aire clubman Of Boston, who died OF
poison in the home Of his friend. Frank
Hurd. at Bogota, N. j., has been found.
and its provisions go far toward confirm
ing the belief that he was murdered.
The document. which was discovered In
a trust company vault In Boston,, is in
coherent, but its provisions are plain.
In his will, which Is dated February 10,
Baker leaves 5000 OF the big estate. which
he inherited from his mother, to Mrs.
George w. Young, wife OF Vice President

an hour after the death, has given Dis
trict Attorney Rooster and the Pjnker-
tons much valuable information. His pre-
