Troops at Manchester Fail to Prevent As
sassination of Tom Baker.
BARBoURsv1LLE, KY, June 12.-Since
the change of venue was granted at
Manchester, Clay county, for the Baker
murder trials to be held here i'll the
Knox county courts, this city has been
in a state of excitement. twill be inn
possible in this place, which has pop
ulation of between 1900 and 5000 in
habitants, for such tragedy to occur as
that at the village of Manchester Satur-
day under the shadow of the court,
when Tom Baker, the present defend
ant, was shot dead while prisoner Of
the court. AS Tom Baker had killed
William White, a brother of Sheriff
Beverley White of Clay county, and as
the crowd saw the rifle fired from q
window in the sheriff's office at the
time Baker fell dead into the arms Of
his wife, it is thought that there may
be another trial soon. When Jesse
Barrett turned states evidence last Fri
day, Jim and Dee Baker and Charles
Woolton were released, as we'll as Bar
rett, the confession showing these par
ties were not implicated. The new in
dictments were returned against Tom
Baker and his son Jim, and Wiley
Baker, a brother Of Tom, for killing
Wilson Howard and Burch Storr. The
four defendants were released by Bar
rett's confession and now the fifth by
assassination, leaving only Wiley and
Jim Baker to be transferred to the Jail
here until additional arrangements have
been made at Manchester. Colonel
Williams, who had his battalion and
gatling gun at Manchester the past
week and has done effective work, not
only in quelling the mob Saturday
night and in bringing refugees into
court earlier in the week, but also in
holding back the fighting feudists all
week, was expected here yesterday with
Wiley and Jim Baker, guarded by the
militia.
A special from Manchester says: The
town remains deserted. None Of the
families that fled to the hills Saturday
night have returned. Reinforcements
are coming from the hills to the Whites
and Towards, who are in possession Of
the town. They are exulting fiendishly
over their arch enemy by singing dog
| gerel at the death of Tom Baker.
