detail another inspector to proceed to
Lake City, S. c., and assist Mr.. Moye, who
arrived there last night to conduct the
investigation into the murder of Postmas-
ter Baker and the burning Of the post
office
A singular coincidence i'm the case Of
Baker is that on February 2lst, the day
Of the night on which he was murdered,
he wrote a letter to the POst-Office De-
partment, saying that his life had been
threatened, and asking that the govern
ment extend some protection to him. This
letter came TO hand yesterday evening.
Senator McLaurin. OF South Carolina,
was among Postmaster-Gen Gary's
callers to-day and expressed horror at
the crime in which Baker lost his life.
He asked that the department use every
means at its command TO discover the
perpetrators of the outrage, and assured
General Gary that he would do every
thing is his power TO assist him.
dispatch was received from Inspector
Move. at Lake City this evening saying
that he was pursuing the investigation
directed by the department. There was
no clue TO the perpetrators, and no part
of the house property had been recovered
The grand jury. which Is investigating
the crime. had adjourned until Saturday
Postmaster General Gary has called the
attention of the officials OF the Depart
ment Of Justice TO the matter. with a
view to the apprehension and conviction

Mr. Julian Bryant, counsel for Cadet-
Captain G. Percy Hawes. of this city, re-
ferring last night to the verdict of the
court Of inquiry printed in yesterday $
Dispatch, says:
81 do not like to fight my case through
the newspapers. and have not said any
thing I'm regard TO this matter except
when il was made plain TO me that a
correction Of an erroneous report. which
had in some manner gotten abroad, was,
I'm common fairness, due TO my client.
"The first impressions made upon our
minds by publication or otherwise, un-
less counteracted promptly, are after a
time hard TO remove. 1t was not my pur-
pose to have anything appear I'm the pa
pers until the case was concluded, the
proceedings so far had having been en-
tirely onesided. We did not put on q
witness. because of the arbitrary ruling
of the court in refusing TO let US proceed
as seemed to us only fair, but excepted
to the ruling Of the court and appealed to
the Board of Visitors. which has been
called to meet very soon to consider our
case.
''The findings of the court Of inquiry,
which were sent your paper from Lexing-
ton. while very mild and In the main
favorable 10 Cadet Hawes, are still very
unfair to him. inasmuch as 1t Is not a
full and clear exculpation OF him. What
he has done is deserving only of praise,
as we will at the proper time show"

Neither the officers of the court of in

strict reticence.
