PiCkooCket. Trust
Exists, Says judge
By United Press.

BY United Press
Chicago, Oct 1.-THE city council
committee on crime, delying into the
causes for the existence of bands OF
pickpockets, ran squarely up against
the charge today that 'pickpocket' S
trust" is operating with thee onniv-
ance of the police. Municipal Judge
w N. Gimmill said that such condi-
tion has existed for years in Chicago
and Municipal Judge John r. Newcom-
or, supported the charge made by
Gemmill.
There are between 500 and 500
known pickpockets in Chicago" said
Judge Gemmill. -Four lawyers defend
them all. They are regularly hired by
the organization of pickpcckets and
three bondsmen seem to sign all the
bends for pickpockets arrested.
Every crook who plays the game
square can get a bondsman without
difficulty, but that's only the begin
ming of the work of the pickpocket's S
trust. Complaining witnesses often
change their testimony; and in one
case a woman was even induced to re-
place a stolen pocketbook in her hus-
bands coat to save pickpocket from
conviction.

the system. They are paid by the or.
