FIFTY WITNESSES HEARD IN TRIAL
 OF JUDGE BAKER
West Virginia Jurist De- nies All Charges Of
 Misconduct .
lBy Associated Press.l

PARKERSBURG, W. Va, Nov. 26 A mass of testimony, much Of It con- tradictory, has been placed before a congressional subcommittee tonight when it closed two days of hearings here on charges of misconduct filed against Federal Judge William E. Baker of the northern district of West Virginia. The charges were filed with the house of representatives by T. A.. Brown. district attorney of the same jurisdiction, as a basis for possible inn peachment proceedings against Judge Baker. The committee indicated that the next hearing would be held at Wheeling, probably within few weeks.
 More than 50 witnesses were heard today, mainly in denial of charges. Judge Baker on the witness stand today made n sweeping denial to the three specific charges covered in the present inquiry, that of changing court records, the transfer of confiscated liquor and his alleged use of liquor.
 With reference to the transfer of confiscated liquor to Elkins, hls home city, Judge Baker declared that the order was made at the suggestion or c. E. Smith, the United States mar ShQl, because SlOEdBc hpdSC huo o'" able in the federal building there and because of thefts from other places where confiscated liquor was stored. Smith corroborated Judge Bakers state ment that the transfer orders were made at his suggestion.
 A quantity of liquor, said by some witnesses to be 800 quarts, moved from Clarksburgto Elkins, was placed at 15O or POO quarts by a deputy marshal, who said he had charge of moving the liquor. He testified on crOss-examination that most of the liquor was destroyed in the Elkins federal building by pulling the corks and emptying the contents into the sewer.
 Judge Baker characterized as false the testimony of Mrs. A. c. Moore that he was present at a party in house she owned in Clarksburg, where several of the company were intoxicated
 In all 17 witnesses declared that in their association with Judge Baker since he became federal judge they had never seen him either under te influence of liquor or showing that he had used li0uOr,

DAM EXPLOSION
 KILLS FOUR MEN
 IN KENTUCKY
50 Pounds Of Dynamite Ignited Prematurely
 At Dix River
CAPTAIN POOLEY HUBERT
(By Associated Press.)

HARRODSBURG, Ky. Nov. 26.- Four workmen were killed by a pre- mature explosion of 50 pounds of dyna- mite late today in the course of con- struction work on Dix river dam, a hydro electric project on Dix river near here. Another worker was stunned, but his injuries were said to be slight.
 THE DEAD:
 Herbert Wilson of Nonesuch, Burl Wallace of Shakertown, Benjamin Cor ley, Central City, and Joseph Bell, negro, of Lexington.
 The blast occurred just before the men quit work. Wallace and Wilson were bending over the hole where the charge had been planted and their bodies were badly mangled. Miller and Corley were standing nearby.
 Cause of the explosion is undeter- mined, but it is believed possible the charge was struck by shovel used by one of the victims.
