Caught BY a Laundry Ticket.
If you've got notion to break into
somebody's house or something like
that, be sure that you don't have any
laundry tickets lying loose around your
pockets before you start burglarizing.
Profit by the example Of Jerry john
son, negro. Charlie Good, negro, re-
ported to the police on May 6, that
somebody had entered his house and
stolen about everything worth stealing.
The thief had evidently left a laundry
ticket on til foor because the one that
was found there did not belong to
Charlie. The ticket was turned over
to Deputy Marshal Frank Allen, who
found that the laundry ticket was Jer-
ry Johnson's. 1t is. said that the negro
admits his guilt.
