoce Feces, tigers aud 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 human. 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 Books with extreme disgust on the brate fa- eulsies of the burglar. They have their weaknesses and follies, and their illustra- tions of the genius of differeut nations. The English monopolize the skilful burglaries, the Americans the confidence men, the Irish the daring deed requiring reckless bravery, the Jews the va uation of goods, the French the ingenuity of ma- ebinery—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 beauty, of Mrs. Cav@eishness, of cunning, and of vanity, just as is seen in honest iife. The guady ribbon, the dashing regs, the flashy jewelry, or the voluptuous swell @enote the raling passion. All the mainsprings of human action appear to De represented, not excepting charity, which the Seriptures say 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 rure—but more so than the Wail street financier, whose bogus bank rags have impoverished thousands. They have their repre- sentatives in the Legislature, their code of “honor awong thieves,” their bravery and courage, their intellect, and count their devotees from all ages, eexes, 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 cousiderately taken enre of at the public expense, farnished with com- pany, friends, regular meals free of expense, and secure habitations. Luckily, government Las not this care to take of all of us. MURDERERS. ‘The purpose for which the gallery was institated— that of identifying professional criminals for the protection of the public—cannot be served by the preservation of the portraits of murderers, who are sopposed to be immediately put out of person’s way by the hw. A pamber of portraits, however, NEW YORK HERALD, 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— so unlike the general notions of murderers do they | 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 man. He was once a Nea- politan soldier, and subsequently a galley slave. He ‘was sent to this country by King Bomba’s govern- ment, igcompany with other criminals. The Com- wissionars of Emigration, however, did not think the country would be materially benetitted by his pre- sence in this part of the world, and made arrange 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 that 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 Sing 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 SANCHEZ. No. 259 is a poor likeness of Felix Sanchez, who murdered bis father-in-law and a colored 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 @ native of Aca- pulco, and is yet in prison. His face is not re- pulaive. M'NULTY, 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. TRE WESTFIPLD (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 hasa stolid, German face. THE NEW LONDON MUBDERER, 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 emaller villains in the gallery. CONFIDENCE MEN. A CUTE OPERATOR. No. 1 is Cushing. alias Alexander Johnson, alias Simonton, not eqaal 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 perauaded the spiritualista that he was a medium, and prevailed upon the circle to deposit alltheir watches, rings and jewelry ina hat, Yor him to experiment on in an adjoining room. The result was, the circle waited the developement some time, and finally 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. 4A 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, 264is the pleasant face of Robert Bissell, said to have been one of the parties who last year bled the doctors by calling and pretending toleave mes sages, and taking then whatever he could lay his handsupon. He is about twenty-four years of age, & 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 @ namber 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 hia porsession—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. “cap. No. 148 ia 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 be was going to reform at one time, and gothis picture taken ont of the gallery, but his pretences turned out to be a confidence operation, and his likeness resumed its place. A BATGH OF CONFIDENCE OrERaToRs. 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, ball e, and pat 5 figit’’complexion, ‘eanay ‘balry gederaly ayed Emily, a Scotch black; keen face, and blueish No. 72 is Nettie Saunders, a woman, belonging toa family of notorious thieves; she was trained in London, and has talent for various kinds of business. She has two brothers in Chicago, with a woman known as a Gypsey palmiat 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 a little on his muscle,” but generally practices the confidence ame by “doing” unsuspec' storekeepers and Sante fee On one pi ig when being “‘show- ered” inthe shower bath at Sing Sing, he broke the machine by main strength. No. 109 is Perkins, alias Stevens, a middle aged man of very respectable nts, now serving out a ten years term in the Rhode Island ae oe for practising the confidence at ah ja said to have been an exteastve swindler, TWIN CONFIDENCE MEN. Nog. 