Boston Woman Sues For Five Thousand Over Funds For Children
Mrs. Edith Boucher of Boston files a suit against Joseph W. Griffiths of Lawrence seeking 5000 dollars. She says he refused to return 3000 dollars earned by her children, which she entrusted to him to deposit and hold. From 1802 to 1911 she gave money to Griffiths while living at his Lawrence home and caring for his aged parents in return for a home for her family. She states the funds were to be deposited and asserts Griffiths later refused repayment after his marriage and leaving the house.
