INDICATING THE DEAD.
Mrs. Baker Will Not Allow Her
Dead Husbands Name Traduced.


New YORK, April 23.-The fami-
ly OF Frederick Baker, after suffer-
ing the Obloquy thrown on the
dead mans name and reputation
through the robbery of the Nation
al Shoe and Leather bank by Sam
uel Seeley, have come forward to
claim a hearing. On advice OF
friends they have chosen this time
as favorable to their purposes. The
public mind has been again direct
ed to the affairs of the National
Shoe and Leather bank by reason
OF the discovery that Seeley's
brother-in-law, Samuel Aymar,
clerk in the bank, is also a default
er. Mrs. Baker called on Vice
President Hiltner at the bank and
asked him to refrain from dragging
Mr.. Bakers name into the present
affair. He promised.he.wOuld re.
frain. Mrs. Baker then called on
Mayor Strong and asked what she
should do to bring her late hus-
bands case before the New York
police authorities. The mayor re-
ferred her to Police Commissioner
Andrews. She declared to Mayor
Strong she was anxious for a full
investigation. Important disclos.
ures are held in reserve, it is said,
by the Baker family. When these
facts are ultimately produced they
hope to be able to demonstrate the
innocence of Mr.. Baker.
