J.R. Clevenger Arraigned on A Rape Charge
Well Known Engineer Held in $1,500 Bail for Hearing Last of Week on Complaint of Mrs. Daisy Madole, Neighbor.
Husband Is Here
Held in the sum of $1,500 bail after preliminary arraignment before Judge Charles H. Stewart, justice for precinct 25, Joseph R. Clevenger, well known railroad engineer, 200 Grand, is scheduled to have a hearing the last of this week on a charge of felonious rape preferred by a neighbor woman, Mrs. Daisy Madole, wife of J.P. Madole. According to the information sworn to by Mrs Madole, Clevenger forcibly had carnal knowledge of her against her will on last Wednesday, June 1. Clevenger entered a plea of not guilty to the charge when arraigned after his arrest last night by Sheriff Romero, and bail was fixed in the sum of $1,500, which was furnished, and the hearing set for the last of the current week. Clevenger is a man of family, his wife, it is understood, being on a visit in the east at this time. According to the story told the police, Mrs. Madole, after the alleged crime had been committed, hurriedly took a train to Santa Fe where her husband was and immediately upon her arrival there notified her husband of the offense she alleges Clevenger committed. The Madoles returned to this city yesterday and it is said by the police officials that a fruitless search was made by Mr. Madole for the alleged assailant of his wife before the warrant for Clevenger's arrest was sworn out. Failing to find the man, Madole accompanied his wife before Judge Stewart and secured the warrant for Clevenger's arrest. On the evidence presented at the preliminary hearing the end of the week it will be determined whether or not the accused should be held to the grand jury which convenes next Monday.

Clevenger Is Found Guilty
Jury In Criminal Court Convicts Engineer on Felonious Charge
Jerome (sic) Clevenger, Santa Fe engineer, just 15 days after the crime was alleged to have been committed, was found guilty in criminal court here this afternoon by a jury on an indictment charging him with having raped Mrs. Daisy Agnes Madole, wife of J.P. Madole, Sante Fe fireman, on June 1 last. The jury retired at 2:54 and returned a verdict at 3:58, being out one hour and four minutes, but one juror said after the verdict was returned that the jurors were unanimous for conviction on the first ballot. Attorney Askren was given 10 days in which to file reasons for a new trial and the defendant was continued at liberty under $5,000 bond pending action of this motion. (article is much longer but doesn't have much in the way of genealogical value.)
Six months later Elizabeth Lucille Madole was born on 10 Jan 1922.
Marriage records have not been found for this couple. Several years later however, the LA Times on 25 Sep 1924 reported that Madole, John P., filed for divorce from Daisy Agnes. Presumably the divorce petition was granted because Daisy married Earl Clinton Harshman on 23 Apr 1927 in Needles, San Bernardino, CA.
