  4. additional details about the issues and accomplishments of Kenney's term as senator

Senator Kenney was involved in a scandal involving fraud at the Dover National Bank in the late 1890s. According to 2 newspaper articles concerning William Newell Boggs (half-brother of my g-g-grandfather, hence the family interest for me), the Senator was twice tried, but both trials resulted in a hung jury. Unfortunately I do not have citations for those articles, only copies of clippings. Boggs, a teller at the bank, cooperated with the US Attorney, and was put in witness protection in prison. Further research is needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbp1964 (talkcontribs) 16:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
