be more roughly handled unless he
surrendered the cell keys, which he
finally yielded.

afternoon. but the hearing was held
behind closed doors and no informa-
tion was given out West, the taxi

tion with the affair but, it. is under
stood. admitted that he was out in
his automobile last night, but that he
had been visiting friends and knew
nothing of the lynchipg.
Private Morris, whom Baird was
charged with having killed. was shot
to death shortly after the soldier had
shot John Northcutt, father-in- law of
Baird. Baird is said by, officers to
have confessed to shooting the soldier
but claimed he did so in self -edefense.
