'sIIer life WAS IKE - ope

@f1er life was like an open
book, so far as we know
This was what attractive Mrs.
Eva j. Holt, assistant chief In
formation clerk in the Navy De.
partment Of Areonautics, for eight
years the friend and co-worker of
the murdered Mary Baker, had to
say today.
Mrs. Holt voiced the opinion Of
every member Of her department
in which the slain girl had
worked since its creation in 1871.
All Of them were checked at the
fate Of the attractive 30-year-Old
Government employe. They re-
fused to believe the girl was in
volved in q clandestine affair and,
In spite Of the police theory that
her murderer must have been q
close friend. all Of the girls re
fused to believe such was the
case.
Mrs. Holt said;
MARY Baker was the finest
type Of woman have ever
known. She was steady and
dependable. / could count on
her when. / could count on no
one else.
The Washington times., 1930-04-14

Failure to locate the missing
coat and hat of the dead girl
resulted in soldiers being detailed
from Fort Myer to beat the brush
a mile on each side of the road
from the end of the reservation
to the point that the abandoned
automobile was located.
Forty men spent the entire
forenoon yesterday, making an In
tensive search but found nothing
of value. 1t is anticipated the de-
tail will be sent out again to
search the woods and road be
tween the end of the military
road to Rosslyn, al the point
where the three shots were heard
that closed the book Of life for
Mary Baker.

and attributed their reticence to
fear Of possible embarrassment.
He limited at clandestine affairs
on the part of the Baker girl,
but did not disclose any def
mite instances which pointed to
such occurrences.
Certain letters, he said, gave
the police tangible clues on
which TO work. but added that q
letter found near the body was
Of little value. He also said that
If the coat and hat are found
