the petty larceny of pair of boots val
t18d ut $40 80, four pair of shoes valued
ut $f4, and a showcase valued at $40, the
property of Mr.. Fred. Kemper, of Front
street. The real value OF the property
was sufficient to make it case of grand
larceny, but the Prosecuting Attorney
preferred to accept Sheridan's plea
0f guilty OF petty larceny, thus
bringing the case within the juris-
diction Of the Court. Mr.. Kemper testi-
fed that he missed the show case hang
ing outside of his place of business on
Front street. The prisoner made clean
breast OF having, in company Of two
