GIST, HELLMAN, INSLEY, MADISON "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Thursday, March 23, 1911 HAND IN ANOTHER'S POCKET; APOLOGIZES. Excusing himself for having his hands in the pockets of Dr. W. L. GIST, chief surgeon at the Emergency hospital, a pickpocket and his accomplice got off a crowded Twelfth street car at Twelfth and Harrison streets at 6 o'clock last night and escaped. Dr. GIST says the two men tried to pick his pocket at McGee street and he grabbed the hand of one of them. Three robberies on street cars by pickpockets between 5 and 6 o'clock last night were reported to the police. All of the "dips" escaped. W. R. MADISON, 138 Linwood avenue, a publisher with an office at 220 Shukert building, was robbed of a pocketbook containing $10 at 5 o'clock on a Rockhill car on Grand avenue, between Tenth and Twelfth streets. He thinks three men jostled him. A purse containing $38 was taken out of the hip pocket of Benjamin HELLMAN, 1714 Prospect, on an Indiana avenue car on Nineteenth street between Campbell and Charlotte streets about 5:30 p.m. Hamlin INSLEY, a carpenter, 3902 East Fourteenth street, got on an eastbound Twelfth street car at Twelfth street and Grand avenue at 5:20 o'clock. When he reached home he found that his pocketbook and $5 had been taken from his hip pocket. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)
