Deadbeat dad of 1918
New Jersey Courier 12 Sep 1918 Because he failed, or as he claims, he could not support his two children, John Baggett of Lakewood is serving six months in the county jail, on complaint of Wm. A. Doherty, superintendent of St. Michael's Aid Society of Trenton. The children are Charles, aged nine years, and Margaret, aged six years. In 1916, Baggett served 121 days in the county jail on the same charge. He claims he made $12 a week working steady, and paid $7 for board. What he had left he now says he was willing to pay toward the support of his children, but he said they were satisified with that. Meantime the taxpayers are supporting him in idleness for six months, the country at large has lost one working man when men are most needed, he is now able to contribute nothing towards the support of his children, and there must be a screw loose somewhere. He ought to be made to work and support his children and himself.

"I feel terribly sorry for the families of James and Shuck. No one has any idea of my sympathy for them. "But as for the men themselves, their conscience must be racked by the knowledge that their days seem to be numbered, and their end will be the electric chair. I cannot say I want to see them die as murderers. I cannot move myself to voice such an expression. "I cling to ...

Paul, the bank messenger whose body was found in a shallow grave in the pines of this county last fall, was commenced in the Camden county court on Monday.

James, who earlier was convicted of murder in the first degree for his part in the dastardly murder and is now awaiting sentence.Shuck, dapper and apparently confident of escaping the electric chair, sat beside his counsel, J. Russell Carrow, while the jury was being selected and appeared to take a keen interest in the selection of the talesmen. Frequently he leaned over to confer with his lawyer as though to offer suggestions as to the acceptabil...
