ARRESTED FOR THEFT.
During the latter part of last week
2. NJ. Hickman and E, Spicer, while
loading furniture on Crocker street,
were arrested on the charge of taking
1857 from the house. Mrs. Graves, the
owner OF the goods. had left the money
between the mattresses of bed, and
had gone to the rear of the house,
leaving the men working in the room.
Soon, however, che remembered the
money, and returned to get 1T, but the
mattresses had been removed. and the
sum was missing. Search was made,
in the discovery of the roll of
bills in Hickman's lunch pail. This
singular, since he had not
been outside of the house, but Spicer
denied having seen the money also.
Both men were imprisoned. but Hlck-
man was later acquitted OF the charge
ana dismissed. Spicer is still held to
answer. His former good reputation
and the manner in which he has acted
since arrested caused many to believe
hat he is also innocent. In support OF
ibis it was shown that the lineman who
ound the money acted in such manner
Is to draw suspicion to himself. The
failed to iasten the guilt
lpon him though.
