VAST BUT MYTHICAL ESTATE.
About 5000 People Said to Have
Been Duped by Local arm.

Pittsburg, June 9.-Attorney w. j.
Jordan today brought to light some
new facts concerning the alleged Baker
estate in Philadelphia, said to be val
ued at $3S0,000,0 900. He claims that in
1889 he was engaged to hunt up the
records and the heirs in this case and
tells a sensational story regarding a
bunco game that was worked on fully
5000 people by a gang of sharpers in
Philadelphia. He claims the estate is
a myth; that the people who now claim
to be heirs or relatives of Jacob Baker
or Colonel Henry Baker are being fool
ed, as no such parsonage existed.
The story of the Baker estate, Mr..
Jordan said, originated in the vivid
imagination of a Philadelphia reporter,
and 1t was spread over the country by
some lawyers, who have made consider
able money out of the alleged heirs.
AS heirs claiming Colonel Henry
Bakers heirs, all these people, or many
of them, thought they would gain
possession of 5000 acres, about 200 of
which is now Fairmount park. The
balance lies, according to the story, on
Broad and Walnut streets, and, OF
course has an enormous value. The
United States mint, it was at first as
serted, was built on the land, and many
of the heirs claimed that independence
Hall was also on the ground that was
originally theirs.

and when turning away from the door
the second time she heard Schultz
shout: "Oh, my God, Lizzie is shot"

| the 13-year-old son of the prisoner. cor
| roborated Mrs. Wohlfort's testimony.
| The son also testified he was with his
mother picking grapes when she saw
| Schultz and sent the witness across the
| field to tell Schultz that he should be
| known as his uncle. Schultz refused
and went to the house and asked ac-
commodation. Friday and Saturday
nights witness slept with his mother
as usual but on Sunday Schultz asked
him to change places. Almost all of
tMonday, the boy Paul and his father
| were alone in the room where Mrs.
| Schultz lay. Paul saw Schultz take
| Mrs. Schultzs' hand in both of his and
force her hand closer around the pis-
| tol and lay it across her breast.
