Empire State – Spalding County – Week of April 9, 1856
Judge Wm. Crittenden, of our county, on his return from Macon on Thursday last, 
per Macon & Western Railroad, was robbed of $800 in cash, which the thief 
extracted from his pantaloons pocket by cutting a hole, and by this means 
obtained the money, which was rolled up in a piece of paper.  He states that an 
irresistible propensity to sleep came over him, while on the cars, to which he 
yielded, and supposes he slept for an hour.  During this time he thinks the 
robbery was perpetrated.  It is presumable that he was placed under the 
influence of chloroform, which produced the drowsy sensation he experienced.  
It is getting to be hazardous for a man to travel on the Railroads with any 
money in his pockets.
