bill OF Mr. Hammond, which increased the
salary Of the city engineers IN second class

BAKERS ODD MENTAL STATUS.
Physician says He Was Between "Of Tn
sound Mind" and "NIInd Not sound"

BosToN, April H.. Walter Farnsworth
baker. whose will is the subject Of contest,
took trip to California some years ago with
his mother and DR.. Sherwin Gibbons, and
the physician told all about 1t when he
testified to-day He gave illustrations OF
Bakers vacant mentality and said that he
acted queerly and drank constantly.
DR.. Gibbons made very fine distinction
in Bakers case az TO evidences Of his sanity.
He said there was a vast difference between
a man who was OF unsOund mind and one
whose mind was not sound. Baker didn't
flt in either ca 20; he was midway between.
DR.. Gibbons then said he did not believe
Baker was competent in 1895 to transact
business or competent to comprehend the
making OF a will.
DIR. Gibbons, in the course Of his cross
examination by Attorney Bolles concerning
how he came TO 90 10 the Back Bay station
late at night for the body OF Baker was
asked: Did you talk about his will to the
Hurds and Mrs Young before the body Of
their dead was lifted from the trainl'
lips Of the lawyer than Attorney Nay
leaped to his feet, shouting: Their dead?'
Yes cried Attorney Bolles, the hurds
and Mrs. Young were the only friends
Walter Baker had
sWell, the Lord deliver us from such
friends as they shouted Attorney Nay.
did you hear any statement made by
Mrs. Young in the carriage?' he was asked.
Yes. | asked Mrs. Young how Walter
left his business Affairs. She said she
didn't know how he left his affairs L
know nothing about IT, she said. After
our arrival at the Baker home, on Newbury
street, heard Edward Baker ask both Mrs
Hurd and Mrs. Young II they knew Of the
existence Of a will and they both denied
the knowledge Mr.. Hurd and MIR. Bnttng-
ham were present AZ the time"
Asked about his trip TO New York the
day after Baker died, DR.. Gibbons said;
MY primary purpose was to clear up the
suspicious circumstances Of his death"
On arriving in New York he met Mr.. Hart
at the ONCE OF the Pinkerton agency. On
Tuesday, the day after Walters death he
went with Hart TO the home Of the Hurds in
their absence and talked with the servants.
Under what form Of identity did you
gain admittance TO the Hurd house?'
The question was allowed, and Dr. Glib
bons denied that he gained admittanoe to
the house by saying that he was doctor
from an insurance company in New York
He said that he did not know that Mr. Hart
