Charles Alexander Mauget
Kentucky Post, Friday, 11 October 1895, page 7
Considerable excitement was created on York Street, Newport, this morning by a wordy altercation between Charles Mauget the tailor, and Harry Taliaferro but which failed to result seriously. It seems that Mauget accosted Taliaferro in his usual impulsive manner for payment of a disputed bill and when the latter kiddingly refused to comply, at the same time flashing a roll of bills, the tailor rushed off to Squire Singleton's office and caused his arrest on a charge of provoking a breach of peace.
Tom Hearne and Mauget became involved a controversy in the Squire's office, in which some pretty strong language was indulged in. Finally all three were placed under bond to appear for trial tomorrow morning.

The body of Mrs. Mauget was found at the bottom of a flight of stairs at the Mauget residence, 813 Monroe Street, Sunday morning, Aug 28 last, with a deep gash over the eye and numerous finger prints on the neck, which marks indicated she had been strangled to death

Claude Alexandre Mauget, 72, Chevalier of the Legion of Honor of France, was placed on trial Tuesday at Newport to answer the charge of manslaughter in connection with the death of his wife, Mrs. Martha Shebeck Mauget, last August. The grizzled veteran of the Crimean war took his seat in the courtroom beside his lawyers.
"Can a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor be guilty of a crime such as this? he asked. "It is impossible. Emperor Louis Napoleon himself honored me with the diploma of the Legion for bravery in the Crimea. How can such an awful crime as this be charged against me?" Miss Bertha Shebeck, daughter of Mrs. Mauget is the principal witness. Mauget had lived in Newport since 1863, the year he arrived in America. It was the Civil War period and armed with credentials from the American Ambassador to France, sought out of Secretary of War Stanton to offer his services in behalf of the Union.
Evidence brought before the grand jury is said to relate to violent quarrels Mauget and his wife had. Mauget has so far failed to produce anyone who saw him on the street walking, as he claims to have been doing in the hour of the alleged murder.

Newport, where Mrs. Marie Mauget, his wife, was found dead last Aug 22. His emotion was visible as he stood below the landing and pointing upward, said: "Zarie! eet is the place."
When Prosecutor Burkamp addressed the jury, the old man buried his head in his hands as he sat beside his son, Eddy Mauget.
