cusad Of Larceny From
the Person.

Mary Lewis Is comely negro girl.
She dresses well. has an attractive face
and figure. and this has all combined to
make her game an easy one.
She hasn't actually worked the "cold
hands" racket. but she has made her
trick fully as profitable. as the police now
believe from numerous complaints that
have reached them from men whose
pockets have been rihed.
Last evening she picked an acquaint-
ance with Camille Lawrier, hostler, en-
ployed at a Fenner street stable.
While she coyly hung upon his arm and
whispered soft things into his ear. she
unstrapped and removed his homemade
money belt.
Then>she suddenly had important bust
ness elsewhere and left Lawrier's COM
spAny.
Lawrier missed his belt and made q
quick and loud "holler."
Patrolman J. T. Mcguire was nearby
and held up the fieeting girl
Name was a cool one!
She proposed that IL officer Mcguire
would let her go free she would divide
the spoils with him.
Mcguire was foxy and first wanted to
know where the belt was and Mamie.
she had slyly dropped IL in a gutter near
by.
The officer. retaining his prisoner. fish
ed for and got the belt. Then Name took
a ride TO the Central police station.
Today she pleaded not guilty 10 the
charge OF larceny from the person and
was held in $500 for trial next Friday.
