Newport. We average a theft here |
every week. |. G. Floyde, boarding |
at l.. P. Hammond's, where the other
thefts we have heretofore mentioned
were perpetrated, was robbed on last
Thursday night of some over twenty
dollars by his fellow boarder and bed
fellow. Floyde kept his money be-
tween the two bed ticks, laying upon
it, and the thief reached it and worked
the wallet out, took part OF the mon
ey and then returned the wallet to the
place he took it from without awaken
ing Floyde. From some circumstan-
ces which have happened of late, such
as the finding of the watch chain in
the pond, which with a watch was tax
en- from Erastus Collision, 1--WE stated
last week that the watch was taken
from French, which was an error the
boys had strong suspicious as to who
the guilty one might be, and on Friday
Floyde and sheriff Boswell confronted
him, charging him with the last theft.
He stoutly denied it, but said he would
pay it back to avoid trouble, &c, tho
an hour or two later he recalled his
promise to return the money, and told
Floyd to 60 ahead and prosecute
While all hands had no doubt as to
his guilt the proof was still too slim
to convict. On Saturday afternoon
however he was persuaded to own up
on promise of fair treatment, &C.,
and ne returned the stolen money and
watch to the boys. We suppress the
name of the thief in the hope that he
| has committed his last crime, and we
would not give his name to the public
when there is a fair hope that he will
do better. Let him remember that
money obtained by dishOnorable means
never proves anything but plague to
the possessor, while money honestly
earned is a source Of true pleasure.
"Thou shalt not steal" is the com.
mand of God, and it is we'll to heed
it.
