DRAWING THE NET.
The Pickpockets Have Been Identified
by Several People.


Lewis Bryant alias George Edwards of
Manchester, N. H., or Portsmouth, N.
H., one of the three men who were bound
over to the Superior court In September
for picking pockets at the Union station
Tuesday, WAS the one Officer e. II. Smith
arrested at.Fort Allen Park on July 4. 1898,
on suspicion. He gave his name at that
time as George Edwards of Portsmouth.
N. H.
This man was photographed at the time
in two positions. He Was one of crowd
who attempted to pick an old mans
pocket on u Congress street car.
Edward Il. Hodge of Deering called at
the police station yesterday morning. and
stated that he was at the Union station
Tuesday morning, having just alighted
from train, when he heard woman on
the Car platform cry out that her pocket
book was stolen, and saw man Of medi-
um height. dressed in a dark suit, leap
from the train with pocketbook in his
hand, crawl under nearby train and
run up d street. He called TO an officer
and followed in pursuit. The man soon
turned in between two houses and disap.
pcared, as he thought, in a shed. Not
caring to risk an encounter single
handed, he waited for an officer to come
and it was than disoovsted that ths man
had climbed fence and disappeared.
He left the city later in The day and did
not know until Thursday night that any
piokpockets had been arrests |. He got
only rear view of the man. but his dss-
cription is said to point to Dawson.
