Jesse L. Livermore newspaper articles from 1895!

[bigbluemarble]

I am a very large fan of Jesse L. Livermore and I came across two interesting newspaper articles from 1895 about his teen years while I was researching in the Microfilm dept. at the Boston Public Library/Copley:

#1.) "CHARGED WITH THEFT"
"Jesse L. Livermore Arrested At The Instigation of a Visiting Relative."

"MANCHESTER, N.H. July 13 - JESSE L. LIVERMORE, 18, was arrested at Wilton today by Inspector Flood of Nashua on the charge of stealing $600 from his uncle, who is visiting here from Atlanta, GA.

"The theft was discovered this morning, and the young man was missing. It was learned that he had hired a livery team and started for xxx Junction, and the police were notified by wire. He was brought back to Manchester." Boston Daily Globe, July 14, 1895 pg. 22.

#2) THE MANCHESTER UNION, Tuesday July 16, 1895, pg. 3.

"LIVERMORE BOUND OVER TO SUPREME COURT"
'In $800 Dollar Bonds"

Jesse Livermore was overtaken at Wilton by Inspector O'Dowd, Saturday Forenoon.

Livermore's counsel: Henry E. Burtham

Jesse pleaded not guilty.

"He was bound over in the sum of $800 for the September term of court." pg. 3.

"The young man's uncle, Lauriston L. Prouty, was in court ready to appear against him." pg. 3.

"The bail was furnished." pg. 3.

The Manchester Union article is longer than the Boston Daily Globe and is a lot more insightful on young Jesse's demeanor. I plan on doing a lot more local research in Boston.

P.S. Jesse Livermore (Eighteen) was found "not guilty" of larceny on September 24th, 1895 (page 3) by the Manchester Grand Jury. Good for him!
