Attempt to Rob Judge Read - Earle and Glenn Avenues

This doesn't have much to do with the history of South Dinmore Park but is interesting nonetheless. The intersection of Earle and Glenn Avenues is just up the street from my home. A Covington Judge lived in a brick house at the intersection and a 1912 Cincinnati Enquirer article describes an attempted robbery there.

Covington

Attempt to Rob Judge Read.

    When Police Judge Read heard Van Friser, a negro, tell yesterday where he attempted to enter a house in South Covington, he leaned over and asked Patrolman Hall if it was the brick house at Earle and Glenn avenues. The Judge was informed that it was. Judge Read looked at the negro and told him it was his house that he tried to enter, and made Friser's eyes twinkle like an electrical sign. Patrolman Hall told the Court Friser acted suspiciously about the town and he had then followed him. Judge Read fined the prisoner $50 and costs and sentenced him to 50 days in jail for loitering.
