STEWART vs. HUNT
Source: Weekly Argus News, July 21, 1894 (Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana)
Wednesday night at midnight Mrs. Josephine Stewart was brought by her father and brother from Hendricks County into Clark Township and there at the roadside made affidavit to the statement that JAW Hunt, the dentist, is the father of her unborn child.
Hunt was arrested on the charge yesterday morning, and taken before Justice Witt for trial, but the woman was in a condition too delicate to allow her to be present, and the case was continued until August 23. Hunt's bond was fixed at $400 which he had not given when we went to press.
Mrs. Stewart is the daughter of Jonathan Stewart, a well known and highly respected citizen of Hendricks County. She married a man named Stewart, but they have not lived together for two years, and have no children, it is claimed that the woman has always borne a good reputation. - transcribed by kbz
