The Ludington (Michigan) Record
Thursday, July 9, 1896
Volume XXIX

        A big robbery has been discovered in the Ionia prison which has
     set the officials of that institution wild.  About four years ago
     MINOR INGALLS was convicted in Grand Rapids of forgery and sent to
     Ionia for a term.  He had formerly been employed in a freight house,
     and at the prison he was placed in charge of the shipping department.
     After serving about half his time he was released on parole, being the
     first man to go out under the parole system.  His time has expired and
     no one knows where he is now.  It has just been learned that while
     acting as shipping clerk at the prison, he sent several carloads of
     furniture of which no trace can be found, and it is thought he sent it
     to friends and had it disposed of.  Officers at Grand Rapids have been
     notified to pick him up, but he has not been seen there since his
     release.  Just after he was let out a great fuss was made by his
     friends because he was released just too late to get to his mother's
     bedside before she died, and he was represented as a good young man
     who had been led astray by circumstances.
