Prisoner George Parish recounts curse and thefts tale
George Parish, a Frederick County inmate, tells how a supposed curse from a former lover sparked years of petty thefts after living in Cumberland and Washington. He describes two bald spots tied to hair burial, his misdeeds, a failed plan with a fortuneteller, and his imminent imprisonment reflected in his cautious stance before Justice Besant.
