commitment made out by the Mayor Of
the city, M English couple, giving the
name Of Williams, were sent to the county
prison at Cape May Court House, to await
trial on charge Of picking pockets, the in.
formation being entered bya Mr.. Barr, OF
Philadelphia. The method Of operating
pursued by the parties, according to Mr..
Barr's testimony before the Mayor, was pc
culiar. On Friday evening last, about
dusk he was walking along the beach
near the Stockton House when he
was met by the woman, who is
petite and pretty, and under the
pretence Of having lost her way she en-
listed the sympathies Of Mr.. Barr, who is Il
gallant bachelor, and got him 10 walk with
her up to Stockton avenue, where she said
she was stopping. They came to pretty
cottage, which aiterward turned out to be
that Of Mr.. George d. McCreary, OF Phila-
delphia, the gate OF which stood invitingy
open, and the woman informed her un-
suspecting escort that she was staying there.
She stopped inside the gate and when
about to take leave of MIR. Barr suddenly
pretended she was seized by aspell ofiaint-
ness, so that that accommodating gentle
man was fain to seize her about the waist
and support her until she regained her
strength.
At this point man appeared and de-
manded roughly to know what they did
there, saying it was private property and
ordering them away. The woman fled in.
stantly, but Mr.. Barr stood his ground,
apologized and explained matters. Then
he lett, when suddenly he was prompted
10 feel for his pocket book. 1t was gone
and along with it SO in greenbacks. He
hurried back, but the man also had disap-
peared. Next day he saw the couple bath
ing together and at once posted OIL and
secured an officer. They were arrested and
taken before the Mayor, when upon being
searched about $50 Of the money was
found upon them. Meantime it leaked
out that another prominent Philadelphian
had been swindled out Of $50 by the
| NOlllhll III llC way VI INV bC-
fore. He was summoned by telegraph and
fully identified both woman and man. At
the request o. the Mayor, J. Granville
Leach, Of Philadelphia, appeared for the
couple and secured a reduction Of their
bail from 81 900 each TO $500 each and also
had them kept out Of the lookup over Sun.
day by placing them under the custody OF
two special officers pending an effort to get
bail. In sthcy were unsuccessful and yes
terday the Mayor committed them for trial,
as stated. 4 well.known Philadelphia ice
man was also approached by the woman
one evening last week, who endeavored to
make rictim OF him, but he was little
too old to be taken in and threatened her
with arrest, upon which she hastily disap.
peared. The party hare all the traits
about them OF English professionals.
