Tim Sullivan picked the pockets of a gentleman and lady of a pocket-book
and purse. Tim's fancy-girl stood near him and screened him from
observation. Johnny Miller, who was to have a share of the plunder,
called out to him: "Hand over the stolen property--a detective is
observing your manoeuvres." Sullivan ran immediately to his house, when
he found Johnny Doyle had provided something to eat, by stealing some
bacon from a store-door. Doyle committed a burglary last night, and
disposed of the property plundered. He told Sullivan that Bill had
hustled a person, and obtained a watch, and also robbed a well-dressed
gentleman of a diamond ring. The watch he sent to have the works taken
out and put into another case, or the maker's name erased and another
inserted; the ring realized him fifty-five dollars.
