Guy M. Dickerson, alias C. P. Dickerson, who has just completed a two-year term in the city jail, was taken in charge by the United States authorities yesterday, and must stand trial in Washington
for alleged theft of a watch. The young man was arrested upon a bench warrant for his removal to the District of Columbia, issued by the Washington authorities, charging him with the larceny of a gold watch valued at $20 the property of Benjamin T. Rattray, of Washington. Dickerson completed a two-year term in the city jail several days ago. His offences here were board-beating, and larceny from fellow-boarders. His two years were divided into four sentences of six months each. Upon, the completion of his term he was held United States Commissioner in the sum of $200 bail which the prisoner could not give. United States Marshal Bendit left last night for Washington, taking Dickerson with him. The prisoners about 26 years of age, and would impress one very favorably.
