THAT BURNED MONEY
susanna HENRY GETS EOuR YEARS
~ THE PEN.
The story Of the Loss Of SS20--liow
II Got IN the wash, Then
in the Fire.

The case Of susanna Henry. the colorod
woman charged by $, i. Presswood with
theft of $3.50. Was heard in the criminal
court yesterday.
This Ia the case where the money was
given out In the laundry and the subse-
auent finding OF some charred paper in
the tlre under tho wash pot, supposed 10
be- the remnants OF bills. led to the theory
that the defendant, to avoid detection had
thrown the money in the fire.
Mr.. Prosswood, who lives on Hardy
street, in the Fiflh ward, told how he had
drawn the money from the bank for the
purpose Of paying the balance due on a
country place and stocking II with machn .
cry lie HAD turned the money over 10 his
wife and On the morning OF June he was
sent for at his place OF work and told that
tho money Was gone.
Mrs. Presywood told how It went. Her
story was pathetic. This money repre-
scented the aggregate Of their earnings dur
ing seven years Of married life. She told
how carefully she had wrapped It ln a
rag and tied It with string, seven 500
bills and six $40 bills. She had carefully
guarded this treasure In tho house for
nine days During the day she would care
fully lock 1t 10 the bureau draw or keep it
in her stocking. AZ uight she would place 1t
under tho pillow OF their bed. ON the
morning of June . she gave out the wash
to susaua Henry. In some unaccountablo
way the roll Of money got mixed In with
the wash She did not miss II until her
suspicious were aroused by Susana telling
her several stories about finding money 10
the wash and about her scrupulous honesty
IN always returning II. She noticed that
susanna acted otherwise susplcIously and
remembering her money she rusAod 10 mud
It and found II gone. She told how she
pleaded with the woman with tears IN her
eyes to return II. She even offered her $50
II she would give II back. She summoned
her neighbors and sent for her husband
In the meantime susanna stoutly proclaimed
her innocence and asked 10 be searched.
she was threatened. inundated. persuaded.
eaIol,d and 10 fact. every sort OF influence
WAS resorted 10. but 10 no avail, the wo-
man stiIl maintained that she had not seen
the money Finally the rag In which the
bills were wrapped and the string with
which II was tied were found in the closet,
saturated with water as though dropped
into the wash tub. Mrs. Presswood remem-
bered having seen susanna so into the place
where the rag and string were found.
When the officers came they stirred the
embers and ashes under the washpot and
there found charred pieces OF paper which
they to1k TO be remnants OF government
or National bank notes. Deputy Sheriff
Bsugh testified yesterday that in one OF
these pieces OF eharred paper no thought
ne recognized the corner OF 800 gold GER
