Preferred Prison To Work At Occoquan
A prisoner in Criminal Court No 1 pleaded guilty to depredation on Henry Espey’s property and was sent to Occoquan for 11 months and 29 days rather than the penitentiary. Other sentences included assault, housebreaking, larceny, and robberies, with multiple terms in the penitentiary and some suspended or probation. Inspector Boardman returns to duty as rumors of police department changes prove baseless. Richard A Dorgey’s will leaves his estate to his widow Carrie Wiggin Dorsey, with plans for their son Harl Figein Dorsey.
