Young Teacher or Base Runner? - The Shadow Archives


 


Sacramento Police Book,1886


this past week. I ventured off to look at some mug shots from Sacramento, California looking for one of the wives of our interred (very long story).  anyway, I came across a story about Abbie Hyde.

Abbie was a married 30 year old teacher, and for all intents and purposes, looked like she led a regular life.  that is, until she was arrested for stealing a bag with a baseball uniform in it.  the woman had entered into a business, and took the bag of the owner's son.  When she was caught by police, she said she was going to be returning the bag.  However, there was one tiny issue that incriminated her.......well, you can read the article below.

After this event, she seemed to go back to her normal life, but her behavior was perplexing.
