BEATRICE ALLISTON CASE CLOSED

If you recall a couple of months ago I wrote I was looking for one - Beatrice Alliston. I even did a BOLO  looking for help from you.

Since the original memo, I made some progress which I shared. I told you she was a shoplifter and Newark knew her under gallery number  5814.

I dug and dug, and finally can tell you - Case Closed. 

Beatrice received a suspended sentence on March 31 in Municipal Court, Judge Wm. P. Martin presiding. Case disposed with following: "S.S. New Jersey Reformatory for Women, 18 Mos."

The exact date March 31, 1919. Originally I missed the year in the date. That put me off by almost 100 years.?

I know the facts of this case because I have the "Original Disposition Blank." This is a form that tracked the status of a prisoner showing Gallery number, Name, and Date of Arrest. 

Somehow this simple sheet of paper, pictured below,  escaped the shredder,  and I was able to make the purchase to save it in my personal museum. There I enjoy reviewing old time Newark. The document is a "treasure" and I am happy to show it here.
