Marlin, Texas, December 11, 1902
SUSAN JONES CHARGED
WITH STEALING.
Susan Jones (colored), was held in bonds of
$250 on a charge of stealing a purse from another negro woman. The act was
committed Monday afternoon at Silverman's corner and considerable excitement was
caused by it. The woman was taken in by Policeman Anderson and when
searched, it was found that the woman had a large receptacle in her dress for
the evident purpose of secreting stolen property. Into this she had thrust
the purse containing $2.50. In addition to the purse the officers found
about a dozen hen eggs which she had stolen and placed there. She could
not make the bond and now languishes in the county jail.
