James WOrtham, cOlOred, was
tried in the Recorder 8 court the past
week for larceny and sent to the
roads for twelve months. He was
indicted by his brother, John Worth
am, from whom he did the stealing.
There were several different charges
against him, but the straw that
broke the campl's back was the theft
of the plaintiffs iimswinger coat.

the plain stri ped suit would be more
becoming to him.
