JEWEL It AIDS OX WOMEN. A gang of young men, known as the “Deerfoot-v’ on account of their speed , is believed to liave been responsible for an epidemic of pendantsnatching that lias occurred recently in the theatre district of London. During recent weeks no fewer than twelve such robberies have been committed by “.snateh-and-run'’ thieves. The thefts usually are committed as the theatres are emptying and when the streets are crowded. The latest victim is Mrs ,T. 0. Cock, of Shrewsbury, whose pearl pendant was snatched while she was waiting for a taxi-cab after leaving a theatre in Shnftsbnry Avenue. The pendant was a large circular one with a black pearl, and was attached to a platinum chain.
