Charge: assault on H.W.P. Junius
Defendant: James Slacum
[Note: Will try to get court record on this. It seems that Dr. Junius may not have been the upstanding clergyman as he presented himself according to the following newspaper article.]
Rochester Democrat, August 17, 1858.
A Jeremy Diddler at Niagara Falls
"Some days since, a fine-looking and gentlemanly man, tolerably advanced in years, arrived at the International Hotel, Niagara Falls, with a female companion, and put upon the register the name of Dr. H W. P. JUNIUS and lady," from Lexington, Ky. In short, the Doctor wanted it known he was a southern gentleman traveling north for health and recreation."
He claimed he was robbed of all his money $300 in cash in $10 notes when it came time to leave the hotel. He was very anxious and upset of course, and the kindly hotelier, Mr. Osbourn, taking pity on him was assured Dr. Junius credit was good. So Dr. Junius arranged to a $250 draft on his bank in Louisville, KY for Mr. Osbourn to cash. In order to purchase the bank draft, Mr. Osborn had to give his bank a $70 check. All seemed fine and Dr. Junius with his lady left Saratoga. Mr. Osborn then found out the bank in Kentucky had never heard of Dr. Junius and a quick message was sent to the bank in Lockport not to cash the $70 check.
Dr. Junius returned to Lockport to cash his check and he was arrested. His lady was not with him, having been left in a Buffalo hotel. The good Dr. was taken to Niagra Falls where he "was unable to tell the names of any of the prominent men of that place [Lexington, KY] and some Simon Pure Kentucky gentlemen from that vicinity who happened to be staying at the Falls just now, happened to be ignorant of the existence of such a clergyman."
The article concluded with the possibility of his having to go to state prison in New York unless he can show his clean record.
