GIRL SEEKING
FREEDOM FROM
BOGUS OFFICER
Would Annul Tie to Man
Who Passed as Sec.
Bakers Brother.

Denver, Colo. Oct. S.-Initial steps
to rid herself Of her husband, Albert
e. Baker, bogus brother of Newton
D.. Baker, secretary Of war, were TAX
en- by the young woman who married
him following a whirlwind courtship
on a Pullman and who now contends
that she was led into a marriage cere-
mony at Colorado Springs through his
receptions.
Annulment proceedings have been
started by a Denver attorney who has
been engaged by Mrs. Baker to repre-
sent. her. Baker, who now is in the
county jail, unable to give a bond Of
$1,000 fixed by Judge Wilbur F. Stone,
contends that he loves his wife dearly,
but that he will make no effort to in
terfere with any steps she may take
to set aside the marriage.
Said to Have Confessed.
Baker was closeted W hours with
Rowland K. Goddard, United States
secret service agent, and James Mel
rose, special agent Of the department
Of Justice, and Is said to have made q
full confession of his act while pos
ing as the brother Of the secretary Of
war in Denver and at Troutdale, a
Colorado mountain resort.
Neither Goddard nor Melrose will
tell what revelations were made by
Baker. but it is presumed that state
ments made tt them will be used ef-
fettively by Mrs. Baker in having
the marriage ceremony set aside.
She is supposed to be in Colorado
Springs with friends, awaiting the
time when the annulment proceedings
come up for hearing. When she has
rid herself Of her husband, it is her
plan. according to Denver friends, to
return to Louisiana, her home, and
try to forget her experiences in Colo
RADIO.
Efforts now are being made by fed
eral' officials in Denver to check up
the record Of Baker in other sections
of, the country. Rumors have reached
them that he was especially active in
Chicago, but nothing definite concern
ing his movements there has been
ascertained.
