Physician Baxter Convicted for Morphine Sale at Workhouse
Dr. Charles F. Baxter, once a city physician on Blackwell's Island, was found guilty yesterday in Special Sessions of selling morphine in the workhouse. Susan Daniels testified she received marked bills from investigators to buy drugs, and Baxter's alibi failed under cross examination. The case follows the new city law aimed at isolating drug users in custody and setting penalties for possessing habit forming drugs.

Grant replies to wife in suit for support
Dessee Hyrirat filed in the County Clerk's office yesterday his answer to the suit for support brought by his wife Mrs. Eliziéth Grant. The complaint alleged an income of 5400 yearly from trust funds and a separate rental income of 100 a month, with no share for Mrs. Grant. Grant admitted small payments recently but said the 100 monthly rent is for a house he owns in California and that she has a 2100 yearly income apart from rent. He claimed rental income and that after separation he invited her to return and promised support remains valid.
