' 5. Municipal corporations, § 864*—when evidence insufficient to support verdict. On a prosecution charging one known to be a pickpocket with lounging in and prowling and loitering about a car and public place without being able to give a reasonable excuse in violation of section 2012 of Chicago Code of 1911, evidence examined and held insufficient to support a verdict against defendant.
