Eddie's technique was to jostle a vic- tim to a confederate who would then slip the man's wallet out of his back pocket while Eddie was stammering an apology to the confused dupe. With- in a week the incipient crimewave came to an end when Slippery Eddie in- advertently chose the chief of police for his victim. Although Eddie loathes Sing Sing, it's his permanent address now.
