Stray Overcoat Theft Leads to Arrest in Nashua
A stranger is under arrest in Nashua charged with stealing an traveling man’s overcoat from the De Novelles hotel on Saturday afternoon. The accused was captured near the river after the victim alerted Marshal Kegas, but denied the theft and claimed innocence.
