Conversion at a meeting and a back street discovery
An armdn named Jerry McA plans a store robbery in his mission to seek prayer when he suddenly converts after confessing sin. A stray Irish ragpicker is found with hidden bank books and thousands in deposits, later arrested with nearly $100 in cash. Vanderbilt heirs threaten to contest the will. The Hyers Sisters tour promises a high class musical drama Out of Bondage at Town Hall with Boston management and added star Sam Lucas. A Newport Mercury serial and local privateering history are discussed, recounting the Hiram voyage and the Bristol owners.
