James Root was charged with being drunk and riotous and attempting to rescue Baxter from the custody of the police. A young woman named Emma West was charged with being a riotous prostitute. It seemed that Baxter was fighting with another man in Hog Lane, Fore Street, early on Sunday morning, and as he continued riotous Policeman Smith took him into custody. When proceeding along the street Root and West attempted to rescue Baxter, who was very violent, and assaulted Police-man Smith. The Magistrate, after some deliberation, convicted Baxter of both offences, and ordered him to pay a fine of 1s and 9s costs in each case, in default, seven days imprisonment. West was committed to prison for seven days for the attempt to recuse. Root was fined 1s and 10s costs, in default seven days, for being drunk and riotous, and for attempting to rescue, 5s and 10s costs, in default seven days’ imprisonment.

William Baxter (1845 – 1909)

William has three cousins called William all born at around the same time, hopefully I have identified the correct William. This William never marries and settles in Loddon, which is close to Wortwell where brother Thomas spent some time. Like Thomas, William is a Miller.

The Ipswich Journal	21 Nov 1871	Halesworth Petty Session Monday November 20th H. Paddall Wangford v E Baxter and S Plumb – Action to recover the value of a pig. Plaintiff said that on the 19th of October he went out with his wife and family and left him man W Baxter (Linstead) to mind the premises. While he was away the two defendants came to his house and took a fat pig out of the sty, he went to Baxter’s the next morning about it, but found it was killed and the two defendants had taken it to Lowestoft. He left word with Baxter’s mother that if he did not come and make arrangement he should enter an action against him. Wm Baxter* plaintiff’s man said the defendants came and took the pig while his master was out, but although left in charge he did not consider it any concern of his. The defendant Plumb, said he was authorised by plaintiff to sell the pig, and sold it to Baxter for £4 10s. The money was left with a woman in charge. Plaintiff denied authorising defendant to sell the pig for him and said the money was never given him by the woman of the house. The defendant Baxter said he went with Plumb and bought the pig of him for £4 10s. His Honour said they had no right to take the pig away in Plaintiffs absence and gave judgement for £5 to be paid in 14 days.

The Ipswich Journal	29 Oct 1892	Petty Session Halesworth James Balls, of Cratfield, innkeeper, was charged with having on the 18th ult. At Cratfield, kept open his licensed premises for the sale if intoxicating liquors during prohibited hours…. Robert Bryanton, Robert Warner, Richard Segsby, Henry Segsby, James Baxter, Henry Tacon, William Chandler, Charles Wright, Samuel Freeman, and William Segsby, labourers; Arthur Girling, carpenter; Henry Balls and James Balls, blacksmiths, all of Cratfield, were charged with being on the above premises on the same day during prohibited hours. – All pleaded guilty except Wright and W. Segsby, and each were fined 14s, including costs, or seven days. Six paid, and time was allowed to the others. – The charge against Wright and Segsby was dismissed.- Mr. Tuck defended, by whose advice the defendants pleaded guilty.
Framlingham Weekly News	07 Sep 1901	SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST CRATFIELD LABOURER A Home Of Filth At Halesworth Session on Thursday, before F. F. Badington Esq (chairman), and A. J. Smith, Esq., James Baxter, labourer, Cratfield, was charged with cruelty to his child. Rosa Baxter, aged 13, by neglecting her in such a manner as to prejudice the child’s health. Defendant, said Mr. Cowl, the prosecuting solicitor, was a widower, and the girl had been sleeping in the same bedroom as her father, under circumstances which were of a revolting character. The bedroom was in an almost indescribably filthy state, and was not fit for human habitation. Mr. Cowl explained that the girl was subject to fits, and under these circumstances it was very necessary the girl should have the best possible surroundings. The medical gentleman who had seen the girl at the request of the Society’s Inspector, was of the opinion that the conditions under which the girl was living were likely to contribute to a frequent recurrence of the fits. This girl when examined was in a verminous and filthy state. The defendant had been well able to support his child, but had preferred to spend his earnings, amounting to 13s a week, mostly in drink. Defendant always returned home in a state of intoxication, and his daughter suffered thereby. Inspector Crawley, in a detailed description of defendant’s home, which was in a horrible state of neglect, said it was apparent no attempts had been made to cleanse the place for months. Everywhere was filth and dirt, and the stench that was produced in consequence was unbearable, not only to anyone entering the house, but even to defendant’s next door neighbour, who had been compelled to make complaints. The defendant had no excuse to offer, and pleading guilty, was sentenced to a month’s hard labour.

