The Oskaloosa Independence, Jefferson County, Saturday July 26, 1873 July 26, 1873
Robbery.
$150 Dollars Stolen.
Last Sunday evening some party or parties entered the house of John DORSEY, an
old colored man who lives in the west part of town, and took there from one
hundred and fifty dollars which the old man had earned in small amounts by hard
labor, and laid by "for a rainy day." The family was at church, and the money
was left locked up in an old-fashioned chest which fastened with a clamp and
padlock, and to which the thieves gained entrance by drawing a staple. Zeke
KENNEDY was arrested on suspicion but discharged, there being no evidence
against him, and today there is no clew to the rascals who stole an old man's
hard earned money.
