It's been a while since we've heard from Ainsworth's one-man crime wave, Jerome Chester, but in January of 1916 he returned to Hobart … not from Chicago, as I had expected, but from Ithaca, New York, where he was working for a structural iron firm and where he had injured his thumb. So he came to visit his mother and rest his thumb.
History does not record how long he stayed, but apparently he got through the visit without committing any crimes.
