TURN HONEST MEN
Unable to Earn Living by Crime
They Seek and Find
Work
By associated Press

New York Dec. 4.-More than 100
pickpockets unable to make a living
by following their vocation, have
turned temporarily honest within the
past two months and have sought
work. according to records made pub
lie to-day by the Department of Cor
rection.
"Old-time pickpockets tell u.s. said
Deputy Commissioner Lewis, that by
rifling fifty or sixty pockets a day
they can make only $15 or so a week.
They used to be able to retire for
month after picking half a dozen
pickets. Folks haven't been carrying
money in their clothes recently.
Some of the pickpockets have
turned gunmen. This may account
in part for the so-called crime wave.
If the situation continues all the pick
pockets in the city probably will go
out of business"
