The Turkey Hill Times
June 18,1792
Burglar Caught!
Local man, Robert Smith, has been caught and convicted on several counts of burglary. Smith was arrested last week at Viets Taven, owned by prison warden, John Viets, after creating a drunken distubance. Smith admitted to stealing his neighbor’s horse last month.
When authorities went to his barn to retrieve the horse, they also found jewery and money stashed beneath the hay and under floorboards.
Robert Smith is also suspected in the robbery of Blacksmith Higley’s copper coins, but the coins have yet to be recovered.
Robert Smith has been sentenced to 20 years at the Old New-Gate Prison in Turkey Hill where he will join other Tories, thieves, and debtors working in the copper mines.
