ROBBERY ALLEGED.
Man Thinks His Pocket Was Picked at
St Asaph's

Complaint was made to the police Satur-
day night of a robbery committed at st.
-Asanhs pool room. where so many Wash
ington people are in the habit of wagering
money on horse races. E. M. Mann of
1405 w street made the complaint He
had been fortunate enough not to give all
his money to the people behind the coun-
ter, but was unfortunate enough to have
somebody pick his pocket of $780,
1t is probable that the sight of so big a
roll of bills made the pckpocket nervous
and caused him to drop a $50 bill This
bill Mr.. Mann picked up before he knew
he had been robbed, and thought it had
been dropped by some other person AS
the robbery was committed in Virginia the
local police could not hold out much en-
couragement to the loser.
