Father of Gi Denies Story Of Trip Aid
Paul Hedgecock father of a soldier Kenneth Hedgecock 22 accused by a Cedar Street girl Frances Forrest of seduction and birth of an illegitimate child told the Enterprise today his son received no financial aid from the girl's father in coming from Germany. Deputies who arrested the soldier quoted the girl's father as saying he paid expenses for the trip to marry. Kenneth Hedgecock refused to marry after learning the girl loved someone else. The girl says Hedgecock seduced her under a promise to marry and fathered the child. The soldier posted 800 bond on two charges. A Municipal Court hearing is set for next Monday. The father asserts his son paid his own way here from Germany and received no funds from government or girl’s father.
