ROSSITER RECEIVES A THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE GORDON MALT CO. An order of discontinuance and settlement in the claim of Mrs. Richard Rossiter of 23 Murray St. against the Gordon Malt Co. was filed with Surrogates Clerk Torrey A. Ball last Wednesday afternoon by E.B. Powell Attorney for Mr. Gordon. Richard Rossiter, a maltster was caught in a piece of machinery while at work a the plant early last summer and so badly injured that he died *2 days later. A few weeks ago a petition was filed with the Surrogate by Cullinan and Bartlett, Attorneys for Mrs. Rossiter asking that letters of Administration be issued to her. The petition set forth the fact that there was no property or assets except a claim for $10,000.00 against the Gordon Malting Co. for the death of Mr. Rossiter. Mr. Bartlett said this morning that a conference at which he was unbidden, held early last week, Mrs. Rossiter unknown to him had signed the order of settlement receiving $1000.00 from the Company. He said that he knew nothing of the settlement until Saturday when he visited the Rossiter home for the purpose of getting Mrs. Rossiters signature to the complaint in the suit which he had been directed to bring. His first intimation ftht the case had been settled, Mr. Bartlett says, was received that day from a son, Lewis Rossiter. He has not yet consulted Mrs. Rossiter as to whether or not further action will be taken.. * Note: Mr. Rossiter died on July 9,1903 shortly after midnight the day of the accident, not 2 days later as reported in the Oswego Palladium Times.
