Jesse Livermore newspaper article - interesting.

I'm a huge Jesse Livermore fan; and in my research on his life I came across two newspaper articles which some might find interesting:

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 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". p.3.

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

"The bail was furnished." p. 3

I am from South Boston, MA. and found these newspaper articles in the Microfilm room of the Boston Public Library Copley Square. I am doing further research. Hope you also look these up. Thanks!

bigbluemarble,

Welcome to the Board! And thanks for the articles on Livermore. It is always fascinating to read about him - especially his early life which has not been documented very well.
