That Was the Haul Made by the Detectives
Some Of Their Victims.
Saturday and Yesterday the detectives. under
the supervision Of Inspector Hollinberger,
were kept busy looking after and bringing in
the crooks and trying to prevent robberiss -
far as possible. This morning Inspector
Hollinberger praised the men for their services
and to them, he thought. was due the credit Of
making the celebration not good one for the
crooks.
While many robberies were reported the
number was much smaller than at any previous
celebration of the kind. and the character Of
many Of the thefts made it evident that they
were committed by other than professional
men. The fact that many Of the persons ar
rested were intoxicated causes the police to be-
lieve that the bum" thieves who rob DRINKS
did most of the grating
There were two house jobs, but the property
taken did not amount to very much. The en-
tire amount of stolen articles reported up to
this morning did not exceed 81 600 in value.
While there were numerous robberies OF lntoxi-
Gated persons, several of the victims were
caught in crowds and robbed in . manner in
which professional men operate, and in this
way several watches aud chains were secured.
F1FTY-THREE CROOKS.
There were fifty three alleged crooks locked
up before today and they filed the cells and
witness rooms Of two police stations. This
morning the inspector and detectives selected
some of the best of the crooks from the num-
Der, about twenty-five. and they were measured
and photographed. Their pictures will adorn
the rogues' gal cry in the future and copies Of
them will be furnished other departments.
After being photographed they were either
sent out Of the city or returned to the station,
and those against whom cases are had will be
held for trial.
Some of the robberies committed by them
took place on the railroad trains out of this
jurisdiction, but the officers here received the
complaints and are endeavoring to recover the
property.
