means of a hook. The hook had been
without support.
PLAYING A PICKPOCKET.-D Dep

pickpocket on the string yesterday,
but it is not known yet if he landed
him. The officer was standing in
dense crowd on West Washington
street when he felt a hand in his
pocket. He kept still and let the fellow
pursue his investigation. He could
have nabbed him, but as there
was nothing in the pocket he
knew it was impossible for him
to consummate a crime amount
ing to felony. The officer,
therefore, determined to keep an eye
on the pickpocket and infest him until
he touched somebody who had some
thing. At a late hour last night the
deputy constable had not reported the
result of his surveillance.
