WHY SENATOR-ELECT
BAKER WAS ACQUITTED

Word was received yesterday from,
Kailua that Senator-elect Baker had
been acquitted on indictments for en-
bezzlement by a directed verdict.
Baker is Deputy Sheriff of South
Kona. His duties require that he
prosecute all persons engaged in busi-
ness requiring a license, who do not
secure the required license. BY GUS
tom he receives the license fees and
forwards them to the Treasurer. He
received some fees which he did not
forward. 1t was for this that he was
indicted. The merchant who paid him
the fees stated that he did so sup
losing that it was his duty to pay
the money to Baker and that that was
all he Had to do in regard to his lir
eense, so that Baker was in no sense
the agent for the merchant. The in
dictment charged that he received the
money as the agent of the Territory.
Acting Attorney General Whitney says
that he thinks it entirely probable
that Judge Matthewman held that he
was not the agent of the Territory.
These proceedings against Baker
were begun by the Treasurer and the
Attorney Generals departments, be-
fore Baker became candidate for the
Senate.
