Cansdait'a HI, arirg

The trial of Cansdale of this county,
charged with the forgery of g marriage
certificate, came up at Davenport Satur-
day, and the Leader says:
Cansdale, the prisoner charged with
conspiracy in mock marriage with Mary
Stratton. sat all afternoon in Judge
Eagal's office yesterday listening to the
arguments of Attorney Fisher for the
state and Hubbell in making defense
for himself. The man did rot appear at
ease nor did he produce an impression
among the crowd that surrounded the
room that he was guiltless of the offense.
Indeed, it was shown that the defense
would be obliged to prove him inno-
cent of one of two crimes, that of Sc
ducing Mary Stratton under the
farce of mock marriage or bigamy.
The case has excited no little interest
among the frequenters Of court circles.
and in fact among the people of the three
cities who have been posted on the mat
ter through the press who have given it
thorough airing. According to the
testimony of Mary Stratton. Cansdale met
her while she was engaged in Rock ISL
and as nurse for little child While
out walking one afternoon he met her
and made himself SO agreeable that she
at the same place until they had gone
through loves story and come to Daven-
port to be married. The marriage took
place in Gerstenberg's saloon in the
presence Of Gerstenberg and several
other witnesses. A marriage certificate
is shown, which has the marks of being
fraud. 1t is signed by a Methodist
minister, Rev. NJ. E. Stone. 1t was
shown in the evidence that there was no
such minister in the city. From the sig
nature it would seem that the hand is
not that OF a literary man. During the
argument letters signed by Ellen Can g.
dale. and addressing William Csnsdale
as her husband, were introduced. The
prisoner grew savage as the luckless
scribe made an effort to give his readers
the benefit of such cores pondence. The
| case was not finished last evening", but it
| seems quite likely that he will be held to
the grand jury.
