OF Murder

day beforehand over business mat
ters. There is no doubt but what
man is entitled 10 defend himself
where he is attacked by several others
and without cause; but whether any
evidence to support claim of self
defense was introduced by or for
Baker is better answered by those
who heard all the trial Baker had
several attorneys, one of them being
John j. Pershing, who by n coinci-
dence has the same initials as Baker.
The state also had many attorneys.
Baker claimed insanity, but this was
denied by DR.. Delehanty of Denver,
who testified for the state. Judge S.
NJ. Logan presided and the case was
prosecuted by Hon. Lee Burgess, dis
trict attorney, Deputy Ralph Waldo
and Moynihan, Hughes, knous &
Fauber. Baker was defended by
Hugo Selig and l.. C. kinikin OF
MontroSe, and Judge Wheeler and NJ.
d. Vincent OF Grand Junction.
If Baker inherited insanity and was
temporarily out of his mind at the
time of the trouble, it would seem
that life Imprisonment would be too
severe; and the same could be equal
ly said of self defense. On the other
hand he should not 90 free because
he is rich, altho he will be poorer
when the expenses of the trial are
figured up, as attorneys have to eat
and have right to be paid for their
labor and skill.
Baker is said to have borne a good
reputation, while no one who knew
the murdered man, Jim Kelley, can
believe that he would wantonly in
jure Baker, as he was one of the
finest young men of Montrose county,
Win Kelley, another brother, was al
most killed in recent auto accident
but is now better
The Bakers ran sheep at one time
in Idaho and also near the Lake Fork
in this county, and when they first
started, Tobe Barnes was foreman.
Bakers brother, Nj. NJ. Baker, helped
in his defense in every way. Baker
was removed to Grand Junction for
safe keeping between the time of the
shooting and the trial.
1t has been considered one of the
longest and most expensive trials
ever held in Montrose county, and so
many of the principals and witnesses
were known here that a great deal of
interest has been manifested in the
trial. Baker was removed to Grand
Junction again since the trial, and
has been granted thirty days in which
to flle notice for new trial.

fee and found everything working
smoothly. BY the way, we note the
esteemed' Republican stated last week
that Mr.. Still had installed an electric
heating pot for the News Champion.
Not so. We have had that heating
pot in two years. The additions that
were installed were billed at s1703,
altho this office gets them for $1,000
fat, that being the contract when the
machine foundation, Model A, was
purchased in May 1917, and the COM
pany fulfilled the contract. Altho
material and machinery costs have
increased to that extent in the interim.
After four years of paying on this
expensive machine at the tedious rate
of $40 per month, we had our nerve
10 take on another two years of it,
but the News-champion business de-
manded and justified the move. This
Office now has by far the best equip

PLAN SAN CARLOS EXCURSION TRIP
 ID CASA GRANDE

That as much as possible of the in- fluence of the Salt River valley may be lent to the San Carlos dam project which means the eventual opening to irrigation of the great Florence Casa Grande valley in Pinal county, a spe- cia1 train will be run from Phoenix on the day of the annual San Carlos celebration, which will be held at Casa Grande on August 12. This de- cision was reached by the chamber of commerce committee on the San Car los celebration. which met yesterday afternoon and which includes in its personnel R. M. Tuckey. J. o. Sexson. l.. c. Taylor, L. ". McAdarns. Doane Merrill. E. l.. Taylor, J. S. Griffin and E. c. Phelps.
 In addition the special train 1t Is believed that many Phoenicians will make the trip to Casa, Grande by au- tomobile. although the roads are in such condition that is probable that the great majority will make the journey by rail- The crossing at Sa- eaton is uncertain because of the high water in the Gila river, but the com- mittee will keep informed concern ing this and other details of the trip so that those intending to make the trip may be fully conversant with them up until the time of leaving on the morning or August lz. Ine ueS- ert roads are reported to be in fine condition on the route through Flor ence. and while this trip may be a little. longer. it will allow automobile parties to visit Florence as well as Casa Grande. the two chief centers of the Florence-Casa Grande valley.
 That the committee may have some definite information concerning the number of those who will make the trip it is urged that those who desire to go by train telephone the chamber of commerce. where complete details of the excursion may be obtained.
 The committee will met again at
 he chamber of commerce at il o'clock tomorrow morning, when other fea- lures of the excursion will be en- tered upon. A large, delegation will attend the celebration from Tucson from which city another special train will be run, and the citizens of Phoe- nix are asked to cooperate in show | ing the residents of the cities of the l Florence-Casa Grande valley tha, they are enthusiastically behind the project to build the San Carlos dam and to open up to cultivation the fer tile acres of that part of Arizona.
