Davenport Restored to Police Captain Position in 1940s
The Davenport case dominated a Thursday board session as Aubrey Davenport was restored to captain in the police identification bureau. The fire department payroll was approved while police payroll was deferred amid disputes over Aubrey Hopkins and David Cruz. Davenport, acting as his own counsel, recounted his 1929 to 1940 employment and the 1940 discharge for absence without leave, noting a 1940 offer from Sheriff Owen W. Kilday to help organize sheriff records and his appeals to Police Chief Ray Ashworth and Mayor Maury Maverick. Knopp of the immigration office is on 10 day leave with B G Spence covering.
