CHARGED WITH PICKING POCKETS
William Geary, a former member of the
chain-gaug, and more recently an in
mate of the work. house, was arrested
at an early hour this morning on suspi-
cion of having stolen about 5000 from
the person of Dan Henry while the
latter was asleep on lounge in room
back of his saloon. Geary, according
to the evidence, was the only one in
the room after Mr.. Henry fell asleep,
and suspicion pointing to him the police
started after him. This morning when
arrested he was searched but only %
cents was found on him. Later, how
ever, during another search, conducted
by Lieutenant Smith, ten-dollar bill
was drawn from the lining of his hat.
Geary, upon being placed in the deck,
was asked where he obtained the bill.
He replied that a fellow-prisoner, who
had been released few minutes pre-
yiously, had given it to him. The man
was brought back, but he denied Gea-
rvs statement emphatieally. The &C.
cused then said he did not obtain the
money from the man. but he took care
not to tell the court where he did get
it. Geary was sent on to the grand
jury. Later he was taken into room
and another search was Instituted. This
time fve.dollar bill was pulled out
from under his collar. 1t is probable he
has hidden most of the money some
where.
P. S.-This afternoon Lieutenant
Smith recovered 500 more of the
money at Geary's house.

SENT TO THE CHAIN GANG.-For
several years this city and neighborhood
has been infested with band of thieves,
members OF which have often been ar
rested, but as no direct evidence could
be obtained against them they have SO
far been allowed to go free. Cars have
been robbed, houses rifed, drunken
men heeced and other crimes committed
until it has become necessary to take
heroic measures in order to afford pro-
lection to the community. Those be-
lieved to be the authors of the offenses
alluded to are drones in the hive of ma
ture seldom, if ever, engaging in honest
work, and they have from time to time
been warned by the authorities that
unless they betake themselves to some
honest employment they will be ar
rested aud dealt with under the pro-
visions of the vagrant act. The depots
seem to be the ouarries operated mostly
by these thieves, and on Friday night,
while the police were near the Wash
ington and Ohio yard on the lookout
for them an individual with an unsavory
record, known as James Tor Jeemsey)
Sullivan, was seen by Officer Davis
prowling about the premises looking
into windows and acting suspiciously.
1t was then sometime past midnight
and the officer approached Sullivan and
ordered him away from the depot, tell
ing him at the same time that should
he find him prowling about the place
again he would put him under arrest.
The gang, it seems, then changed their
base of operations to Union street, and
about one o'clock one morning recently
Sullivan and some of his pals We're
seen on the Citizens Bank corner. Be-
tween one and two o'clock this morn
ing Officers Davis and Howson dis
covered that the gang was out with
wagon which some OF them were pull
ing through the streets, and later, up
on taking position near the w. & o.
depot, they saw Sullivan make his ap-
pearance and perform some suspicious
acts. The officers pounced upon him
and took him to the station house. At
the trial this morning Lieutenant Smith
testified to the character Of the prisoner,
charging him with being a thief and
member of gang which he and the
other officers were determined to break
up. The Mayor disposed of Sullivan
under the provisions of the warrant
law recently passed by the City Coun-
Gil and sent him to the chain gang for
ninety days, remarking at the time that
he had issued orders for the arrest If
all suspicious characters found prow|-
ing around the city at late hours, and
would place them on the chain gang,
the authorities being determined either
to break up this gang of thieves or
make it too hot for them to stay around
this neighborhood.
