portefs-Determined to
Finish Job.

After a weeks investigation Of the
murder of Mary E. Baker, 2S-year-old

partment of Justice.
This investigation has carried him
throughout every section of Washing

to the cities of Fredericksburg and
Richmond. Day and night, for more
than a week, Cloth has participated In
and in the questioning of numerous
suspects. At 5 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, after devoting the night to grilling
one suspect, he left without sleep for
Richmond to bring back another man
wanted for questioning.

Richmond, he found it necessary TO
register at Washington hotel to keep
from being disturbed. Even then, after
36 sleepless hours, he allowed himself
but four hours rest.
Although every attempt to solve the
mystery of the crime has gone unre-
warded, Cloth is determined to carry on
the investigation.

fainting spell led to the summoning
of a physician, who placed a nurse in

MURDERER BECOMES sPECTER.

BY a stan Correspondent of The Star.
OAK GROVE, Va, April le.-The
murderer of Mary Baker has become q
specter of pain and of mental anguish
for the girl they reared and loved, In
the minds Of the kindly country par
son here, the Rev. Thomas F. Baker,
and Mrs. Baker.
Death they know and have learned
to become reconciled to. A week after
the Staying of their daughter. her
body laid safely away to rest in the
little cemetery here, they have become
reconciled to her death. They regard
her death as merciful deliverance
from the clutches of the f1end who
slew her.
But as the slayer remains at large,
the mystery of their daughters death
still unsolved, this specter has become
more real with every hour.
DR., Baker is trying valiantly to bear
the whole burden Of his family's sor-
row, keeping the narrowing details of
his daughters death from his wife and
destroying those sections of the more
sensational newspapers which might
,, prove shocking to his wife, but he cam
not destroy the murderer himself, nor
can he philosophize away the mental
picture he and his family have unWil-
lingly built of the murderer.
81 cannot understand It," DR.. Baker
declared yesterday. II have seen death
many times. Death is something we
can, If not understand. at least be-
come reconciled to. Death Is q deliv-
erance from many things.
"But the thing we cannot touch, the
thing that remains with us, that gnaws
at us, tears our very soul, and viii for
as long as we live, is that period OF
| time when our girl was with the person
who was responsible for her death;
that unexplained period of time when
she must have been In the depths OF
mental anguish, in the hands of q
| fiend."
DR.. Baker goes about his parish as
| usual, and Mrs. Baker about her duties
| as the mother of her children and the
wife of q minister, but where they &C
they carry with them the picture of q
fiend who hurt and then killed then
girl.

one to taste the Burgundy.
Il asked John how the wine was and
he said pretty sour

hadn't been kept in wine cellar made
1t turn to vinegar.
Yes, I'll drink the toast to the
