 Judge Fuk and Lorenzo Gibson told the details of the tragedy, which have been reviewed by the newspapers re- peatedly.

 Judge Austin was on the stand nearly two hours. He practically made a speech from the witness stand it being the first incident of it's kind in Little Rock court room. In order to describe how Ellis had been effect ed by his speech before Judge Fulk, on the day of the tragedy, when Judge Austin was appealing to the court not to give Willis an order for Little Mary Willis, the witness was compel- ed to repeat his former speech in de- tail. Attorneys for the state tried to prevent him from doing so, but the court ruled the speech admissible and it was clearly seen that Judge Aus tin $ speech had it's desired effect on the jury. He reviewed every detail of which Mrs. Ellis had prevented her former husband from securing pos session of Little Mary and the indig- mites she had suffered at Willis hands

Warden from Waterbury

Barre, Aug. County Game War
den II. d. Camp is receiving a string
of communications from various towns
in the county complaining of the dep
relations done by deer to crops and
gardens. A complaint considerably

NO TRACE FOUND
Of F. |. BAKER
OF FORT ANN
Missing Man In Bennington Pre-
viOus to Disappearance
FATHER OF AMYL BAKER
Foul Play or Sudden Mental Illness
Only Logical Reason for His
Prolonged Absence

Express Agent Amyel Baker re-
turned last night from Fort Ann, N.
Y, where he has been since Sunday
assisting in the search for his father,
Frederick |. Baker whose where
abouts have been unknown since July
20 Monday the body of an unknown
man was found in the Genesee river
near Rochester and there were some
reasons to believe that the remains
were those of the missing man but an
investigation by one of Mr.. Bakers
sons who at once hurried to Roches-
ter proved that the mystery had not
yet been solved
The police all through northern and
central New York have been asked to
look out for the missing man who is a
well known attorney and politician or
Fort Ann.
The family and friends of Mr., Ba-
ker are much wrought up over the
mysterious disappearance and are ut
terly at a loss to assign any cause.
They can only think that he has either
met with foul play or become Ill and
suddenly lost his memory
Mr.. Baker left mis- home early in
Jul and came to this village for visit
with his son Amyel. who is the local
agent for the American Express COM
pany.
After remaining here two weeks
he left to visit another son in Fulton
near Syracuse July Is he wrote to
his wife at their home in Fort Ann
that he would leave July 20 and that
she might expect him the following
morning at o'clock. He left on the
morning of the twentieth taking an
affectionate farewell of his son.
That was the last that either his
friends or relatives have heard OF
him Mr.. Baker was a highly respec-
table man and his prolonged absence
has affected not only ais relatives and
friends but the residents OF the coun-
tv. He was formerly connected with
the Fort Ann National bank and with
the Fort Ann Printing company, al
though for the past few years he mas
confined his duties to the practice OF
his profession. He was man In
comfortable circumstances. but never
was in the habit of carrying much
money about with him. So his friends
are loathe to believe that he has been
the victim of robbers.
Neither had he had any great bust
ness worries lately. He had not been
in the best of health for some time,
and sudden shock it'll temporary
loss of memory seems to be the only
logical cause of his disappearance.
Mr. Baker is sixty-five years old and
weighs 100 pounds. is five feet four
inches tall. of medium build with
white hair and dark complexion. he
has no mustache or beard and wears
glasses. He also has small scar on
one side of his face.

BASEBALL GAMES
Saturday and Sundays Contests Will
Be Best of the Season

Manager E. S. Higgins will have as
the opponents of the local team to-
morrow either the Mohawks of Sche-
nectady or the Johnstown, n. Y,
team. Both mines are fast and have
won several close contests this sea
son. The Mohawks were defeated 5
to last Saturday by the Jeffersoni-
ans of Schenectady, the strongest
nine in the electric city who will play
here soon.
Sunday return game will be play
ed with Pittsfield at Tudor Park. The
series stands to l in favor of Ben
nington and the Berkshire boys will
make great effort TO win next Sun
days game. Pittsfield has won four
straight from North Adams but is due
for a trimming here.
Although Bennington has steered
clear of Hoosick Falls since the series
was cancelled the esteemed Democrat
still continues to howl. An extract
from the last issue follows;
THE umpire business is all rot Ben
nington had to have some excuse to
break her contract for scheduled
games with Hoosick Falls and would
never have cancelled a game had she
not been ready to play Sunday ball at
Bennington. Frequent visits and
charming reports from Manager Hig
gins appear to have had their iniu-
ence in North Adams"
Manager Flaherty showed good
Judgment in replacing Hoosick Falls
by Bennington for Sunday games on
the schedule. More people will go
from this city to the latter town than
would make the trip TO the Falls
North Adams Herald.

BRAIN NOT DISEASED
Proof That Thaw's Belief in Whites
Practices Founded on Fact

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. Sub
stantial evidence that Harry Thaw's
belief in the practices of Stanford
White toward young girls was based
on fact, and is not, therefore. the de-
fusion Of diseased brain. was intro
duced into the habeas corpus proceed
ings yesterday by David n. Carvalho,
the noted handwriting expert. The
states alienists have declared that a
belief based on fact is not a delusion
and therefore not paranoia, and
Thaw's attorney dealt sledge hammer
blows at the paranoia theory by get
ting in evidence, through Carvalho,
packet of letters from White to Sue
Parker" who made aftidavits that she
had been lured to Eagles Nest by
White and there ruined. The Thaw
family believes that If it can be
shown Thaw's belief was based on
fact. they can free him, and they were
when the letters were al
lowed to be introduced in evidence.
