Pension Fraud Claimed in Case
of Man Who For Short Time
Was in Soldiers Home
IMPERsoNATED A FRIEND
Alfred Dausherty, Alias William
Crouch, Alias John L. Markett,
Worked Smooth Game for Years,
But is Finally Apprehended-Left
Homo as Soon as He Scented Trouble

What has every appearance or be-
ing a clever swindle in the shape of
pension fraud has been unearthed
in the arrest Of Alfred Daugherty, of
Keokuk, until recently a member OF
the soldiers home in this city.
Daugherty Is accused Of impersonat-
ing a friend, John l.. Market. OF
Washington county. Illinois, and draw
Ing his allowance from the government
for several years. The alleged fraud
was not discovered until the real Mar
kett made application for a pension.
Daugherty was arraigned Thursday
afternoon before United States Com
missioner Hunter, at Ottumwa, who di-
rected that the prisoner be arraigned
before Judge Smith Mcpherson. for an
order transferring his case to the llli-
nois district, and trial In the federal
court at Springfield.
Was Here Only Short Time.
Daugherty, or William Crouch, as
the man was known here, entered the
| home from Keokuk on November IL
last He remained only until one day
week before last, when he suddenly
disappeared. The presence OF q federal
inspector, who was looking up infor-
nation concerning one John L. Mar
kett was the cause of Daugherty's
sudden departure. No Market was
known here, but Crouch was suspected
as soon as he left without giving any
reasons. The man asked that his mail
be forwarded to Keokuk, and there he
was arrested by United States Marshal
Dunlap, while claiming mail for both
Crouch and Market
How Scheme Was Worked.
| Several years ago, It Is claimed,
Daugherty secured a pension under the
name OF John L. Markett. and when
recently the rightful Market applied
for a pension. the pension officials al
Washington discovered that forgery
had been committed and also that
Daugherty had applied for second
pension under the name Of William
Crouch and that he was then about to
be pensioned. The Crouch papers, were
not signed by the applicant himself,
who pretended that he could neither
read nor write, but placed his mark
thereon for signature.
AS the story goes, as told by United
States Marshal Dunlap, Daugherty,
on learning that Market had no in
tentions. at the time Of applying for
a pension to which he was entitled
went to work and learned the entire
family history of the man and his
army record. This took several
months time. He then applied for
pension under the name OF Market
and succeeded in securing it. Police
| officials and United States marshals
1 thruout the middle states were In
structed to run the imposter down. Col
John j. Hyey, of the pension inspection
bureau, came to this city ten days ago
and began his Investigations which led
to Daugherty's arrest.
4 1t is also claimed that when the
lawful Market applied for a pension
and the department took the matter
up, Daugherty even went to Markets.
home and declared that he (Daugh-
erty) was the rightful Market, and
the true Market was a fraud.
