Kelley Back On Job
Lieut.. Edward ]. Kelley, chief
of the homicide squad, is back
on the case today and laughed
about reports that he was "or-
dered off the case to, prevent a
nervous breakdown" He simply
took his one days leave which
Is allowed to him each week.
Both Inspector Shelby and Lieu
tenant Kelly admitted when
pressed that the theory that a
stranger, perhaps a moron. com
nnitted the crime, was being given
consideration.
In spite of this police have not
abandoned other leads. The re-
port that a man was seen to
meet Miss Maker submitted by
Park Policeman William Ham
n1ond is the basis Of careful
search for another man who knew
the slain girl whose identity is
not yet known to detectives.
The theory that Miss Baker
was killed by someone who knew
her was based entirely on the
fact that she Was seen in the
car on Seventeenth and B Streets
with grey-haired man.
But whatever happened there,
must have happened in a very
short time. Analysis of the time
elapsed between Miss Bakers last
goodby to her friend. Miss Inez
Eyre, at Epiphany Church and
the minute that a report was
made to police, shows that five
minutes was the most that the
girl and man could have been

Teeth Knocked Out
The fact that her lower front
teeth were knocked out and her
jaw broken leads police to think
that she ma have surprised a
thief runmaging through her car.
In an il1Sta. he may have hit,
dazing her, and driven off.
Some experts on the homicide
squad think that it is entirely
probable that Miss Baker was
shot in the car just as the man
drove off. A man who saw the
car drive away said there were
several reports which might have
been back-fires or the firing Of a
small caliber revolver.
IN support Of the idea Miss
Baker was murdered on the
streets Of Washington one of the
members Of the homicide squad
said:
There is nothing improbable
shout that. There are so many
backfires that people pay nc at.
tentiOn to them. 1t is quite
possible to shoot someone in
car without attracting atten-
ton. Personally think she
may have been killed right
here In Washington" 49,

Murder Inquiry BIaCkened
Reputation, Says Virginian;
Soldiers Mentality Tested

Representative S. o. Bland of
Virginia today called. upon the
three agencies investigating the
mysterious murder of Mary Baker
to issue a "joint definite positive
and conclusive statement" clear
ing the name of the murdered
woman from the stigma which
has been placed over it since the
investigation has assumed so
many different angles.
In his letter to the Metropolitan
Police, the Department of Justice,
and Arlington county officials,
Bland Saiu that he was in pos
session of information that con-
clusively proved Miss Baker was
of good moral character and he
criticized newspaper reports to
the contrary These he said,
we're:
wholly unjustified and alb
sOIuteIy without any fOunda-
ton"
Statement Demanded
Bland concluded his letter by
saying:
"ThOse connected with the in
veStigatiOn owe il to the girl and
her family to make a joint, def
mite, positive and conclusive
statement exOnerating her from
any reflections which have been
made on her character. She
cannot be brought back to life,
but her character may be vindi-
Gated and preserved"
A reply to BANDS letter was be-
ing framed today by both Major
Henry G. Pratt, Superintendent of
Police. and Inspector William S.
Shelby, Chief of Detectives. Both
announced they would state that
the Police Department in it's in
vestigation had found nothing
which would tend to cast reflec-
tionS upon the murdered Woman'S
character.
Agents on Secret Trip
Meanwhile, two Department of
Justice agents are at an unknown
destination today, supposedly on
a mission connected with the in
vestigation of the murder.
Herman H. Barrere, itinerant
painter. for whom police have
been searching since he left
Washington May 3, apparently
is playing a game of hide and
seek" with the Investigators.
Last week Inspector William S.
Shelby, chief of detectives, re-
ceived information that he was in
Waynesboro. Pa. but before the
local department asked for his
apprehension he had left there.
