Michigan's Meanest Thief

ST. IGNACE, Mich., Feb. 8 -- Tuesday morning Watson Sherman, a bridge carpenter, was instantly killed at work on the new slip. The corpse was taken to Mallet & Walker's undertaking place. A half dollar was placed over one eye. James hughes, a lumberman, loafed around the body for a time, and at last, when nobody was looking, stole the half-dollar and put a penny in its place. The fellow was at once arrested. He pleaded guilty, and was held.
