Newville, who had been working in Milwaukee since his escape, came to Muskegon with a friend to spend a vacation. During the afternoon a call from some woman was received by the police that Newville was her and had just left in a machine toward Grand Haven. Foy Ferris of the police department overtook Newville at Ferrysburg, where he was obtaining gasoline. Newville?s home is in Muskegon, but he was sentenced from Kent County last January under the name of Edgar Nelson, for larceny. His term was from two to five years. Warden Shean of Ionia came here last night and returned with Newville. Newville was twice in trouble here. The first time he was shot while peeking into a window on Pine Street. Later he paid a fine for joyriding with automobiles he did not own. Recently, Lucille Newville, his wife, started divorce action against him in the Muskegon circuit. ON TRIAL ON CHARGE OF LARCENY FROM STORE (29 Sep 1933) A circuit court jury this afternoon was hearing the evidence in the case of Edgar Newville charged with larceny from a store. Newville, who has a police record, was apprehended as he left the Montgomery and Ward company store. The first witness---a store employee---testified that Newville took two dresses and that one of them protruded from beneath his coat as he left the store. FOUND GUILTY OF DRESS GOODS THEFT A plea he was intoxicated and did not know he had stolen dress goods from the Montgomery Ward company store did not weigh heavily with a circuit court jury which found Edgar Newville guilty of larceny from a store yesterday afternoon. Prosecutor Francis O. Barlow placed several witnesses on the stand to testify of the circumstances attending the arrest of Newville as he prepared to leave the store. The witnesses said Newville took two dresses and that the theft was discovered when one of the dresses was visible from beneath his coat. Newville?s conviction gave the prosecutor?s office a perfect record thus far in the September term of the court. The convictions thus far include the following cases.... STAY OF SENTENCE GRANTED FOR APPEAL (16 Oct 1933) A stay of sentence of 20 days has been entered by Judge John Venderwerp in the case of Edgar Newville, 32 years old, 1285 Pine Street, who has been sentenced to serve three to four years in Jackson Prison for larceny from a store. He was released on bonds of $500. The stay was granted on motion of Newville?s counsel who plans to take an appeal to the supreme court. Newville, who has a considerable police record, was arrested for larceny of dresses from the Montgomery Ward company store. He was captured before leaving the store. Meanwhile police were assembling Newville?s criminal record for the prosecutor? s office and there is a possibility that a habitual criminal charge will be filed against him. Conviction on four felonies makes the offender liable to life imprisonment. TAKEN IN CUSTODY ON LARCENY CONVICTION (19 Dec 1933) Edward Newville, released recently on bonds of $500 pending the outcome of an appeal to supreme court from his lower court conviction on charges of larceny from a store, was taken in custody last night by Detectives William FEENEY and Rudolph JOHNSON. The police had conducted a search for Newville ever since the supreme court decided against Newville last week. He had filed a petition for leave to appeal. He was taken in custody when he visited his home on Pine Street last night. Information in connection with a third felony will be filed against Newville by Prosecutor Francis G. BARLOW. STANDS MUTE ON 3RD FELONY CHARGE (21 Dec 1933) Edward NEWVILLE, Pine Street, today stood mute when arraigned in circuit court on a third felony charge and a plea of not guilty was entered by the court. Newville was recently convicted of larceny from the Montgomery Ward and company store. Immediately following this Prosecutor Francis G. BARLOW filed the information under a habitual criminal act. The respondent has waived a jury trial as the issues are largely questions of law and not of fact. NEWVILLE FLEES PRISON, CAUGHT (15 July 1936) Barely Escaped Life Sentence Here in 1933 Edward NEWVILLE, 35 years old, of Muskegon, who was sentenced by Judge John VANDERWERP in 1933 to serve three and a half to four years in the prison of Southern Michigan on a charge of larceny from a store was arrested in Detroit today after four days of liberty, according to press reports. NEWVILLE and Jerry STOLTMAN, sentenced from Grand Rapids for auto theft, escaped from the prison near Jackson Saturday. Prison authorities were to return them today. Both men were trusties and walked away while delivering prison mail. They were arrested by Detroit Police. According to records here Newville escaped a life sentence as an habitual criminal when the information filed against him was dismissed by Prosecutor Francis G. BARLOW because one of his convictions was for violation of the prohibition law which had been repealed when the information was filed. Saturday's escape was the second time Newville fled from a state penal institution. In 1923 he was sent to the state reformatory at Ionia from Grand Rapids where he was convicted of burglary and larceny. During his third month at Ionia he escaped and was not captured until four months later. His first conviction was in 1921 when he was found guilty of auto theft. He was fined $50 and placed on probation. In 1927 he was arrested in connection with the robbery of an oil station, but the charge against him was withdrawn. In 1929 he was sentenced in federal court at Grand Rapids on a charge of violating the prohibition law.
