TRAGEDY STUNS.
MARY BAKERS !.
HOME TOWN
Oak Grove Knew Murder Vic
tim as "High Spirited" and
Independent Bachelor Girl

OAK GROVE, Va, April 49,
The tangled threads in the
private friendship of pretty Mary
Elizabeth Baker which made her
the victim of a brutal murder
have only developed recently.
This is the opinion Of her
family and friends, residents of
the little village of Oak Grove,
who recalled her cheerful diSpoSi-
tion. Q
The Baker family, above the
average in intelligence and breed
ing, was stunned by the full
force of the tragedy.
Mary, the bachelor girl" OF
the family, was high spirited and
independent. So far as her family
knew, she had few men friends,
and on her infrequent visits to
her home, a picturesque farm
house almost hidden from view
by surrounding oak trees, she
made little mention Of them.
Neighbors said:
"She was never seen with
Lived at MOntrOss
Until about IL years ago, the
Baker family lived at Montross,
10 miles away, and the father,
the Rev. Thomas F. Baker, was
rector of Episcopal churches both
at Montross and at Oak Grove.
Before the removal of the family
to Oak Grove, Mary entered the
Government service as a yeomen
in the Navy Department. She
never again lived at home.
Two of the pallbearers at yes
terday'S funeral services were re-
called by Montross residents as
friends of her childhood days.
Both still live in Montross and
during her visits home on summer
vacations and week-endS, had
escorted her to the church services
conducted by her father. She was
considered exceptionally attrac-
tive by her neighborS.
r. w. Stiff, owner Of a store.
and a pallbearer at the funeral,
recalled that the girls last visit
to her home was in February. She
was in high spirits then. and Stiff
recalled that his last sight of her
alive was as she waved to him in
passing the store.
Moved to Lyon Park
It was shortly after this, the
neighbors noted, that Miss Baker
moved into suburban house in
Lyon Park, Va She had formerly
lived at the Evangeline Hotel, in
the 1900 block L st. N. w. She
did not return home after moving
to the Lyon Park house.
This move, it was said, may
have been an indication of a
change in the girls habits Of liV-
ing.
She made her home in Lyon
Park with two friends, Miss Olga
Skinner and Miss Sperry, also
''bache1or girls"
Some Of her friends observed
that she may have sought the
freedom of a detached house.
with the countrywide surround
ings of her early childhood days.
Miss Skinner and Miss Sperry,
however, have been closely ques.
toned by police regarding tue
alleged friendships of all the trio
and persons close to the Baker
family circle intimate that FRANK
statements from the two girls
should be given, if they could
throw any additional light on the
mystery.
Attend Funeral
The two friends of the Baker
girl attended the funeral services
Yesterday. Accompanied by other
girls, they left Oak Grove in an
automobile bound in the direc.
tion of Washington.

WILDERNESS STILL
 CONCEALS AVIATOR
Rescue Parties Fear Jungle Will
 ThWart Their Efforts

Rangoon, Burma, July IS GP-The Indian wilderness today still cloaked with mystery the fate of the young British aviator, Eric Hook, whom his companion, Jimmie Matthews. left on the banks of river near here after plane crash in the jungle.
 Rescuing parties penetrating the jungles feared that even If they did eventually find him, it would be too date to bring hi mout alive. It was pointed out that they had long stretches of high hills to climb and rapid torrents to forge before the area could be covered.
 The torrents increased in force the past few days by the monsoon floods while the flat country rapidly is be- coming submerged. As bad as the weather has been in the area under search. worse was expected with a new storm rolling up from the Bay of Bengal.
 Hook and Matthews were on a flight from England to Australia when their plane cracked up on a bamboo clump. Hook was taken very ill before they could get out of the wilderness and Matthews finally. he says. was obliged to leave him in dying condition and seek help for both of them.
