Pickpocket craft hints reveal urban victims and city habits
A fragment from a 19th century page reports an eight-man conalation of pickpockets in Wee Marklbennotha State prison. It describes how the thieves identify likely targets in cities such as omnibus travelers, sidewalk observers, theatre patrons, and street shoppers. The article also cites Ole Bull’s Baltimore arrest over a contracted concert and notes humorous asides on lunar soapmaking and magnetic pole theories, plus local notices about freighting and postage.
