Alfred Daueherty, Alias John L. Mar

Soldiers Home, Sent
to Prison.


Marshalltown, Ia, Jan. 1S.-A tele-
gram received here from Springfield,
ILL.,, announces the sentence OF Alfred
Daugherty, of Keokuk. former mem
Der of the state soldiers home in this
city, to five years imprisonment in
the federal penitentiary at Fort Leav-

Daugherty is convicted OF imper-
sonating a friend, John l.. Market of
Washington county. Illinois, and draw
ing his allowance from the government
for several years. The fraud was not
discovered until the real Market
made application for pension.
Daugherty was arraigned recently
before United States Commissioners
Hunter at Ottumwa, who directed that
the prisoner be arraigned before
Judge Smith Mcpherson for an order
transferring his case to the Illinois
district, and trial in the federal court
at Springfield.
Daugherty, or William Crouch, as
the man was known here, entered the
home from Keokuk on November 10
last He remained only until one day
week before last, when he suddenly
disappeared. The presence or a federal
Inspector, who was looking up infor-
nation concerning one John l.. Mar
kett, was the cause OF Daugherty's
sudden departure. No Markett was
known here, but Crouch was suspect
ed as soon as he left without giving
any reason. The man asked that his
mail be forwarded to Keokuk. and
there he was arrested by Tniiec
States Marshal Dunlap, while claiming
mail for both Crouch and Market.

Daugherty secured pension under
the name of John L. Market, and

also that Daugherty had applied fol-

about to be pensioned. The Crouch
papers were not signed by the appli

could neither read nor write, but
placed his mark thereon for sigma