The Ipswich Journal	31 May 1884	Petty Sessions: Saxmundham Thursday May 29th Larceny George Ernest Newman, Harry Peek, and William Beckett, all of Halesworth, were charged with having, on the 22nd inst., feloniously stolen half a pint of gin, half a pint of brandy, and five ounces of tobacco, the property of Robert Buxton(sic), of Halesworth, innkeeper. – Prisoners were all in the bar on the day named, at about three o’clock. At that time the bar door had been locked by Baxter, his wife being absent at the time. The prisoners left the bat and came into the kitchen and had some beer and left the house. Baxter shortly after found the bar door open, and noticed the handle off the cash drawer. On the wife’s return she missed the gin, brandy, and tobacco. Information was given to the police, and the prisoners were apprehended and tobacco found upon Newman and Beckett, and Peek went into the stable at the Angel, and afterwards tobacco was found in a manger therein, answering the description of that lost from Baxter’s house. They could give no account for the possession of it, and all were found guilty, and sentenced to a month’s imprisonment with hard labour.

Miss Ivy Giles, as bridesmaid, was dressed in white muslin, and carried a pretty basket of flowers. Mr. Kay Ford acted as best man. The Rev. S.

Numerous Papers	12 Feb 1903	Tragedy at Norwich Murder and Suicide At Norwich last night an ex-soldier named Jas. Cook of Saxmundham, after taking his sweetheart, Ellen Baxter, a cook, out for a walk, shot her twice in the back of her head with a revolver on reaching her employer’s garden, and afterwards shot himself himself. The shots were heard by the family, who found both lying dead on the garden path. The girl had given notice to leave her employment, and was to be married to Cook in April. Cook went through the South African war and was thrown from his horse, undergoing three operations. It is stated he had been discharged from his situation at Saxmundham on Monday.
Derby Telegraph	14 Feb 1903	NORWICH TRAGEDY INQUEST AND VERDICT The coroner’s jury at Norwich on Friday viewed the bodies of Ellen Baxter and James Everett Cook, victims of the terrible tragedy at Norwich on Wednesday evening. Evidence showed that the couple had been keeping company for a considerable time and were contemplating marriage. Cook had served in the war in South Africa, and whilst there met with a serious accident which necessitated certain operations. Since his return to England he had been living at Saxmundham, and paid weekend visits to Norwich. He went there last Saturday, left on Monday, and returned again on Wednesday. At that time there was a strangeness about his manner. The couple went out in the evening, and about ten o’clock reports of firearms were heard, and a little later the two were found lying dead in the garden of the girl’s employer. The evidence showed that the man had not been discharged from his place of employment. He suffered from alternate fits of excitement and depression. A verdict of “Wilful murder and suicide while temporally insane,” was returned.
