Defendants prevail in false arrest suit over 1925 incident
A Washington county jury awarded Harry S. Baker $5,000 against former Sheriff Richard Duffy and Deputy Samuel C. Kaylor for an alleged false arrest on May 4, 1925. The suit, originally filed in Washington county, was removed here. Baker was arrested without a warrant and released when the error was found, with the case ending late Friday afternoon after testimony from four witnesses for Baker and eleven for the defendants. The matter involved a horse theft report near Hagerstown and a mistaken arrest at Baker’s Locust street home.
