News of the Times Short #83 | 1888
The Story of: A Purse Unaccounted For
A poor woman on the tram is targeted by a gang who rob her of the majority of her posessions.  One can picture this still taking place today.

We included this story in time for the Christmas shopping spree where theft and scams can abound.
This story recounts the story of how the person is caught.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Who are News of the Times?
Combining a background in Theatre, Psychology, History and English Literature, The News of the Times Team comb through archives to find stories that reflect the everyday person of the time.  We look for stories that were trending, or reflect what was consuming people of the day.  

We also sometimes go back to specifically look for articles which take on greater meaning from a historical standpoint.  Jack the Ripper Stories, at the time known as The Whitechapel Murders, is one example.
