Charged with Larceny from the Person.


John King, about eighteen years of age,
who gives his residence as 17s Main street,
Lewiston, where his mother keeps a
boarding house, came, to Portland last
Thursday. Joseph Craig, the plasterer,
has shop at No. 10 Cotton street, and
has his residence at Cape Elizabeth,
where he is constable. He has son
Joseph A. Craig. The son told his father
that he saw King takesa sum of money
out of the pockets of a man named
Thomas Ring, a laborer. Mr.. Craig
caught on to King and carried him to the
police station Eight dollars and forty
two cents were found on his person. King
said this money was given him by Ring
and this Ring denies. After bringing
King in, Mr.. Craig got Mr.. Ring and
brought him in. Mr.. Craig deserves
great credit for his prompt action.

price if you'll authorize somebody to bring
me the drink"
