Because the Waite of the articles

placed on them by the owner, Walter
Lightning, co1ored, charged with, and
indicted for, stealing a gold chain and
pendant from Mrs. r. w. Trafford,

petit 1arcency instead of grand larceny

West Broad street. The two articles
were taken from q handbag. which
Lightning left, empty on the seat. He
was arrested a few days later by De-
tectives Krengel and Atkinson. In re-
porting the theft of the chain and
pendant the complainant placed in
them a value OF $500, and Lightning
was indicted on a charge of grand
larceny.

the value OF articles stolen. and J. +.
Allen. of J. r. Allen & Company,

to testify as to the value of the chain
and pendant.
What is their value?" queried Mr..
Folkes, Commemorative attorney
The jeweler dangled them in his
hands a moment.
Il don't know what they cost. he
replied, but they are worth Just $15."
Mr.. Folkes Immediately moved the
court to change the indictment to one
of petit larceny and on that charge
Lightning was convicted. He was de-
Tended by w. M. Justis and John c.
Page.
Mr.. Trafford. when asked as to the
value of the articles, could not say.
