Probably most policemen could have
answered the question OF the magis-

why he carried about pieces of coal.
Among other coal folklore is the bur-
glars firm faith that the possession
Of a piece confers good luck, and when
searched in the police station it Is
usually found In his pocket. A belief
in coal as Il talisman is said to have
been held by the early Rritons, and it