Driffield Times	21 Feb 1903	An inquiry has been held concerning the death of Ellen Baxter, a cook in a gentleman’s family, and James Everitt Cook, navvy and ex-soldier, living at Saxmundham, whose dead bodies were found on Wednesday night last week in the grounds of Baxter’s employer in Newmarket-Road, Norwich. Cook had visited his sweetheart and had gone for a walk with her. On returning at ten o’clock at night he shot her in the head from behind, and then put three bullets through his own head. There were no signs of a struggle and no evidence as to the motive, for the parties had been on the best of terms. It was stated that Cook had been sometimes strange in his manner since he returned from Africa, where he was in the Field Artillery. He had had enteric fever, and an accident that necessitated three operations. Over £10 were found in his pockets
21 Feb 1903	Norfolk Chronicle	THE NEWMARKET-ROAD TRAGEDY. INQUEST ON ELLEN BAXTER. The inquest on the body of Ellen Baxter, 24, domestic servant, lately living at Rivington, Newmarket-road, Norwich, was held on Friday week at the Waterman public-house, King-street, by the City Coroner, Mr. R. W. Ladell. Mr. Winch, Chief Constable, was present as representing the police. William Robert Baxter, agricultural labourer, Rendham, Suffolk, deposed: I identify the body just viewed by the jury as that of my sister, Ellen Baxter. She was 23 years of age last birthday. For six years past she has been in the service of Mr. R. J. Read, Newmarket-road, Norwich and had enjoyed fairly good health. I knew she was engaged to James Everett Cooke, and had been so for four years, during which time they seemed to be very comfortable together. Cooke had seen service in South Africa, and went out some three years ago, returning in September last. I have never heard them speak of their approaching marriage, as I have only seen Cooke once since his return from South Africa. Ethel Mary Payne, domestic servant, in the employ of Mr. Read, said that deceased, Ellen Baxter was in the same service. Deceased had the enjoyment of very good health and was always very steady person. Witness also knew that she was engaged James Everett Cooke. Deceased said to witness that she met Cooke at her brother’s wedding at Badingham Suffolk, four years ago. Witness remembered Baxter telling her that Cooke had to go out to South Africa with the regiment to which was attached. The Coroner: When did go out?—He was out there two years and nine months, and came home last August. Since his return home have you heard Ellen Baxter say anything about the probability of getting married?—Yes, sir. I only know she was to leave Mrs. Read in April and get married afterwards. Was there any contemplation of their getting married some time since?—No, sir. I thought she was going to leave and get married directly he came home. But it was postponed?—Yes. Have you heard Baxter say why it was postponed?— She said she would not get married until he obtained constant work and got settled. Was there anything said about the condition of his health? –She told me that while he was out in South Africa his hair all came off. Did he meet with an accident?—He went into hospital while he was out there, suffering from an accident he received. Since his return home has he made frequent visits to the deceased at Mr. Read’s house?—Yes. Have you seen them together?—Yes. Where did he stay during his visit?—At Mrs. Hipper’s, Melrose-road. I have seen him four times since his return. He and Baxter always seemed to be on very friendly terms. On last Wednesday, about half-past 6 in the evening, you heard some knocking at the back door?—Yet, sir. Did you go to the door?—No, sir; the other girl went, Ellen Baxter. Did you know at that time who it was knocking at the back door?—No, sir; I did not. What did Ellen Baxter do?— She closed the middle door after her when she went out, and after few minutes I heard some laughing, and thought it was Cooke. Did you go to the door?—I opened the middle door and saw Cooke standing just below the bottom step. Did you say anything to him? – I said, “Good evening, Mr. Cooke, what are you here for?” This was an unusual visit. Did he make any reply to the observation you made?—No, sir. He did not enter into conversation with you, at all?—No, not like always did. He did not shake hands with you?—No, sir. Did you notice anything unusual or peculiar his manner?—Only that I noticed his face was very red, and appeared excited. After you had seen Cooke what next took place?—They went outside in conversation with each other for a quarter of hour or 20 minutes. When Ellen Baxter came back after this interview with Cooke, did you notice anything peculiar or strange about her?—No, sir, not all. Did she appear excited?