Indiana Early Horse Thieves Case and Senator Reagan Tale
In early Indiana the public trusted Judge General Marston Clark to handle horse thief depredations. A dramatic court scene leads to a whipping verdict and a new trial, after which all other prisoners are convicted and no further theft occurs. The piece then shifts to Senator-elect Reagan’s peculiar habit of folding and cutting paper while listening in the House, and ends with a humor piece about women and Grangers reflecting on old times and wives.
