A STRANGE MISTAKE
Minister Gives Woman Wrong
Name in Reporting a Mar
rage Ceremony.
MAY AFFECT PROCEEDINGS

An unusual error on the part of
minister was brought to light this
morning when papers for divorce
were filed by Mrs. Ann Dempsey
Petersen. The defendant in sthe case
is Marius Petersen, and both are
residents of Kenosha. At the time of
the marriage the Rev. Harry Thomp-
son, the former rector of the ST.
Matthew's church, made a strange
error in reporting the marriage and
there is no record in the books of the
county of the marriage of Ann Demp-
sey. The records show that Marius
Petersen was united in marriage to
Ann O'Nei11. No reason IS e: ven for
the strange error as Mrs. Dempsey
had never been known by the name of
O'Nei11.
At the time the marriage was per-
formed in 1893 no marriage licenses
were required in Kenosha, and for
this reason there is absolutely no
record to show that the minister was
in error The effect that this fact
Will AdVC Ou Lie u1VOICG Su1C is q
knotty problem for the attorneys
interested in the case, and it may be-
come necessary for Mrs. Petersen to
prove that she and the Cam O'Nei11''
mentioned in the return of the mar
rage certificate are one and the same
person.
The complaint of Mrs. Petersen
against her husband follows the
statute and she alleges that he de-
serted her a year after she was
married to him and that the two have
been living apart for period of more
than five years previous to sthelbegin-
ming of the suit.
The case will probably come up for
trial at the September term Iof the
Circuit court. Both Petersen and his
wife are well known in Kenosha, hav-
ing resided here many years.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1904-08-11

1t was reported on the streets this
morning that other officials Of the
Kenosha Trust company might be
called to account on account of the
failure of the trust company to meet
its obligations, but this is not shown
to be true by the complaints in the
hands of the District Attorney. These
complaints name only Komp and it is
thought that he will be forced to bear
the entire charge.
At the time of the incorporation
of the company the full list of Of
fcers we're given as follows: Presi-
dent Frank S. Komp, Vice President
H. w. Kon1p MRS. Komp), Secretary
and Treasurer Frank T. Ma1oney and
Assistant Secretary George Melville.
All of these people with the exception
of Frank T. Ma1oney are now in
Kenosha. Ma1oney, who was the
cashier of the Kenosha State Bank, is
now working in bank in Cleveland,
Ohio, and he has given the officials
every possible aid in their efforts to
secure evidence against Komp.
Mrs. Komp is held to be gui1t1ess as
it is understood that she was simply
named as an officer on account of the
fact that she was an incorporated Of
the concern.