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 4 to the rural districts that large numbers of our come from up the river. The city of Troy is known to be one of the most notorious resorts of counterfeite:s and other rogues, who from thence come down and add to the unepviabdle poputetien 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 is generally supposed that counterfeiters ast bie” artists, ebgravérs, chimiatd and excellent penmen, while in fact the most dangerous counter feits in circulation are produced without any of these supposed necesiary accomplishments, The explanation is simple enough to be comprehended by the dullest intellect, and is briefly this: The 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 | Jy 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- | oute 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 tu the issue and passage of bogus notes, so that in propor- tion to the trouble and risk of the business the crime Of bunk note counterfeiting is the most lucrative. ‘The crime of coin counterteiting is more dauger- Ous and lees successful, and except in the branches of “sweating” or “boring,” by substitating base metal for the interior of the coin, is seldom 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 Jend their influence to screen the culprits, The association is said to number between six aud eight thousand members, There are one or more circles in this city, one in Troy, one in Albany, and others scattered through the States. Through the aid of these societies confederates are frequent. ly rescued from difficulty. They have also issued circulars containing full directions tor the maunfac- ture of counterfeit coin and paper money, giving the preparations of metals for base coin and other information to aid in their nefarious business. JERKY COWSDEN, THE KING OF COUNTERFELTERS. No, 438 is the portrait of the notorious Jerry Cowsden, who is, or ought to be, known to all the prominent members of the old police force, and some of the new. He hes 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 km well to about every bank note engraver in the ‘try, so often and persistently has he applied to them for the purpose of pro- curing their aid to his nefarious operations. His plan of procedure wax to pretend to the en- gravers that he wanted plates for legitimate pur- poses, such as the printwg of checks, nutes, bills of exchange, labels, &c. After procuring tke dif- ferent devices required for his patpoas by these meuns, he would combine them and prodacé a finished note executed by the best artists, and often liable to be taken by the banks themselves, Jerry bas been often arrested with the materials for counterfeiting on his person; but, as stated above, has irequently avoided conviction, The last time he was arrested in New York he broke out of the cella at th Metropolitan Police Headquarters. It woul seem strange that Jerry should have been able to do this when confined in the building where there were fifty policemen, supposed to be the best in the force. Rumor has suggested that Jerry got out with a golden key; but the idea may be cious. Jerry is 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, & nowrious counterfeiter, recently sent up to Sing Sing for four years from White PI He for: merly kept a p! in this city, which was the resort of many doubtul characters. No. 226 is Fred Cowles, alias Warner, a German passer of counterfeit money, commonly called a ‘shover.” He was caught with two bills in his possession, and to escape conviction swallowed them. A prompt emetic, however, caused him to bbongervind ahha his own stomach he was fm Rather a sharp operation al) Foun BURGLARS. AN OLD STATE PHISON BIRD, No. 232 is Harris Grin, alias Greenthall, said to have-heens thielin.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 ph) of age, and five feet eight inches high. He is little known to the police, althongh his paid fe recently graced the columns of the Gazette. is 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 beeroape tw arrest him for burglary. His last sentence of fifteen Sy was for the commission of a burglary in the enth ward. He lived at the time with a good looking white girl about eighteen years of age, who no doubt mourns his loss, eget Oi 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 a very daring one. He is a Scotch- man by birth, with dark complexion and dark eyes. He is now undergoing a sentence of five years for a pargesy in South street. He gives strong signs of asthma on the approach of visiters to the prison, and is trying to et pardoned out on the piea of consumption. He 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 hasa@ 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 porglaries, shoplifting, and robbing railroad depots. Davis has the credit, or unjastly, of havi invented several very iyo fous whl ri Serenata Mahan safes were made, was not thought necessary to chill the wards of the locks. It. consisted of aa in- strnment to cut the wards, so thatthe 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 , and is a very 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 » stout wail mriareangy tate He is said to be new oe where rincipally operates. mueb like ‘an honest old farmer . AN EXPERT AT VARIOUS DODGES. No. 308 is Morris Goldstein, s 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 Nini Mor ens Males! , the ye et Bane opoly of 8 country, 5 re ccutvered tee most expert fits beaks: But, the German and Polish Jews, being better ac- joainted with goods, and having greater facilities for diposing of them, do not depend so mach upon “fences,’ whose proprietors grosaly decetve the English and American burglars in the valuation of operty brought to them. beers rw the Po- Esk Jews are said to monopolize the store burgla- ries and shoplifiing to a large extent. SUKRY BACCHUS, very unlucky American burglér, 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 {sa gradvate 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 very poor. V3 JACK, THE COBBLER. No. 350 is John McCoomb, alias Jack the Cob- Dler, atias 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 bis mistress having rented rooms in the adjoining tenement house on Pearl street, through which the burglara entered. Jack is twenty-five years of age, about five feet eight inches high, with dark compleaion and dark hair. He re-. cently pasted himself off on @ reapectable girl, whom he married. He and others are in the habit of visiting Staten Island and other similar resorts, and their prmente has 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 now in the Connecticut State prison at New London, on account of the finding of several thousand dollars worth of stolen goods in the exsion of himself and “pals.” He was sent up in 1857 for five years. He has a genteel appearance, and is thirty-eight Fahd of age. Of the four others arrested with ee 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 be a wit- ness against @ notorious receiver of stolen . It wilh be remembered that it was ced 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 againet him, was impri- soned one year awaiting his trial in vain. Erick ia, we believe, still at liberty. A 4 NICE PAIR OF BROTHERS. No. 208 is the physiognomy of W. &. 