Rape in the Morning Appeal, 1880 & 1900

In-State Crimes

In 1880, there were six crimes that occurred in-state.

In 1900, ten of the crime reports occurred in-state.

Among the in-state crimes, there wasn’t much change over time in the way the stories were portrayed in the twenty year period; the main difference in reporting stems from the update on previously reported stories.  Since the stories were local, they were able to share more details and keep up to date with the currency of the case.
