AN ARMY OF THIEVES EXPECTED.
To q STAR reporter Inspector Hollinberger
said he expected a large army Of thieves here
during the inauguration, as such celebrations
seldom fail to attract the best of the light
fingered gentry. While tine inspector does not
expect to prevent all of them from operating.
he is confident that the best of them will 'fiud
themselves behind the bars before they have
been here very long. He has selected the best
detectives from other cities, and is confident
that they will work to the best advantage and
will not stand in with or protect certain thieves,
as was suspected of certain officers on former
celebration of this kind.
At the Baltimore and Ohio depot STAR re-
porter met Officer Horne. who is stationed there
to stop as many crooks as possible and lock
them up before they even get q chance to see
the decorations.
TWO ARRESTS ALREADY.
The officer has already made two arrests. One
Of his victims was James alias "Shanty" Con-
ners, an alleged dangerous CROOK who re-
turned here from the Albany penitentiary only
few days ago. He went there for taking a
became abusive when placed under arrest and
wanted to fight. He did not fight, however,
and now he is resting quietly behind the bars,
where he is likely to remain until next week.
Another man arrested by Officer Horne gave
his name as Edward Kane. He is Canadian
was here for no good purpose. Kane said he
had employment at Ivy City and upon a
promise to remain there until the crowd leaves
the city he was released.
TWO CLASSES OF CROOKS.
In answer to question asked bv STAR re-
porter Officer Horne said that there were two
classes of ''crooks" who are likely to come here
to work the crowd. One class he designated as
Mol BuzZers," as that is the name by which
they are known to the profession.
They are expected to dress well and present
gentlemanly appearance" said the officer.
1.-TWO Of them generally work together. The
larger one of the two IS supposed to do the push
ing and his companion does the stealing. These
people do most of their work in street cars and
their victims are invariably ladies. One of them
will make funny or pleasant remark in order
to attract the attention of tine ladies. and while
their attention is attrac ted his panion gets
| a pocket book and leaves.
THESE TRAVEL IN MODS.
"Then there is a class Of thieves known as
Guns" the officer added. "Ihey travel in
'mobs' Of from three to six and have members
who are known as the PUSH Stall and Dip.
The Push is generally the largest man in the
mob and when he does the pushing the Dip
takes the pocket book or watch and passes it to
| the Stall. who gets out of sight. In case
'squear is made the thief is willing to be
searched. but Of course he has nothing on him,
for his booty has been sent off in safety
When the Police Court convened this morn.
| ing there were several persons brought before
Judge Kimball for yagraucv Most of them
were strangers in the city and they sighted a
willingness to depart, but in most cases the
judge remarked: You Will remain here until
after inauguration: fifteen days"
The judge gave notice that all persons found
here under suspicious circumstances would be
held until after the Inauguration.
