ator Bailey. The fight against him,
based uponlthe charge that he had re-
ceived money from the Wsters.Pierce

have been too intimate and cordial, sp-
parently has not had the effect expected.
Mr.. Bailey's explanations of his dealing
With the oil company have been frank
and straightforward. lie has admitted
accepting employment as IN attorney
from the president Of the organization,
bat has denied emphatieslly that bis
services we're enlisted in the cause Of the

ton that the charges against him were

Mr. Brooks stIllin jail .

Especial Dispatch to the alexandria Gazette
Winchester, vs.. Jan. There are
no new DEVELOPMENTS today in the sepsa-
tional attempt of A. Powell Brookes, the
Alexandria society man who shot Mrs.
Alexander NJ Baker. Afr. Brookes Is
still in Jail, bail having been refused him
az il was alleged at the bearing that he
would renew his attempt TO kill Mrs.
Baker at:lhe Grst oppOrlun y For this
reason 1t was deemed inadyisable for the
young man to be at large. 1t is now
claimed 10 some quarters there are doubts
il Brookes can be punished for his at
tempt at shooting as he was contined at
a hospital at the time lie attempted
to shoot Mrs Baker. aud was entitled to
the protection of the Institution from the
visit of Mrs. Baker who had called for
the purpose Of taking the young man to
task for bis recent wild career. Brookes
will probably be examined as 10 his
sanity. He had been acting queerly
since his visits began here some ten days
ago and after annoying Mrs. Baker and
her young daughter, by his repeated
visits to the house, friends had him
placed in the hospital for treatment.
When Mrs. Baker and her daughter
called there to see Brookes, the latter
after few moments conversation sud
denly reached under his pillow and pull
ing out a revolver aimed it full in Mrs.
Bakers face aud pulled the trigger twice.
For some reason ii failed to explode and
before the man could shoot again Miss
Virginia Baker threw herself between
him and her mother, throwing the hand
aside. Their cries brought assistance
and Brookes was later taken to jail.
Mrs.. Baker and her daughter have left
town to avoid the notoriety which the
affair has brough: upon them.
