A PURSE sNAroHER CAUGHT.
He Seizes a Pocketbook From q
Lady's Hand on Bull Street.

One bold pocketbook snatcher was
caught redhanded last night. AS Miss
Emma Sutcliffe who resides at sO15
South Broad street, was walking on Bull
street near Strong's drug store, at about
7:45 o'clock, some one seized hold of her
and grabbed her pocketbook She
shouted for help, but the thief had the
purse and made off. There were a number
of people in the street, several of whom
saw the act committed.
The thief was pursued down Bull street
by j. w. Garrity, d. G. Parrish, /. G..
Schwarzbaum and others. He distanced
them, however, and turned off Bull street
into York going west. The crowd, which
had increased in numbers, pursued up
York street Policeman G.. l.. Smith was
coming down the street and the thief ran
squarely into his arms. Policeman Smith
took his prisoner, followed by the crowd,
TO the box at Liberty and Drayton streets,
where he sent in a call for the patrol
wagon.
The pocketbook was found on York
street, where it had been thrown by the
thief in his fight. The money in it was
gone.
The robbery caused great excitement.
The streets We're filled with people and q
large crowd gathered around the officer
and his prisoner. 1t was very evident
that they were anxious to get hold of the
negro, and there were threats of lynch
ing. The crowd followed TO the barracks,
and filled the sergeant's office while the
charge was being entered.
The thief gave his name as Prince AL
bert. He is a tall, dark, young negro.
and answers very well the descriptions
which have been given by the victims of
previous cases of pocketbook -snatching.
1t is very likely, that this is not the first
pocketbOok Albert has secured in this
manner. He is likely TO get as long a
term on the gang as the law allows.

EVERY NIGHT A ROBBERY.
The Southern Part of the City a
Regular Robbsrs' Paradise.

1ne SouCnern Fart OF the City a
Regular Robbers' Paradise.
The people of the southern section Of
the city are again in a state of alarm over
the burglaries. For the last two weeks.
up to few nights ago there has been
let up in the number of robberies,
although IN that time number of houses
were entered. Within the last week.
however, they have begun again and
almost nightly robberies of the boldest
character are reported.
A few weeks ago Duffy and New Hous-
ton streets were the principal scene of
operation. Now it is Gwinnett street.
Five houses on that street have been
robbed or robberies have been attempted
within the last few nights. Henry and
FIRST streets have suffered too. With all
the robberies not single arrest has been
made in that section of the city, even of
a suspect.
Those families do not have the pro-
lection OF male members have, in some in
stances, hired watchmen to stay on the
premises. With the thousands OF dollars
IN money and other property that have
been plundered from the peoples houses
in what should be thoroughly protected
part of the city, there has been, so far as
stopping the outlawry, nothing done.
The mayor announced some time ago
not capture the robbers he would
see that detectives were brought here who
could capture them Since that time
there have been more than dozen rob-
berries and no arrests have been made
that in any, way connected the party with
the crime. A negro was arrested coming
out of yard in the Old Fort under sus-
picious circumstances and the conclusion
was drawn that he knew something about
the burglaries in the southern section of
the city, but that is all.
The people who pay for the same police
protection that taxpayers in The more
northern part Of the city have, are stirred
up over the matter. The mounted police
patrol is the only show of protection that
the people have besides private watch
men who have, for long tune, been en-
ployed to watch flower gardens and pre-
vent their being plundered. The robber-
les have been so frequent that people go to
bed wondering whether they will find
their houses ranSacked in the morning.
In the hot weather they are compelled to
shut and bolt their windows to keep out
burglars, who seem to have everything
their own way, in so far as they are not
mOlested
