Sent Back the Keys. Youthful depravity in Wheeling revealed
A discharged prisoner from Moundsville penitentiary returned to crime in Wheeling and beyond. He broke bars with a file, escaped, returned the keys to a guard from Kentucky, then reoffended in Ceredo, breaking into a store and being sent back to the penitentiary. Police report ongoing cases of juvenile theft, with several young suspects jailed or lectured. A missing girl and an abducted child case prompted warrants, while arrests were made at a policy shop raid. Municipal notices advertise building stock and travel excursions.
