Pickpockets at a Funeral

New York, 1895

A gang of New York pickpockets attended the Conkling funeral at Huntington Saturday. The pocketbooks of Mrs. Stephen K. Gould and Mrs. Joseph Tillott, each containing over $20, were stolen.


Five More Dogs Poisoned

The dog poisoner still continues his work at Sag Harbor. Friday morning five more dogs were found dead on the premises of their owners.
