Bryon Clement, q darkey about 1S years

it seems, went into q sort of wholesale
stealing business. From R. S. Hills store
he stole pair of shoes. He then visited
A. G. Means clothing store, and carried
off coat and vest and an overcoat. .Tc
complete the suit, he visited M
schwartzberg's store and stole pair o
pants. Policeman Mckinney got Oh
track of the rogue and in a short time had
him confined in the station house. The
darkey confessed to the stealing and told
where the goods were, which were recov
cred. Mayor Tribble sentenced the negro
to pay fine of $40, or thirty days on the
streets. He chose the latter, and wher
he will have served his time, he will &c
to Jail to await bis trial in the Circuit
Court.
