Lawrenceburg Register – 28 Aug 1873 – Page 3, Column 3

DEARBORN CIRCUIT COURT.
Special Session.

CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS.

State of Indiana vs. Albert and Frank Manning—charge, grand larceny; verdict, three years in State’s prison, five dollars fine and five years disfranchisement each. The crime for which the above penalty was adjudged was the robbery of a Mrs. Winkley, living near Aurora, of about one hundred and thirty dollars in her absence, intimidating the only inmate of the house, their own sister, a mere child, by threats of death, and pointing a revolver at her to prevent her giving an alarm. They were captured in June last at Greensburgh, by Marshal J. R. Clemens.

State vs. Laborious Dill—plea of guilty; fined five dollars and costs for assault and battery. The assault was stabbing Jacob Johann, his nephew, with a knife, in June last. Laborious’ troubles all come from alcoholism, and the Court took a righteous view of his mental condition.

J. Halbert, charged with stealing a horse from H. Ickenroth; found guilty by a jury which returned a verdict of two years at Jeffersonville, five dollars fine, and disfranchisement for five years.

John S. Barrow, for knocking down and robbing J. H. Milholland three weeks ago, is under sentence by the Court on a plea of guilty. Judgement suspended; Barrow’s complicity appearing to be more of a drunken debauch and a maudlin assistant than that of a highwayman.

Otto Miller and Charles Winters were arraigned for a coat robbery at George’s Lane’s. Winters took all the crime upon his own shoulders, and was sentenced to Jeffersonville for one year. Miller was released—honorably discharged, as the Yankees have it.

 

CIVIL CASES.
