No trace Of the man who picked the

urday. and it is a question in the minds
OF some officials Of the Pennsylvania

lost his roll while getting ON the train
or whether his pocket was picked
somewhere else by thieves who had
seen him expose his money and who
had followed him for the purpose Of
robbery.
There is no question Of doubt in the
minds of the officers Of the Pennsyl-

convinced that the man detained Tor a
