CRIME and PUNISHMENT

Persons running around town at night and stealing what they can find in the shape of provisions, etc., had better look a little out; for traps are set for them, and they will be caught. They are the worst class of beings on earth, and when caught should be hanged until they are dead, dead, DEAD!
