Mary Munch's Sentence

The Gazette of November 2, 1923, carried a sympathetic follow-up to the previous month's moonshine story.

The son mentioned in the story had died in December 1922.

In the next week's Gazette we find Mary trying to sell off some of her property quickly.

The November 1 Hobart News had also carried a short article on Mary's fate. In the column next to it was another story I found interesting, about the use of "ready prints" by small-town newspaper publishers.
