Sherman Everett Taken In For Horse Stealing
Sherman Everett a little over 21 was taken by Officer Cline and Carl Frison at University avenue and Elm street for possessing F K Robeson’s fine driving team and buggy. He was booked at the city prison then released after foster father Samuel Wills assumed damages. Wills had already posted rewards and expenses for earlier incidents, and Everett’s actions are blamed by many, including Wills who raised him since infancy. The coroner’s jury in Hillsboro, Illinois, found Rosa Moore’s death by husband Edward Moore was without due caution, a manslaughter equivalent, with no arrest warrant yet issued and liberty until the April grand jury.
