Kalamazoo (MICH) Gazette, May 17, 1879, p. 2.
Mary Bell put on men's clothes in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and started out
at night as a burglar. She broke into a grocery and was raiding the money
drawer, but the noise awakened a clerk who had slept there to watch for
thieves. He shot the woman and disabled her so that she was easily
captured.
