Parties at the table with me were talking about the fight in Capitol park
 The witness then drew diagram of the drug store and persons in 1t at the time of the shooting. He stated that when the shooting started he pushed one of the men at the table out of the way brushed two others over on the floor and started out of the store.

 q met him on Twentieth street but not by appointment. I was with Bob War nook at the time we met Robertson, hav- ing been with him for some little time. We had been to some of the moving pie ture shows. I heard there was going to be fist fight and was going to Capitol park to see 1t. I overheard the arrange ments when they were being made. This was near the corner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street." In reply to the question put by Attorney Allen, Isn't it a fact that you, Jim Noble.

Samuel Baker of Cambridge

Currently Reported in West

is NOW SERVING IN THE
U. S. REGULAR ARMY.
Story Went, That He Fell Heir
To Large Estate and Was
Murdered by Designing Per-
sons Who Wanted Share.

Cambridge City people learned today
for the first time facts concerning the
the disappearance last June of Samuel
Baker, well-hnown young man who
had made his home with relatives
near Cambridge City. Instead of being
1t has been ascertained that Baker
is alive and well and serving the flag
IN one of the regular army regiments
Last summer shortly after Baker
had disappeared. it was learned that
the young man on attaining his major
ity would come into possession of a
falr-siZed estate When his twenty
1lrst birthday arrived no one could
supply any information concerning his
Whereabouts. AS a result a story was
circulated that Baker had been muir
dered so that other parties could Sc
cure his money and that the body had
been placed in an old well.
This story reached the ears of Pros.
ecutor Jessup and he made an inves-
tigation, but found that the murder
theory was nothing but a myth Since
that time the story that Bakers body
was at the bottom of an old we'll near
the ulrich farm has been frequently
revived and each time the we'll has
been examined with unsatisfactory re-
suits. Consequently when it was
learned today that Baker was enjoying
good heolth in the regular army. the
Cambridge City people heaved a sigh
Of relief.

the petition received for pardon for
Caleb Powers following the disagree

clemency. Powers friends hope, how
ever, to influence the governor with
petitions which are being circulated
all over Kentucky and which Will be
signed in other states.
The ten jurors who voted to acquit
Powers believe also that James B.
