name is Mary, was very proud of them

thCm, but kept them in her trunk.
The mother and a woman 10y the name
Of Hawkins stole the shoes and sold them.
Then they got out of town and Lillian
went TO work in the family OF Constable

crossed the nvcr and walked into the
Georgetown police station, where she
gave herself up. This morning before

Up to this morning Henry Dorsey and