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 evidence, however, it did not appear that they were impli- cated; but when arrested they had ove of the finest collections of Lurglar’s tools ever captured by the police. It was a truly a splendid Int. W.H. Curtis ‘Was once “sent up” on a charge of committing a burglary in Fourjeenth street, and Andy for appro- priating Governor Townsend s watch, They have th been ip 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- Jarious business. The third class burglars, such as are iv case three, thongh operating with the great- est caution, take the most desperate risks. The yoceeds of their robberies are sold to “fences” at ut tithe of their value. A leading burglar will wait mouths to do a jub, know thet the money is to be had, and go a thousand imiles to get it with the least possible risk. He will work with the utmost desperation after he ouce commences, but will not assume unnecessary risks. ‘The first class burglars are men of middle age, while the second and third classes are young men who commence us sucak thieves hnd'ball tieves, elevate their genius to the dignity of‘cracking” smal! places, and if they are shiltul, Hnally emerge into tirst class opecators. 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 terin in the State prison for burglary. Jake was out but a few weeks when, wishing to get married, he undertook to raise the necessury funds to celebrate the nuptials by committing a burglary. He was unfortunately caught aad seat to his old quarters for five years. He has dark hair, a bad face, and ts five feet nine inches high. EDDY COLB. No. 440 representa the interesting visage of Eddy Colb,a noted receiver uf stolen goods, who was sent up for four years recently. , He has served one or two terms on the Island, aud has been sent to the State prison, where he now is. He is about iwenty yeurs of age, stout, dark hair and eyes, and has the reputation of being reckless. INGENIOUS ESCAPE FROM SING SING, No. 353 is Jim King, alias George James, a bur- glar, now in Sing Sing an a term of fifteen years. He once escaped in a singularly iogenions 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, and thus floated se- curely off past the sentries, several of whom no- ticed the remarkable phenomenon of a bandie 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 is serving @ long term, for a roting, having been sentenced by Judge Rassell. PICKPOCKETS, JUDGE RUSSELL FRIGHTENED HIM. No. 110 ia Jobuny 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, announcing that he intended to retorm, and in ¢xplanation of the stampede ty Eng- land 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 hua no idea of gettung forty years acquaintance with Sing Sing. He has # light complexion, and is about 28 years of age. His tiair 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 a classic appearance in the Pantares in the possession of the police. He would be the Jast man to be suspected as a pick- pocket by any one not posted in the dodges of the craft. He has been several times overhauled, bat is in general pretty successful. + & 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 so good as one in ssion of the Pittsburg police. She is the Rieaiter of an old thief—an English pickpocket of the first class—and prides herself on being of first rate PE Sg stock. A short time since she visited the Rogues’ Gallery to see the pictures, 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 thieves. Mrs. 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, although she says he is out East. As is Skat among women of this class, she has made up for her absent lover by attaching herself to another. She is small, rather stout built, has red hair, and is rather cross in her look. She generally dresses well, aud 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 ‘oubt enabled him to practice his vocation of pocket picking unmolested. He easo- ciated with the leading men of his class, aud 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 was relicved from molestation from without at the government expense. He recently returned to this city, and may now be frequently seen in Williamsburg with Bill Fox, and other noted individuals. In personal appearance be much resembles a ® cian in ‘ood practice, from which he takes his sowbriquet. le expecta 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 “‘knuck,” 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 wi werrco! known toe large number of the polite. 7 ANOTHER LADY “ KNUCK.” No. 189 is"Poll Leonard, alias Mary Ann Newton, No. 433 is Sukey Bacchus, @ second rate, and | sliag Ross, alias Barnes, aliap Franklin, alias George | SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1860.—TRIPLE SHEET. Franklin's“ Moll,” She has been many times ar- rested and several times convicted. She is gener- ally successful, and is a very laborious pickpocket? riding frequently instages. She recently kept, it is bi hy Tachi ken” (drinking saloon) int Dutch street.
