He went to Rochester, New York, about 1860, and there interested Aristarchus Champion, an aged, wealthy, and somewhat eccentric man, in three schemes--the Union book company, with a capital of 83,000,000, an International Bank, with a capital of many millions' and a vast manufacturing corporation.

Champion furnished capital in the form of notes and mortgages to the amount of 851,475. Saxton established a magazine mid visited Europe as the general agent of the company, but after a time Champion grew suspicious, and had him arrested and indicted for false pretences, he was brought to trial, 8 December, 1863, cow, rioted, sentenced to Auburn prison, 31 December, for three years, and served out his full term.
