Two men jailed in Missouri forgery and theft cases
In Hannibal, Judge William T. Ragland sentenced Harry Marshall to five years in the Missouri penitentiary for forgery and John Lawrence to two years for larceny. Marshall allegedly forged his father in law William Kuhn of Illinois, and Lawrence robbed a Hannibal man named Cummings. They will be moved to Jefferson City with others next week. The same session heard ongoing cases including Fred and Dina Wilkins, whose charge of obtaining money under false pretenses was continued, while a prior similar charge against them was dismissed after a settlement. A civil suit by Charles Noel vs John ODonnell et al regarding a taxicab collision proceeded with a jury. Additional civil matters were heard and a damages claim by Ida E. Rissmiller against St. Louis & Hannibal Railway was dismissed on plaintiff’s request. The Elzen vs Dunn civil action allowed amended answer filing by March.
