Description
Edna and Virgie Donaldson, who live
near Washington Grove, were before Justice
Mace, in the police court on Thursday of
last week, on charges of stealing two
hens from Lee Howes, a neighbor. They denied their guilt, but Justice Mace thought the
evidence against them sufficiently
strong to justify their being held for the
action of the November grand jury and fixed the bail at $IOO in each case, which was furnished.
