SAN FRANCISCO HAS
NEW MURDER MYSTERY
Woman Named Mrs. Baker Is
Murdered Evidently For
Revenge

San Francisco, Sept. 90. Revenge
and not robbery was the motive behind
the murder Of the woman who was
found strangled in rooming house here
last night, according to the belief cS-
pressed by detectives after Investigate
ing the case all morning.
The finding Of Il collection of keys,
the presence Of luck idols, Hindu
charms and half completed game Of
solitaire were the only clues revealed
to the detectives today. Thoy believe
the woman was engaged in n game OF
solitaire when she was approached from
behind and stnngled.
II is now believed that the woman =
name was really Mrs. Nora Baker, just
as she told her landlady, Mrs. Alice
Marshall, when she engaged room last
week, and that she came from Los An
gclcs
The police have no clue, however, to
the whereabouts Of the mysterious
"ncphew" of Mrs. Baker who respond
ed calmly TO the landiady's inquiries
as she stood outside the door Of the
death room last night while he strang
led his unfortunate victim. They be-
lieve he is still in San Francisco, how
ever.
The theory that the slayer Of Mrs.
Francis Harrison, in Los Angeles is also
the slayer of the Bs.er woman is no
longer entertained by the detectives.
The condition Of Mrs. Bakers finances
and her method of life, as established
by her belongings, dispels, the police
say, any connection between her and
