let allegedly contained around
$130 at the time.
Thursday May 7, Morrison
was arrested after he became
too affluent with the long
green and alcholic goods. He
was jugged, searched and a
round $8.10 in cash found in
his pocket. He was also carry
ing a bottle containing a far
more exotic brand of toddy
than he usually orders. The
police became suspicious and
checked around town. Mor
rison was found to have cashed
several $10 bills. 1
I his circumstance further
increased the polices’ suspi
cions. Morrison hadn’t been
working steady for quite some
time.
The morning of May 8 Morri

amount of money from the
original $130.
