that Of a negro who would steal moth.
inf but ladders and wheelbarrows.

On one occasion TO my certain knowl-
edge. he dumped Il valuable set of
tools out of wheelburrow just to get
the barrow. The tools were leN ly-
ing in the street by heap Of rubbish.
The tools were worth anywhere from
S25 10 $50 The wlieclbarrow was
worth probably $1.25 to $50 On
other occasions he took ladders when
lie might have taken other things Of
more value. In fact. he would steal
nothing but whcclbarrOws and lad
lers.
"Why should he take these things?
or what use were they to him? Did
he profit by his pilfcring I do not
know. I only know the facts are that
way. and the negro was otherwise an
honest negro. Honestly, I believe he
would have refused to steal ham or
watermelon. But when It came to
wheelbarrows and ladders he simply
could not resist the temptation to take
them. 1t was the strongest case Of
speclalisn In thievery that ever came
under my observation"
