Work on Trolley Cars.

The Riverside electric line has been a
favorlte and wide field for operation,
and many have been the victims of the
gang. Yesterday John Haslan, who
runs the cigar and news stand in the
Banigan building corridor, was touched
for $G5 He had the money in an old
fashioned wallet tucked into his hip
pocket and his vest was pulled down
over the wallet. Mr.. Haslan had been
treatment there, and cle loss is there
fore one which he feels keenly.
When he got on the car near River
side a pickpocket, who had been work
ing upon another man, but not success
fully, for the reason that the proposed
victim was too restless, at once gave
Mr. Haslan his entire attention, and in
few seconds the thief had the wallet
and had stepped off the car.
When the thief was safely away an
other passenger. who had been a wit
ness of the attempt to operate on the
first victim, and OF the larceny from
Mr. Haslan, suggested that perhaps
somebody's pocket had been picked and
then the real fact was disclosed when Il
was too late TO put chase after the
thief
Another part OF the gang operated at
Roger Williams Park. last night. The
concert drew a large crowd. one
running into the thousands. and the po-
lice detail was three men. one OF these
watched the merry go round TO see that
the WOODEN horses don't run away, and
the other two watched something else
equally as harmless
But up at the Elmwood avenue side
of the park, where there was something
worth somebody's attention, the crooks
held full and uninterrupted sway.

and her cries of help, she was dragged
into the doorway of the Metcaif build

SHOT THE MAN WHO
WRECKED HIS HOME
JOSEPH CLARK ON TRIAL FOR
MURDER.
Elements of Self Defense and Tenn
porary Insanity VIII Enter
Into the Defense of
the Prisoner.

The trial Of Joseph Clark for the killing
of Joseph p. Gross, which occurred No
Vember 80, 1893, in front of the fire engine
house on Stockton street, between Pa
citic and Broadway, is progressing
rapidly in Judge Dunnes court The
trial promises interesting developments.
Clark, the defendant, claims that Gross
had been intimate with his wife, and, in
fact, Mrs. Clark left her husband about
three months before the shooting, went
to live away from him and took, Gross
into her home as a boarder. Clark says
that the dead man broke up his home
through questionable means and the loss
of his wife turned his mind and culmi-
mated in his arrest for murder. Although
the defendant does not deny that he de-
nberately killed Gross, a certain element
of self-defenSe will enter into the case as
met just before the killing Gross made
threatening movement and then a bull
let from Clark's revolver ended his life.

appeal for Durrant before the United

After the jury was impaneled yesterday
George w. Russell was placed upon the
stand to explain the chart he had drawn
of the engine-hOuse, where the killing
took place Thomas J. Coogan, a fireman,
was next sworn. He proved reluctant
witness. at least when it came to cross
examination and caused heated words
between the court and counsel for the
defense. He admitted having been to
Mrs. Clark's home with the dead man
and had been told by the deceased that
he boarded with the defendants wife
Dr. Campbell Ford was called TO testify
