TWO VERSIONS OF BAXTER INCIDENT
No Threat Made to Anyone, Attorney testifies.
Verdict For Mrs. Baxter
While Plaintiff Said She Paid $800 to Keep Her Husband From Prison;
Attorney Maloney Said She Feared to Keep Money
The story of the BAXTER case as told by William MALONEY, attorney, on the witness stand in Municipal Court yesterday
was clear and concise, but in the face of it the jury brought in a verdict of $805 for the plaintiff, Mrs. BAXTER.
The action was brought against Emil BOSHARD, grocer, at No. 16 Allen street, by Josephine F. BAXTER, to recover
$800 which she alleged was extorted from her by threats to send her husband, Fred BAXTER, an employee of BOSHARD,
to prison for an alleged theft. Willis MATSON appeared for BOSHARD, and John F. KINNEY was counsel for the plaintiff.
The defense called several witnesses, the main one being William MALONEY, attorney, retained by BOSHARD originally,
and through whom the $800 was accepted from Mrs. BAXTER.
According to the story of the defense, this $800 had been stolen from the BOSHARD store in various accounts. But
the plaintiff's witnesses declared that BAXTER and his wife had saved money before they were married, and also
that BAXTER had bet on ball games and made money in that way.
Evidence was adduced showing that BAXTER had been employed by BOSHARD as a driver on May 9th, and was arrested
on complaint by the latter that he had stolen some of the grocer's funds. Then BOSHARD was alleged by Mrs. BAXTER
to have threatened to send her husband to prison for the offense, and to have forced her to sign a check for $800
to keep him from continuing the prosecution.
This was refuted by Mr. MALONEY on the stand yesterday. He told the following story: Following BOSHARD's discovery
of the theft, Mrs. BAXTER called at Mr. MALONEY's office and said she wished to settle the matter, but was too
ill to think of giving up all her money — money which her husband has given to her. She said she was willing to
pay over $800 to Mr. BOSHARD if the affair could be dropped.
She produced a pass book on the Rochester Savings Bank, which showed, said Mr. MALONEY, that she had made two deposits
of $500 each, one on April 21st and one on May 3d. This, was all BOSHARD's money, according to Mr. MALONEY. After
consulting with his client, BOSHARD, and lawyer friends, he consented to accept the $800 from mrs. BAXTER.
Mr. MALONEY testified that he immediately told Police Captain William A. STEIN that Mrs. BAXTER had made restitution
of $800 that her husband had taken from BOSHARD. When questioned by counsel the attorney denied emphatically that
anything had been said in his office regarding sending Fred BAXTER to state prison if his wife did not pay over
this money.
There were other conversations between BAXTER, Mrs. BAXTER and the attorney. Mr. MALONEY told her that, if the
Court consented, BOSHARD would drop the case. But the attorney said there was absolutely no agreement between himself
and Mrs. BAXTER that the paying over of the $800 would insure the dropping of the case.
Details of the earlier events were told by a young step-son of BOSHARD's who was called by the defense. On May
9th he was in the store at No. 16 Allen street, but left it for a short time with only BAXTER inside. When he came
back an effort was made to open the cash register and it would not open. On the following day he went to the bank
with a deposit slip and money done up in packages amounting to about $400, and when the money was counted by the
teller at the bank it was found that $100 was missing. He mentioned that shortages in the contents of the cash
register had been noticed on two or three occasions.
According to this witness, Mrs. BAXTER called at the BOSHARD place a short time after the discovery of the theft
and offered to pay BOSHARD $250 if he would not prosecute her husband. She came back in the morning, according
to the boy, and offered to pay $500, and later raised the amount to $600. He was sure she had said that $470 of
this money was her own.

GOES ROWING ALONE ---DROWNS
Man Who Loses Life in River May Have Committed Suicide — Rocked Boat
An unidentified man was drowned in the river a mile north of the West Shore bridge last night. The body was recovered
some time after 11 o'clock and removed to the morgue. Nothing was found to indicate who the man was or where he
came from, and it is not known at this time whether it was a case of accidental drowning or suicide.
Early last evening a stranger appeared at the Long dock in Genesee Valley Park and rented a rowboat. He rowed up
the river, but his progress was slow, owing to the many motorboats and canoes on the stream, and it is said that
it was past 9 o'clock when the boat with its lone occupant reached a point about 400 feet south of River Bend Inn.
Several persons who were on the river claimed to have seen the man in the boat. When last seen he is said to have
been seated in the stern and apparently was allowing the boat to drift back toward the park. Suddenly the boat
capsized or the man jumped into the water. He was seen floundering in the river, and a canoeist who happened to
be near by started toward the drowning man. The man is said to have struggling as in an effort to keep himself
on the surface, but sank before the canoeist could reach him.
A report of the drowning was telephoned to the Bronson avenue station, and Lieutenant SCHULTZ notified Coroner
KLEINDIENST. Morgue Attendant STONE went to the river and dragged from 10 o'clock to 11:30, when he came in contact
with the body. STONE was informed by a man who said he was camping near the scene of the drowning that the stranger
rocked the boat. This man said he jumped into a boat and rowed out on the river, but was too late.
The drowned man was nearly 50 years old. He wore a coat and vest of striped goods. The trousers were of dark material.
He had a blue shirt, a white collar with "M" on it, and a handkerchief also marked "M." In
the pockets were found 60 cents, a gold watch and a white-handled knife. The man wore a gray mustache.
