Burglary.
--John Ford and
Mrs. Mary Jane Freylogle were brought before the
Mayor yesterday to answer, the one for breaking into
Dr. C. E. Anderson's dwelling house in the night time and stealing half a barrel of herrings, fifty pounds of soap, and three dozen china plates, and the other for receiving the stolen articles.
The evidence showed that
Dr. Anderson's house was robbed on Monday night. On Wednesday the stolen articles were found in
Mrs. Freylegle's house, in Screamersville, when she said she did not know who brought them there, though her sister said they had been brought there by
Ford and a negro.
Ford was on
Mrs. Freylogle's lot when
officer Kelly went there to look for the stolen goods, and ran off, but came back after the officer had left, and threatened to kill a German named Ruprecht, whom he saw standing in the street, because, he said, Ruprecht had told that he stole
Dr. Anderson's things.
The
Mayor sent
Ford on for felony, and
Mrs. Freylogle for misdemeanor.
