THE BAKER VERDICT.

AS anticipated in our telegraphic dispatches
yesterday morning the trial of DR.. j. A. F.
Baker at Abingdon, Va, charged with the
poisoning of his wife, has ended in a verdict
of guilty Of murder III the first degree" and
if the verdict is sustained by the higher
court the prisoner will in all likelihood ex-
plate his ofFense with his life.
This is destined to be one of the most cele-
brated cases known TO the criminal annals Of
the State DR.. Baker, becoming infatuated
with Mrs Wyndham X. Gilmer, has his guilty
passion returned, and after five years Of Illicit
intimacy. he and his paramour enter into a
terrible conspiracy for him to murder by
slow poison first his wife and then Mrs Gil
mer's husband in order that they may be mar
RED AS result, Mrs. Baker dies in due time
and is buried, and Mr. Giliner would have met
the same fate had his suspicious not become
aroused in time, which suspicious led TO an
investigation that ended in the discovery Of
the whole plot.
Such diaboiical conspiracies as these are
entirely foreign TO Virginia. We sometimes
read of them in European capitals and in
our Northern and Western papers, but in
Virginia and the South such cold-blooded
fendishness is happily rarely heard of.
What adds to the general interest in the
case is the high social position in the commu-

nor anything else when crime has been con-
