Led to see Sheriff Peacock go
up to the Davenport home and
arrest Rev. and Mrs. Davenport
Saturday evening.
Never in the history of Meth
odist preachers in Lexington had
one Of their illustrious number
been in the hands of the law.
They were taken to the Meth
odist church where the lawful
proceedings of a trial took
place.
Charges were preferred against
the accused, Rev. Davenport, by
DIR. w. R. Eckle, to the effect
that on the 3rd day of June,
twenty years ago he had stolen
his wife.
The accused plead "nOt
guilty." and chose his attorneys,
Messrs. Devices and Coleman
Eckle and the jury was chosen
the case was then tried before
MIR. F.. Lee Wallace, the Judge.
Mrs. Davenport wa duly
sworn as a witness by the clerk,
Mr.. Dave Heathman. After
questioning the witness. the
lawyers made their appeals be-
fore the jury. Then the jury
retired and presently brought in
r verdict Of guilty"
The judge then pronounced the
very grave sentence that they
must be remarked.
The strains of annie Laurie
were heard, and the wedding pro
cession marched slowly dow
the centre Of the room and re

mony, after which came the con
gratulations, which are usually
