Description
Emanuel Episcopal church, of Henrico has not escaped the desecration of churches that has become so common of late. This robbery seems to have been committed last week. The articles taken were furnishings, and are valued at about $40. Rev. B. M. Randolph, the rector,
discovered the theft, and has reported it to the county police. They are inclined to believe that McArthur and Delacy, who are now charged with having robbed Christ and Monumental churches, in this city, know something about the theft in this district, too.
