Middle Ga Argus
Tried for Burglary

Thomas McNair, white, and Alf Sheppard colored, were tried before the county 
court on Wednesday for burglarizing the storehouse of Welch & Fincher at 
Fincherville in the northern part of this county.  The Negro testified that Mr. 
McNair compelled him to watch while he (McNair) broke in and stole the goods.  
This of course McNair denied, stating that he was in company with the Negro 
that night but knew nothing of the theft.  Others testified as to the store 
being broken open and the goods but did not know who did it.  McNair was placed 
under a $250 bond but failed to make it and was sent to Fulton county jail for 
safe keeping.  Sheppard gave a $200 bond.
