Description
Mat Love, a colored girl in this city, who was arrested some time since on a charge of setting Ed Reese’s house on fire, and unable to give bail, was confined in jail at Platte City, had her trial on Thursday in that place. She plead guilty and was sentenced to the penitentiary for 5 years.
Mat has for some years been noted for her reckless life. She has been raised better too, as her parents are hard working people and generally respected by all. Truly, “the way of the transgressor is hard.” Let others take warning.Date(s) of Creation
