Baxter, whose wife was killed when his sedan was struck bj a truck last Sunday, sent word to the inquest Thursday morning ask ing that the young driver of the -truck be held blameless. •Mr. Baxter is at his home, 6014 Capitol avenue, recovering from the shock and cuts on the face. JIls law partner, Norris Brown, appeared for him, “Judge Baxter feels this was one of those accidents for which nobody can he blamed,'' said Mr. Brown. “He tells me he talked with the young man and was thoroughly satisfied with his honesty and good faith and he doesn't think he should be made to answer..’’ This unusual request was respond ed to by the jury, which quickly rendered a verdict of "unavoidable accident" and recommended that Jerry Stoker, the truck driver, be re loused. This was done by order of the county attorney. Inquest was held by Coroner Paul Stelnwender at the Burket funeral home. Miss Mary Fitch, who was thrown from the car. is still in Lord Lister hospital.

At the next stop they managed to open the car and discovered that 10 hags of registered mall were missing. They at once notified C. H.
