for some information to be given theI
public concerning an arrest made oni

day pIekpocket was arrested by eiti-
zens at the corner of Eighth andi
Wabasha streets. The thief was in
the act OF robbing lady passenger
on one OF the interurban cars. A NUM-
Der Of passengers saw the crime beipgi
committed, and captured the pick
packet. An immense crowd gatheredi
and the fellow, after an attempt had3
been made by his friends to take himl
away. was turned over to Capt. LoweIE
and taken in the patrol wagon. I. with
several others who saw the attemptedi
robbery and arrest, visited the poIica
court the next day, but the pickpocket
was not there. Was he released. or what
became OF him? EYE WITNESS. i
A member of the GLOBE detective
bnreau investigated the above COM
plant yesterday and ascertained the
following facts relating to the case:
The central police station wagon was
called to the corner of Seventh and
Wabasha streets at O'Clock on tha
evening Of June Z, and returned to thej
station at 7:05 with one prisoner. The
prisoner gave the name OF F. E. Hub.
bert, which was duly entered on
the tab at the station. Opposite
his name was written '.Pickpocket.
arrested by Capt. Lowell" and he was
given Cell II in the cell room. Shortly
after O'Clock, two hours after the ar
rest. Chief of Detectives McGinn drove
to the station in hack, accompanied by,
two friends of the thief. McGinn left
Hubbert's friends in the vehicle and
ordered the prisoner brought down to-
Capt. Schweitzer's Office. consulta-i
ton Of several moments followed, after
which MeGinn ordered the name
erased from the tab, and took the
prisoner away with him in a hack.
Just who the influential pickpocket
was that he or his friends could secure
his release has not been definitely ascer-
tanned at the present writing, but it is
reported he was one of gang of noted
English pickpockets who worked the
crowds during the Great Northern cele-
bration. An effort was made last night
to see Chief of Detectives McGinn and
Capt. Lowell in relation to the matter.
and obtain from them a statement as to,

The work of the GLOBE Detective
Bureau Is calling the attention of tbe
public to the manner in which the de-
tective department ignored for one con-
Slderatlon or another the gangs Of
con" and ''sure thing" men who have
made st. Paul their stamping grounG,s
has had some perceptible effect. IN
stead OF being seen in gangs of three
and i've plying their calling on the;
principal street corners the ''grafters,n'I
are keeping very quiet. Members
OF the detective force who have,
indignantly denied in public that
they had any acquaintance with the
swlndjers yesterday personally notifiedf
about twenty of the confidence mem
that if they were caught "steeringI
suckers they would be arrested. Somei
OF the ''sure thing" operators laughed
when this information was impaired to-
them, but they were informed that the
order was from headquarters" and
would have TO be obeyed. AS
result the streets in the business part
OF the city and around the union depot
were practically deserted by the "steer.i
ers" yesterday. One stranger was taken
to saloon and turned" for $50. but
as soon as he had been relieved of his
money another of the gang took him iyri
charge and sent him out of town, being
eonsiderate enough of his own freedoml
to pay for ticket for the sucker" as
he called him.
The work of the GLOBE detective bu-
Teau is useful and effective.
