Steals $24.90
Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 2, 1908
This morning Justice of the Peace Sebert Hollenbeck sentenced John Griswold of Binghamton [Broome Co., NY] to the Albany Penitentiary for ninety days and he was taken to that place by Deputy Sheriff Herkimer of Afton on the 10:57 a.m. train. Griswold for the past month had been working for Chas. Stevens, who lives in the town of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], as a farm hand and drew milk to the Bainbridge creamery. One day last week Mr. Stevens left his milk check with Fred Fleming, bookkeeper at the creamery, to get cashed with the directions to send the money over to him by his man Griswold. Saturday morning the money was given to Griswold, who, instead of returning to Stevens home, put the team in the Central hotel barn and skipped out with the cash, $24.90. As soon as his flight was discovered a warrant was sworn out before Justice Beatman at Afton, and Griswold was captured at his home in Binghamton. As the crime was committed in Bainbridge the proceedings were transferred to Justice Hollenbeck of this place. Griswold plead guilty to the charge.
