NINE YEARS OF AGE.
Within the past ten days number of pocketbooks
have been stolen in the ncghborhood OF Fourteenth
street and Sixth avenue, tho contents OF which
amounted In all nearly 81, 000 Tho police werc
tIacd Of the fact. and Detectives Dks and Handy
were detailed to watch tho locality and break up the
operations of what was believed to be an expert
enced lot OF pickpockcts who wcre taxing advantage
OF tho crow led condition Of the thoroughiare 10 re-
iieve the unwary OF their purses Several arrests
were made oil suspicious characters but sufficient
evidence could not bc obtained which 10 hold them
they were discharged. Tho notorious "Moe" Hol-
Brook among tho number captured, but even she
was allowed 10 so, and tie detect!ves were
parties. Diligent watch kept but 10
no purpose until yesterday morning. The attention
Of the attracted by the continued
ence Of pretty and intelligent looking, though shah
now approached tho show windows OF Macy's and
then entered the store She came and mixed with hc
crowd, ana thoy determined 10 watch her. II was NOS
long before they discovered her putting her hand IN
tho pockets Of ono or two ladies' She was arrested
taken to Police Headquarters where she gave her
name Mamie Howard, Of No. l28 Clinton place. AT
her father was hospital and that her grandfather

she whole matter ms any one could DO. Tho child's
mother sent for, and appeared horror stricken a
iro confession and accusation mndo oy the child.
There was no money found on her whom she was
