NEED POCKET
PICKING LAW

The fact that Hing Poon was found
guilty of larceny in the second degree
instead of being declared a pick
pocket may move the next legisla-
ture to pass a law covering the latter
offense. Poon was found guilty yes
terday morning of taking money from
the pocket of a detective who was
standing outside of the Park theater
on Saturday night, but there is no
law covering the crime of pocket
picking.
That Poon has peen carrying on
his trade for some time is the belief
of the police who have received a
number of reports since his arrest on
Saturday.
