The Notorious Pickpocket Again Turns
Up.
Some months ago. says the Los Angeles
Times, there was considerable talk about
mysterious woman in black" who gen.
orally put in an appearance at public gath
ings, and whose appearance was always
followed by the disappearance of pocket
books, articles of wearing apparel, etc.
The woman was always dressed very
plainly in black. was middle-aged and
there was nothing about her to indicate
that she was not respectable woman IN
the middle walks OF life. The matter was
finally brought to the attention of the Po-
lice Department, and detectives were de-
tailed to look up the woman and find out
who and what she was. An investigation
followed, and it was aSceriained that the
woman went by the name of Mrs. Carey.
and that she had rooms on Main and Spring
streets. 1t was further ascertained that the
woman was an expert pickpocket, but so
cleverly had she worked that it was i'm
possible to make case against her. She
was, however, notified that she would have
TO leave the city, and she dropped out of
notice.
Friday afternoon, however, Detective
Wallin caught her at the Pavilion. She
was rather tlesbier than formerly, and had
decidedly prosperous look. She wore
black jersey and dark colored skirt with a
uafk nat, anu WAS GOT up as q WOrklnB-WO-

ing at the time, but Wallin took her in charge
and carried her to the station where the
officers were given a look at her and
after being booked on Suspicion" was
allowed to 90, being warned that if she was
caught on the streets again she would be
locked up. Mrs. Carey appeared very crest
fallen at being detected, and as she left
the station remarked, this winds up my
