For half-hour during the busiest part of
the afternoon the Golden Rule Bazaar was
kept in state of turmoil yesterday, to frus-
trate the workings OF and apprehend cou-
PIE of pickpockets. Several ladies missed
their portemonnaies at about the same time,
and one of these was Mrs. S. Hall, who
lives at 72455 Stevenson street. After dis
covering the loss of her purse she mingled
with the other customers and watched.
1t was not long before her vigilance was
rewarded by seeing a small, heayy-set young
man insert his hand into a lady's pocket
She was about TO give the alarm when a
cash boy rushed up and informed her that
the young man, pointing to the one she had
lust caught picking a pocket. had tried to
take something from her. This threw Mrs.
Hall and her sister into high state of ner-
yOus excitement, but Mrs. Hall had the
presence of mind to direct gentlemans
attention to the thief, with the request that
he be arrested.
By this time the pickpocket had Joined
his pal, and both were walking out together.
Mrs. Hall Joined in the chase, and when the
two saw how they were pursued one broke
away into run and escaped. The other
who was the one caught operating started
to run, but was stopped by Officer John f.
Green. At the Southern Police Station he
gave the name oil Joseph Levy" but later
acknowledged it to be an alias and that his
true name is Frank Mortola, son of an
