A ROGuS JUSTICE
Who Pretended To EBe a Brother O
e. =. Davenport.

who Pretended to EBe a Brother of
Z. =. Davenport.
A case Of peculiar imposition has recently
come TO light. Oct. 10, 1885, Hattie Weaver,
q widow with two children, was married to
Henry Kochem at a house on Fourteenth
avenue northeast near Main street. The
marriage ceremony was performed by a
man about 30 wears old, whom it was sup
supposed was justice Of the peace. Re-
Gently the wife heard rumOrs that the cere-
mony was a bogus one. Her husband
stated that he secured the Justice, who said
he was son of Z. j. Davenport, clerk of
the district court at the Nicollet house.
Mrs Kochem visited the clerks office, and
found that a license had been issued, but
that Mr.. Davenport being only "a years old
could not have been the father of the bogus
justice.
According to provision of the
statute the marriage is legal
one, but it is likely that this
will afford the poor woman very little sat
isfactiOn, as she claims her husband has
taken to drinking and neglects to provide
for her, treating her harshly. etc. Neigh
bors have been caring for her, but she has
suffered great deal from want as well as
sorrow. The bogus justice is described as a
man of medium heighth, with light COM
plexiOn and mustache. He came to the
house in hack with couple of friends
and read the service from book, for which
he was paid So. Being asked to stay and
participate IN the wedding festivities he de-
clined, saying he had another couple to
marry and couldn't stay away from the
Office so long unless he telephOned the sold
man"
This is the second time Mr.. Davenports
game has been used to carry out the designs
OF some imposter. About three years ago
a man got months board by representing
he was a brother of Ed Davenport, the
county clerk and to quiet suspicion actually
introduced an elderly female. who declared
she was Eds mother and spoke of him III
terms of maternal affection.

A PRRcoCIOus BOY.

The news yesterday came to Ed ]. Da-
venport, the clerk of the district court, that
his son one night last October took a hack
and. going TO a house in Northeast Mime
apolis. married a widow with two small
children to gentleman of TeutOnic ante
cedents. What. my son do thing like
this that will bring my grey hairs in sOrrOw
TO the grave-and only years old. What
will he do by the time he gets big enough
TO smoke cigarets?" With this the dis
tracted parent locked himself into the vault
and refused to be consoled. A few minutes
later news was received that the person
who ofiiciated as justice of peace was a man
at least 80 years old. AS Davenport is only
years older than that he was forced % the
conclusion that either he must have been a
father at the early age of 4, or that the JUS
tice was an impOstor. He chooses the latter
horn of the dilemma as the true solution of
the difficulty. and the woOdshed matinee
he had resolved upon was indefinitely post
pOned.
