Wendell L. Willkie's whirlwind trip through Connecticut yesterday was accompanied by an equally swift program on the part of pick pockets who relieved pocketbooks all along the line and took advan- tage of the confused crowds to pull the biggest "job" here in Waterbury where diamonds worth $500 were stolen from Pierpont's Jewelry store, at 159 Bank street.
 The thieves evidently followed the Willkie motorcade throughout the state and were probably professional artists" the snatch at Pierpont's being worked with speed and dex- terity not usually found in Water bury's amateur" underworld. The "jobs" were virtually considered closed by local police today, the thieves having disappeared into thin air..
 In New Haven several small jobs were reported to police, the most amusing being the snatch" of a Yale undergraduates, hat as he stood listening to MT. Willkie's speech on the New Haven green. The victims name was David Will kie. coincidence which provided him with no immunity at all.
 Here in Waterbury, several pockets were picked at Library Park and a .woman's purse was snatched at the Hotel Elton. A newspaperman, Robert Gamble, national advertising representative of the New York Herald Tribune, was the biggest" victim to fall prey to pickpockets here, his stolen wallet containing $35 and several valuable cards.
 The Pierpont job was worked" at noon by three men who cooperated to the very last detail. One man en- gagged the attention of Mrs. Evelyn P. Nolan, secretary of the company, while two other youths removed a tray of diamond rings valued at $1 500 from a show window. By using a system of conversational "blocks" and an actual bodily "check" the thieves were able to make good their getaway, the last ot the theves checking Mrs. Nolan at the door while his cronies dlsap-
