TRAVELLERS UGLY AS PICKPOCKET CRIES INNOCENCE Alleged Thief Captured By Passenger About to Leave
 Train Here. SAYS HE'S BARBER;
 HELD UNDER $2, 2,5oo Protiting By Experience, Victim Says He Caught
 Prisoner Red Handed.

The Green Mountain Express, z1eav- ing New York at 8 o'clock and ar irving at Bridgeport at 9:3s were thrown into wild turmoil today when Harry Davis, giving his address as 1 g Rast 144th street, New York, where he says he plies the trade of barber. was caught red-handed, it is alleged, in the act of stealing the pocketbook of Charles Ritter, a janitor of New York who had $50 with which to buy supplies from a local factory.
 Ritter. who makes frequent. trips to this city, and who was robbed in a similar manner about two weeks ago. as the result of wholesale on slaught upon New Haven trains by New York pfckp pockets, sat in one of the coaches few seats ahead of Davis. As the train swung around the curve at Railroad avenue and Main street Ritter arose and felt to see that his pocketbook was safe. As he moved up the aisle Davis was be- hind him.
 When the aisle became crowded as the train came into the local sta ton, Ritter felt the pressure and suddenly remembering that he had lost some money in the same way be- fore put his hand to his hip pocket just in time to grab the wrist of Da- wis as he extracted the pocketbook. Ritter cried that he had been robbed and clung to the struggling Davis The crowd joined in the apprehension of Davis who was roughly handled and dragged to the station platform. Davis asked that his captor release him as he had not lost anything and in this he was backed by someone in the crowd who Is believed by the local police to have been a confed- crate. Station Policeman Ca1npana. came up on the run and the crowd angrd1y demanded that Davis be ar rested
 At police headquarters his pedigree was taken and in city court his case was continued until April ' under bond Of $2,500. When being p11oto- grapf1ed by Sergeant aaux in charge of the local BertiIlon system, Davis admitted that he had been through a similar process in New York, admit ting that he had been held there as a suspicious person.
 Superintendent Birmingham made no secret of his elation at the capture Of Davis. It became known with Shis arrest that there have been nu- merous instances of pocket-picking on the trains running into Bridgeport, especially among the weekend trav- elers. One of the most recent of lawyer, who came here on legal bIsi- ness sand discovered shortly after alighting from the train that his wallet containing a sum said to ap- proumate $100. was gone.
