A gray-haired man had been a
passenger in the car in which
Mary Baker met her death, &C,
cording to Raymond Kennedy,
Baltimore criminologist, who
solved the Seat Pleasant bomb,
ing mystery in which Mrs. Naom
Hall Brady and her brother and
sister were killed.
This was brought out yesterday
when the master sleuth made a
thorough examination of the
death car and found number of
gray hairs under the front seat
Of the machine.
The hairs had been ulIed
from the head Of the man as
they all bore live roots.
Kennedy said that the hairs
could not have fallen out. as in
that case they would have been

taken by Kennedy to his labora,

ably be used in the case in run

BOSTON. April IS G.N.SO.-
While health authorities today
were investigating an epidemic Of
paralysis, due to a metallic poison
in adulterated Jamaica ginger or
moonshine liquor, word came
from Providence, r. l., of the first
death.
The victim was Frank S. La

months illness. His wife, among
the nearly 100 persons in Provi-
dence and vicinity stricken with
the poisoning, is reported in a
serious condition.

over to Lieut.. Edward j. Kelly
of the homicide squad.
Just what transpired between
6 O'Clock Friday evening and IL
o'clock that night. when the girl
is supposed to have met her
death, police have been unable
to ascertain. Where the girl and
her companion spent the inter
vening hours is the one point il
the case which has thus far
proved battling to investigators.
Arrests Due
Friends of Miss Baker insist
that she was not the kind to have
affairs with men, but was a
typical bachelor girl.
Cloth stated last night, how
ever, that the probe has proved
the girl was acquainted with
number of married men and that
she was frequently in company
with at least two of them.
With clear picture of the
man who entered the machine in
which the girl was murdered
police are of the opinion his ap-
prehenSion is but a matter of
hours. Meanwhile an intensive
search is still being made of the
woods near the scene of the crime
for the coat and hat which so
mysteriously vanished.
Fragments of letters, one found
near the scene of the crime and
another near Syphax Station, Va,
have been dismissed as of no
value in the case by Cloth.
So far a number of %hot tips"
in the case have all proved of no
value to police. One report that
a man was seen wearing a blood.
stained shirt led to the discovery
he had been injured in an auto
mobile accident.
Fred Wilson, Treasury Depart
ment architect, former friend
Of Miss Baker who was questioned
at length by police, has furnished

say. On the night of the murder
Wilson worked in his garden |
from 6 o'clock until dark and
then spent the remainder of the
evening with his wife and. friends. |
Wilson had told police, they
say, that he had an appointment |
with Miss Baker but after wait
ing near her car from 4:30 to |

Funeral Today
The service took place at IL
o'clock and was conducted by the
Rev. James Marshall, of st.
Peters Episcopal Church. The
body of the girl was borne to its
last resting place by six pail
bearers, all neighbors and life
long friends of the family.

Wharton and Ferdinand Gambler.
The Bakers are known for miles
around, not only in Oak Grove
but at Colonial Beach, where DIR.
Baker used to preach in the sum-
mer, and at Montross, Va, where
the family used to live. Friends
and relatives came from these two
places for the funeral today and
the whole town is sorrowed by the
event that has cast such a dark
shadow on Parson Baker, beloved
and respected by all the towns
people and country folk.
Mary Baker was the least known
of all the family, in which there
were nine. She has been away
from Oak Grove for 10 years, and
inhabitants remember her as
dark-eyed, high-spirited, independ-
ent girl of 20. Few people in the,
town ever knew her well or much,
about her. AS far as they can re-
member she was not one to go out
with boys to dances very often. :
Kept to Herself
She always kept to herself and
remained aloof. Or such is tine )
impression the townspeople have
of her.
She returned to the family
home about a month ago for a.
brief visit. At that time, neighs

be. She was in the best of.
spirits, however. and certainly no
one in the town. nor any of her
family, had any -forebodings of
the violent death she was to
meet a month later. T.
She spent last Christmas with
her parents in Oak Grove, but
outside of that her visits had
been infrequent. She did not
seem to enjoy the country life.
but preferred being in Washing
ton with her friends.
Has Quaint Dignity
The Oak Grove Cemetery where
she was buried is a typical coun--
try graveyard. with all its quaint
dignity. 1t has been the burial
grounds for the Bakers for two
generations.
The American Legion, of which
the girl was a member, wanted
her to be buried in Arlington
Cemetery. a few yards from the
Spot where she met her untimely
Death. DIR. Baker rejected the
idea. He wanted her to be buried
in the family plot in a little corner
where he and his wife can watch
over her grave until they join her.

The setting in which Mr.

itself dramatic.
The Daughters Of the Revolu-
