peared before Justice Walker yesterday
to answer to the charge of grand
larceny. He had stolen a valise contain
ing clothing and had sold before being ar
rested a pair of pants worth at least s. for
SO cents. There appeared to be some
doubt as to the prospects of sustaining the
charge as made since the property stolen
was hardly worth 500 This charge was
then withdrawn and one of petty larceny
substituted. To this he pleaded guilty,
was fined $40 and costs, and in default of
was sent to the county jail
Charles Anderson, twelve year-old boy, |
was also brought before Justice Walker
The boy had stolen bride from Col |
Lewis stable, and being captured by the |
hostler was handed over to the authority. |
His honor refused to act upon the case I'M |
til he had seen the boys mother and Col |
Lewis. The case was afterwards adjusted |
and young Anderson will most likely be |
sent to the reform school.
That much continued case, State VS.. |
Henry Wolff, was called again yesterday. |
The prosecuting witness was sick and but |
one of the jury appeared, so the case was |
again continued until next Monday.
