Thirteen White Girls Claim Dave Avery as Fiancé
Thirteen women accuse Indian man Dave Avery of breach of promise and vow to support his jail stay in Stroud Oklahoma. The NY Journal says all 13 still love him yet fear helping him, as he faces possible years behind bars. Avery, part Choctaw, toured New York and Boston before returning home to woo multiple women. He pursued each briefly, keeping rivals unaware, then faced a sudden surge of visits to dressmakers and shops as twelve suitors contested his affections. The report notes his potential for a long sentence and notes an unrelated advertisement for foot powder by Allen’s.
