SLIPPED FROM
HIS CAPTORS
At THE FERRY
Willard Baker Again
a Fugitive.

Willard f. Baker. who is wanted in BOs
ton for embezzlement, and who was ap-
pretended in Seattle several days ago,
escaped last night from his captOrs at
the ferry. Up to d late hour he had not
been rearrested.
The crime for which Baker is wanted
was committed about two years ago. He
was a trusted employe of the Adams EN-
press Company, and encouraged by an
other man for whom the police of Bos-
ton are also searching he stole a package
containing $500. As soon as the theft was
discovered Baker disappeared. After con-
siderable trouble he was traced to Seattle
and arrested.
Baker resorted TO every legal technical
ity to save himself from being sent back,
but after stubborn fight he was finally
turned over to Captain Dugan and Detec-
tive MorriSey of the Boston police.
Last Wednesday the prisoner, accom-
panied by the two officers, arrived in this
city. Baker was at once taken TO the city
Prison and locked up preparatory to his
return to the scene of his crime.
Shortly after O'Clock last evening the
officers took their prisoner and started
with him for the ferry. intending to catch
the Eastern overland. After reaching
the ferry MOrriSey went to get a cigar
leaving Baker. who was not manacled, ,
with Dugan. During his temporary alb

BAKERS TOOLS
ARE EXEMPTED
FROM SEIZURE
The Point Decided by
Judge De Haven.
JEWELERS. SAFES ARE: SAFE
MIXERS OF DOUGH- NEED NOT
FEAR ATTACHMENT.
Even if They Employ Journeymen,
Their Rolling Pins and Other
Implements Are Immune
Against Creditors.
JEWELERS. SAFES ARE: SAFE
MIXERS OF DOUGH- NEED NOT
FEAR ATTACHMENT.

In the matter of John Petersen bank
rupt, United States District Judge de Ha-
ven yesterday rendered an opinion that
will be of great interest TO mechanics and
artisans. as well as to their creditors.
Petersen is a baker, and under sections
and Il of the bankruptcy act and sec
ton $50 of the Code of Civil Procedure
he claimed as exempt the mOlds, trian-
giles. sfeves. benches. rolling pins and
other portable utensils of his trade, val
ued at 500. The testimony showed that
Petersen employed journeymen bakers to
assist him and that they used these
tools, and that journeymen bakers car
ried no tools or implements with them,
nor were they expected to provide them
when employed.
Bankruptcy Referee Green found that
the articles mentioned were not the tools
or implements of mechanic or artisan,
and denied Peterson's claim TO exemption.
Judge de Haven quoted an authority to
the effect that a jewelers. safe owned by
the debtor and used in his business a
a ieweler and watch repairer was exempt
from execution as an implement of his
trade. The Judge said that he was of
the opinion that Petersen was entitled
to have the articles set aside as exempt.
The fact that journeymen bakers carry
no tools or implements with them, and
are not expected to provide such when
employed, does not affect the question in
VOlVed
It-is apparent that the articles claimed
by Petersen are of small value, the Judge
added, and it cannot be assumed that any
one of them is not necessary for the use
of the bankrupt in following his ocCupa
ton as a baker simply because he may
have employed others to assist him in the
use of such articles. Under the statute of
this State the tools and implements that
may be properly claimed by an artisan
a 5 necessary in carrying on his trade are
not in all cases limited to such only as
he personally uses while so engaged, but
may include tools and implements used
by others whom 1t is reasonably neces-
sary for him to employ to assist in his
work and in order that the same may be
prosecuted conveniently and in the usual
or ordinary way in which the business of
such trade is conducted.
1t must be understood, qualified the
Judge that a baker would not be entitled
to utensils and implements in number
sufficient to carry on an extensive busl-
ness. in the prosecution of which his own
labor would be relatively a small factor,
and Of little value when compared with
the capital invested or the labor OF oth-
ers employed therein.
Petersen was engaged in following the
ordinary occupation of a baker on his
own account. and not as a journeyman.
Therefore the tools and implements nee
essary to enable him TO carry on his trade
are exempt notwithstanding the fact that
he may have employed others TO assist
him in doing the work incident TO the
bakery conducted by him.

THE ALLEGED PoIsoNER.
Prosecution Has Established Several
Damaging Facts Against Mrs.
Minnie Adams

The prosecution in the Minnie Adams
poisoning case is about ready to close.
During the trial it has been shown by
the State that the night before the
strange death of her infant son. John
Richard Gray. the defendant purchased
three-ouI,ce phial of carboic acid from
the store at Geary and DeVisadero streets;
that she told the father of the child that
she would let the baby drink the acid
if perchance he found it; that she had
a cape in her possession the night she
bought the poison, notwithstanding her
denial and that she kept carbolic acid
in her house at various times, a fact
which she denies. These facts seem to
constitute the case against the woman;
The most important witness on the
stand yesterday was Lena Kenny. Miss
Kenny testified that she gave the cape,
said TO have been worn by the accused
the night she purchased the poison, to a
daughter of Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Adams
had requested her not to testify to the
fact, for what reason she did not know.
This was all she could tell and she was
excused.
Sergeant Duke, Oliver T. Cox and Dr.
H. A Niemeyer were recalled for fur
ther examination on minor points, after
which the case went over until this morn
ing.
