Truthful African and theft cases in Austis court
Jim Webster and Sam Johnsing faced theft charges before an Austis justice. Webster’s case closed days earlier while Johnsing’s proceeded yesterday with the judge noting a prior confession linked to another robbery. Johnsing, largely uneducated, asserted a link to a former chicken theft and wild claims about a yard and a vanished penis and other antics. The judge ordered Johnsing jailed for 160 days in county jail. The scene then shifts to a banquet of the Local Dealers Mutual Benefit association where a committee proposed a May 14 circular about winter 1445 rates and a slight price rise, amid formal toasts and cork-popping.
