one OF the sllanties and, according to the
evidence which was produced in the hear
ing before hIagistra te Lewis Nash struck
Baker with an axe, INJECTING q severe
wound in the head.
The trouble grew out Of the fact that
Baker, who was sitting In doorway.
would not move and give the other negro
more room to pass, whereupon he pro-
cured the instrument and inflicted the
wound Magistrate Lewis sent the negro
on to the grand jury, and he has been In
Jail since that time. waiting to appear be-
fore that tribunal.
He was informed yesterday oflthe death
OF Baker, and seemed little concerned over
