Frauds Exposed in New York Census Violation Case
Davenport, New York City Supervisor of Elections, pursued a census fraud scheme. An enumerator listed names with ages, nativity, and jobs for a Green Street house near the Eighth Ward, including Garfield and Arthur entries. The arrested writer, a crippled man about 35, tearfully claimed others supplied the data. If convicted, he faces up to a $5,000 fine and two years in prison.
