Notorious horse thief turned Justice of the Peace resigns
The report recalls Shep Tinker, famed Southeastern Ohio horse thief, elected justice in Chapel Hill for a three year term. He resigns after revealing a moral motive, citing a single case on his docket where profits would conflict with conscience. He declined to favor one debtor and pay the other. The anecdote ends with a quip on ethics and money in office.
