notice OF him. because he appeared to be
well decorated with jewelry. He had
heavy finger rings, a massive raw gold
watch chain and earrings OF a curious
pattern. was thinking how he would

Just then a young man about six yards
distant gave shout and ran toward the
man with the wallet and jeweiry. The lat

about two seconds. In that time I saw the
young man run into him. knock him down
by the force OF the collision and race to-

the wallet.

He ran into me. lodged a swing I made
at him and was across the street In an
lncouceivably short time. I started after
him and saw him run into a third man.
The third man tried 10 hold hin-but he
might have as well tried to catch a bunch

and up an alley in two minutes after be

that he had skinned the first mans m
