District Attorney. Mr.. Baker declares
himself Injured by an advertisement pub
lished ia the Washington Herald, at Mr.
Warmers instigation. which arraigned
Mr.. Baker and a justice Of the District

icsl meeting at Rockville, Nd. on March

That he meant only to criticise Mr.
Bakers action IN mixing actively in

Mr.. Warner. he said he intented only
to let the people know that he believed
Mr. Baker should have remained in the
District and prosecuted the racetrack
bookmakers, instead OF going to Nary-
land.
Mr.. Warner told OF his residonce

Warner said he had no personal feeling
against Mr.. Baker. He was q friend but
was wrong In not replying to the de-
mand Of the people and the request OF
the Commissioners that he suppress gam

been informed that the Waters indict-
ment was detective, but that In CONVEX
sation with Corporation Counsel

former trustees. whom the dead priest
ousted when he took charge of the
parish.
