BAXTER, CHARGED
WITH SAND LAKE
MURDER, . c.. ...::' .::.:' !
Prisoner Admits Responsibility
for Atrocious Crime
WORKING AS FARM HAND
Says Wife of Victim Was in no
Way Implicated in Kill
ing of Ciamprone

Troy, June 21-The long and dill
gent hunt by Sheriff Williams, Asas'
tant Distrit Attorney Valentine, and
the officers of their staff, for Clinton
]. Baxter, accused of the murder of
Daniel Ciamprone, at the latter's
camp near West Sand Lake, ended
yesterday afternoon in the capture of
the accused who is now lodged In
the Rensselaer, County Jail.
The search for the fugitive, who
fled after Ciamprone's tragic death,
lead the sheriffs force and that OF
the District Attorneys office, as well
as city detectives and state troopers
to many places.
The capture was finally made on the
farm of John Vadney near the hamlet
Of Feura Bush, not far from Coeymens
about ten miles south OF Albany.
While the sheriff and assistant dis
trict attorney had men securing the
country, and we're in communication
with police officials in many places to
whom they had sent descriptions of
the fugitive, he was working on the
Vadney farm, on which place he found
employment the day after the MUIR
der.
At the close of the third degree"
examination, Assistant District Al
torney Valentine said the accused had
made statement, but just what the
statement contains he was not at
liberty to make known.
II is known, however. that Baxter
admitted striking Ciamprone with
the axe, which is in the possession Of
the authorities. 1t was not stated
by the assistant district attorney
what Baxter said was the cause for
the murderous blow, but It was left
to be clearly inferred that he makes
claim to self defense, and that he did
not strike with premeditation and
intent to kill.
II was admitted by the assistant
district attorney that Baxter declared
that the wife of the murdered man.
whom report says he was infatuated
with. and against whom suspicion has
been directed as an accomplice in
the crime, had no part in 1t. In that
declaration he is said to have been
very clear. but he does not explain
his presence on the premises OF Clam.
prone when the latter returned home
late at night and the murder was
committed. The fact also remains
that, while he makes claim OF self
defense, and that there was a fight
between him and his victim.the lat.
ter was not armed, and not only one
but at least two deadly blows were
given him with the axe. All that
the statement he made contains WILL
of course, not be known until he is
brought to trial after indictment for
murder, but facts relating to his
flight are admitted by the sheriff and
the assistant district attorney.

The Scotia soccer team OF Hoosick

players Memorial day at Hoosick
Falls by a score OF goals to /.
The Scotias presented their regu.
lar lineup but Bennington players
failed to appear and 1t was necessary
for the visitors to so into the game
with only 10 men.
When the game opened Bennington
passed first to Gaily and then to Cru
ickshank, missing excellent chances
at goal. Scotia then assumed the az
gressive but good work by Taggart
and McGregor repelled the advance.
Following a hard bombardment of the
Scotia goal, play was transferred to
the other end OF the field where Whit
tet scored Scotia's first point from
a corner. Whittet son shot another
goal but the point was disputed ow-
ing to previous infringement
against Whittet for hands"
II. Fraser was forced to leave the
game because Of injuries and with
necessary break in the Bennington
line Scotia had not much difficulty in
adding two more goals before half
time.
Bennington began the second half
with only nine men, some of then out
of original positions and soon had
Scotchmens defence worked over
time. Following heavy pressure
Dean counted for Bennington with a
long ssiot Bennington kept up a Wig.
orous attack but failed to score. A
long run by the Scotia left wing re.
suited in a corner against Francis
and Dryburgh and the fifth goal for
Scotia. The game lacked features
other than the courageous defence
put up by Bennington and in this de.
partment of play Taggart starred.

He then explained the rules OF circus
life, illustrating that those who make
their livelihood under the white tops
are subjected to discipline as rigor.
GUS as that in army training camps.
We can't run wild. you know
said Kent, Circus performers must
lead clean lives to survive the con.
stapt travel and long hours. One
has to be full OF pep" always. and
that means good health is imperative.
And as for discipline. You never saw
major who could be half as strict
and eXactlng as the average circus
proprietor. Take Manager Sparks

on every rule of the circus being
rigIdy enforced, knowing Clat such
discipline causes us to live and work
