Charles E. KINNEY and Son, Andrew
Arrested for Stealing Mr.. Sherfy's
Setting Hens.
Those at the hearing Of Charles e.
KINNEY and his son, Andrew, before
Police Justice Dinst, yesterday after
noon. were reminded Of the Mother
Goose rhyme.
e4Three blind mice, see how they run,
They all run after the farmers wife,
She cut of their tails with a carving
knife"
Only in this case they were not mice.
but chickens, and they did not run
after the farmers wife, but locked
themselves up in Kimmey's she'd, I'M
til Mrs. KINNEY opened the door and
let them out. Some of the chickens
we're setting hens, that further prov
ed their intelligence by g0inv back
to their nests, when carried back to
the Sherfy's. Edward O. Weant, ESQ.,,
appeared for Andrew, and Ivan L.
Hoff, ESQ.,, for the father. The father
sat mute, but Andrew swore that he
did not steal the chickens, and both
Andrew and Mrs. KINNEY sWore that
the father stole them. The evidence
developed the following: KINNEY and
Andrew have the same Job as bridge
tenders at Spring Garden on the West
ern Maryland Railway. KINNEY, ST.,
works from ten at night until six in
the morning. KINNEY, Jr., from two
m the afternoon until 10 at night.
Young KINNEY testified that last Sun
day. his father offered to work the
double shift, If he would go home
and steal Shery's chickens. He says
that he refused. His father then asked
him to work double, so that he could
steal them He agreed to work for
him, and did so on Sunday night. On
Monday his father got on the bridge
job and paid him back by working
the straight is hours, and Andrew
came home. Mrs. KINNEY sWore that
Andrew was not home Sunday night,
but that her husband was. She
swore that Andrew was home Mon
day night and went to bed and did
not leave the house. She further tes-
titled that her husband got in about
o'clock Monday morning, muddy
and sweating and that he told her
that he stole the chickens and she
saw them next morning The Sher-
fy's missed 81 chickens Tuesday
morning and reported to States At
torney Brown, who with the sheriff
went aut to investigate. While ques-
tioning Andrew, the mother slipped
up to the shed where the chickens
were penned and opened the door so
that they could go out The Sherfy's
identified 10 of them, though they mad
their tails cut off.
Mr.. Dinst looked very wise as he
heard the amazing testimony, but
concluded that he could not solve the
mystery, and passed the buck to the
Circuit Court holding both father and
son for the action of the grand jury.

In sad but loving remembrance of my dear son.
Willie A, Williams. who departed this life just
one year ago today. April rs. 1919.
A year ago you left me,
And oft have wondered why,
In the strength of youth and beauty,
Thou were called so soon to die.
A tear within mothers eye
A mothers breaking heart
Can only tell of the agony.
How hard it was to part.
More and more each day miss him,
Some may think the wound is healed,
But little they know of the sorrow,
That's within my heart concealed.
The moonlit stars are cleaning.
Upon silent grave.
Where sleeps without dreaming,
The one could not save.
You are gone but not forgotten
Nor viii you ever be;
For as long life and memory last
i will always think of thee.
By his loving mother. Annie E. Williams.

In sad but loving remembrance of my beloved
mother, Harriet A. Miller. who departed this life
Two years ago. April %. 1918.
The hands that toied for us are folded;
Her warm heart is stilIed,
A place is vacant in our home
That never can be filed.
Oh the memory of that night.
When we knew our mother was dead
Our hearts were crushed with sorrow
And many bitter tears were shed.
How sweet the name of mother sounds
To the ones who feel so sad
To speak of friends upon this earth
Mother is the best friend to have.
Now two lonely years have passed.
Since we have seen her face;
We think of her as when at last
We saw her sitting at her place.
Dear mother, we are sad and lonely tonight.
To think how, soon you passed away;
Our hearts are heavy, our grief is our pain
When we think of you, dear mother whom
death had to claim.
But we know the time is coming
When the bitter winds blow sweet
We shall find you in the twilight,
When the gold and crimson meet.
Her absence but draws us the nearer.
Between us there hangs but thread,
To us there is no one dearer,
We feel she is just missing. not dead
BY her loving son and daughter-in law.

As time flies by miss you more;
My heart still inourns
As you sleep in peaceful rest;
The parting was painful,
But God knoweth best.