—No, sir, no more than usual. She seemed happy about it. She was always of a bright, cheerful temperament?—Yes, sir. Did you say anything to Baxter when she came in?—Yes, sir; I asked where her sweetheart was. What did she say?–She said out the road waiting until she went out. Did you make any remark to Baxter as to Cooke paying this unusual visit?—l said,” Whatever is he here for to-night?” She said, “It’s all up now.” Did she give any reason?—I thought he had left the railroad, and was not going back again. You did not think it was a break up of the engagement?—No, sir; I did not think that. After this, the deceased Ellen Baxter and Cooke went out for the evening?—Yes, sir. Mrs. Anne Elisabeth Hipper deposed: I live on Melrose-road, and have known the deceased man Cooke since last September. He used to stay with me from the Saturday night till Monday wonting. I knew that was engaged to the girl. He has paid four visits altogether, and the last time was on Saturday. He stayed till Monday morning, when left about 11.30. Did say anything unusual?—He said, “Good-bye, for the last time,” and I replied “Yes, before marriage.” He said, “Yes.” I told him that I would be very pleased to see them at any time. Had you known Baxter for some time?—Yes, she always seemed to be a very nice person. It did not occur to you that “the last time ” meant other than a reference to the marriage?—l took it to be the last time before marriage, and not in any other way. A Juryman: Did he seem excited when he left on Monday?–He seemed rather quieter than usual. Was he in a depressed state?—No, but he did not talk so much, as he had done before. I, however, had no particular conversation with him. William Mack Fisher, tin worker, 37, Marlborough-road, said that shortly after 10 o’clock on Wednesday night he was on Newmarket-road near Mile End-road. He was cycling in company with Mr. Rich. How far would Mile End-road be from “Rivington”?—About 100 yards. You were riding with Mr. Rich. Did you dismount or come to the halt?—Yes, sir, Rich’s light was going out and I said: “You had better put it right before we get into the city.” We both dismounted and while were adjusting the light we heard report. Then we heard a second shot. Then there seemed a lapse of about 5 or 10 seconds, and then we heard a third. Hearing this unusual noise, what did you do?—I said to friend ” There is another fir,” I thought it was report of fire in the city. Did you hear more than three?—There were four altogether, but I noticed the third partly on account of the lapse of time. What did you do?—l said to him perhaps it is one of the 2nd Norfolks home, and they are holding festivities. We rode on, and I looked over the hedge and saw a flicker of light at “Rivington.” I said “Perhaps it here. Let’s get off and have a look.” We looked through the gate, still looking upwards. All at once I cast my eyes down, and saw a woman lying here (indicating a spot on the plan). I noticed a straw hat. I said, “There is a woman here” There were three more young fallows, who had just come walking up. I said, “Let’s go inside and see what is up.” We stepped inside, until we were within three feet of woman. I saw a man lying a few feet further, almost in line. His stick and hat were also lying there. I made the remark “There is some deadly work done here. The best thing to do is fetch the police. If you stand close by, I will ride as hard as I can to fetch the first policeman can. I met Sergt. Varley against the Hospital, with three constables. I said, “You are wanted up Newmarket-road. We have heard three or four shots fired, and we have found a man and woman lying close to the trees.” Sergt Varley than took my name and address, and asked me to go the police-station to tell them what I had told him, and to ask them to forward an ambulance. Robert J. S. Read, jun., was next sworn, and stated that Wednesday evening, he, in company with some friends, was in the house and shortly after 10 o’clock, they heard the report of a firearm. Witness heard one report, and then a pause, and then another. That made three shots altogether. What did you do in consequence of these reports?—After the first report, we thought it was a squib. At the third report I said, “Come on, you chaps, let’s go out and see,” and we went out. You went down towards the entrances gates; What did you see?—When we got to the bend in the drive, I saw two bodies lying pretty well as shown on this plan. How were the bodies lying?— Wholly on the grovel path when I saw them. Did yon see anyone else about? Yes I someone at the gate with a bicycle lamp. What were the position of the bodies?—Baxter was lying on her back, and the man was his face with his knees bent. As far as you could see they were both dead?