GUY BAKER ON TRIAL !
Charged Nth Staying Of Olive,
Driver Of Lone Tree
STATE SCORES FIRST POINT
Shown That Driver Came to His
Death From Fracture of the
Skull Inflicted Shortly Be-
fore He Died.

Iowa City, Ia, June 20.-The state
scored the first point In the prelimi-
nary hearing of Guy Baker, charged
with the murder of Oliver P. Driver
of Lone Tree by striking him upon
the head with board.
1t was shown by the testimony of
DR.. Henry Albert that Driver came
to his death from fracture of the
skull inflicted shortly before he died,
and not from a kick from a mule
three or four weeks previously, as the
defense commended DR.. Albert found
the mark made by the mule, but it
was on the point of the chin.
He testified that death was the re-
suit of fracture over the left ear,
produced by blunt instrument which
did not break the skin. Paralysis of
the right side followed, and Mr.. Driv-
er died a few hours later. The skull
was exhibited in court.
The defendant, Baker, killed q
man in Muscatine some years ago,
during an alteration which arose
over Bakers going driving with a
sister of the other man. He was ac-
quilted on the grounds of self de-
Tense, claiming that several men
jumped to the horse and he thought
that he was about to be attacked.
Bakers father is wealthy farmer
Of Muscatine county and is supply
ing the funds to defend his son. Feel
ing runs quite high over the affair in
