Conscience Tales From A Bygone Era Of Honest Thefts
A collection of anecdotes on guilt and repentance traces offenses from storekeepers offering cheaper soup to contractors overcharging preachers. It recounts a Kansas shopkeeper’s repentance on a 25 to 15 cent stew, a Montana contractor overcharging a preacher, and a North of England case where a thief returned stolen money after gaining wealth. The piece also notes railroads profiting from concealed thefts, including aMidwestern conductor who accepted extra fares, and a student-fare scam finally confessed with a 24000 dollar check.
