Caught Again

Oct. 13, 1909, Arrested  
Oct. 13, 1909: Charles Hummer dodged the police for months after being charged with vagrancy and paying a $100 fine for stealing garden hoses from people’s lawns. He promised to leave town but didn’t. A couple of detectives recognized him when he got on a streetcar and now he’ll be in jail for 180 days. What do you do with a wagonload of stolen garden hose? I haven’t any idea.