— They were motionless and apparently dead. I returned to the house and then telephoned to the police-station. Sergt. Varley came shortly after, and Dr. Mills subsequently. Sergt. Varley, of Norwich Constabulary, said: At 10.10 last Wednesday night I was informed that man and woman wen lying; shot dead, in a drive at the end of the trees on Newmarket-road, which I afterwards found to be “Rivington.” I went to spot indicated, and found the bodies of man and woman lying on the drive, and both dead. The body of the: woman was 15 yards from the entrance gate, and that the man 16 feet further off, on the other side of the woman. The woman was on her back and the man on his face. The bodies were removed to the mortuary on the police ambulance. While I was there the body of the woman was identified as that of a servant in Mr. Read’s employment. I found the revolver produced lying close to the man’s left hand. I examined it, and found that it contained four discharged cartridges and two loaded cartridges in the chambers. From the appearance of one of the loaded cartridges I think it must have missed fire, as the cap was slightly scratched as if it had been hit by the hammer. Is it of any particular make?—lt is an army service revolver but does not bear the Government stamp, which is broad arrow with “W.D ” underneath. Did you find anything else?—ln the right-hand pocket of Cooke’s overcoat I found 43 loaded cartridges (produced), and these bear no Government stamp. All the cartridges will fit the revolver. I found a walking-stick bearing the name “J. E. Cooke” lying close by the body of the man. On searching the body I found a bag purse containing £10 in gold, and there were 10s. 4d. silver and bronze money in the trousers’ pockets. I also found a silver witch and two chains, and in the inside jacket pocket was a letter (produced) addressed “Mr. James Cooke, care of Mrs. Self, Church-lane, St Matthew’s, Ipswich.” The Coroner said the letter was not dated, but the envelope bore the date, “22 Jan., 03,” end it was supposed to be written to “My own darling Jim, from your ever loving sweetheart, Nellie.’ Sergt. Varley said that Inspector Cooper and he had examined the letter, but found nothing in it bearing on the motive for this crime. What did you find on the body of the woman?– Two pocket handkerchiefs, a silver brooch, and a pair of gloves. There was gold ring on the third finger the left hand. The Chief Constable said that bundle of letters was found in the girl’s room, but they had no bearing on the case. The Coroner, in summing up, said he thought the jury would gather from the evidence that had been adduced that no one else was concerned in relation to the death of that woman, but the deceased man Cooke. There did not seem any evidence of any quarrel between them, nor was there any sign of a scuffle. He thought the only verdict they could give in such case that was one wilful murder against James Cooke. The jury promptly returned verdict “Wilful murder” against James Cooke.
Framlingham Weekly News	21 Feb 1903	THE LATE ELLEN BAXTER OF BADINGHAM Scene At The Funeral Of The Murdered Girl It would not be possible to realise a sadder or more touching scene than, that which was witnessed in the village of Badingham, near Framlingham, on Sunday afternoon last, when the body of Ellen Baxter, the victim of the first of the two recent Norwich murders, was interred in the Churchyard. The remains had been conveyed from Norwich to the home of the deceased girl’s parents at Badingham on the previous day. The route from the humble village home so ruthlessly plunged into grief to the church – a distance of nearly two miles – was lined on either side with sorrowing parishioners: those who had known the parents as respectable and hardworking people and had lived amongst them and their children all their lives, and those of later years who, with Ellen Baxter and her brothers and sisters, had worked and played side by side in the village school. An ordinary two-wheeled vehicle, in accordance with a primitive custom still in vogue in many villages, served the purpose of a bier; the grief stricken parents and seven brothers and sisters of the deceased girl followed immediately behind in similar conveyances, those lining the route closing up in the rear as the cortege proceeded. The coffin was met at the church gates by the Rector, Rev. Foster S Barry, who conducted the service. The scene at the graveside was pathetic in the extreme, the relatives of the poor girl sobbing piteously, while many of the assembled throng were also moved to tears. Amongst the wreaths was one sent by Mr. and Mrs Robt. J. Read, of Norwich, in whose service Ellen Baxter had been engaged upwards of five years.
