- From the Boston Herald, 11 Dec 1946: Fugitive Gets Year in Maine
[Special Dispatch to The Herald]
PORTLAND, Dec. 10?A sentence of a year and a day in a federal penitentiary for failing to register for the draft was given today to Albert C. Faunce, 31, fugitive from a Georgia chain gang who married a Boston girl after a courtship of one week and lived out the war in Boston and Kennebunk, Me., under an assumed name.
Present in the federal courtroom as Faunae pleaded guilty was his pretty, 27-year-old wife, the former Katherine Diercksen, to whom he was married under the alias of Albert Gordon shortly after his flight from Georgia in 1941, and his mother, Mrs. Susand Dredgers of Philadelphia. Asked by Judge Peters if he had anything to say, Faunae replied, "No, sir."
