BAKER INQUEST
SETFOR TODAY

A coroner's inquest was to be
held today at District Morgue
into the death Of Mrs. May Baker,
who was slain in her basement
apartment on April 2.
Albert C. Baker, so, husband
of the woman, is being held in
connection with the shooting
after he surrendered to police

The shooting occurred at BOT o

tween Baker and his wife, while
their four children looked on.

ing but refused to do so. He had
been the object of an intensive
search by Washington and Vlr-
ginia authorities since that time.
After surrendering yesterday,
Baker made a complete confes-
sion of the shooting and said the
reason he had not surrendered
before was because he was try
ing to obtain money with which
to care for his children.

LONDON, April IA 1.N.SO.
Honest anglers, cast aside your
rods, pull up your chairs and
listen to the fishiest of fish
stories.
A Natal, South African angler
has landed a whale on rod and
line, according to reports from
Johannesburg.
This Natal angler was quietly
fishing in a channel off the
beach 40 miles from Durham
when he noticed a baby whale
of the sperm family, thresh-
ing wildly, apparently separated
by whalers from it's mother.
Failing to hook the whale by
casting his line several times,
the angler plunged into the
water and swan out to the
whale. After carefully insert
ing his hook into it's nose he
returned to shore, and after
two hours playing landed it.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, July 10
Members of the George Rogers
Clark commission who voted to build
the monument of granite believed
they were voting for Vermont stone.
Representative Arthur Greenwood
said here. Greenwood, a member
OF the commission, who favored the
granite in preference to Indiana
limestone for the monument at Vim
cennes, said the commission was not
aware that the material to be used
would come from Canadian quar-
RES, as charged by Indiana lime
stone interests.
Greenwood defended the commits
s1on's action in voting for granite
over protests of representatives of
limestone concerns.
I'VE were acting on the advice of
expert architects and engineers. !"
Greenwood said. His statement was
made in answer to protests of bust
ness and civic organizations sup
porting the limestone interests of
the district Greenwood represents
in congress.
Meanwhile, word was received
from George H. Perkins, Vermont
state geologist, that material for the
monument would be quarried in that
state. Stanstead interests will take
granite from Vermont and ship it
TO Vlncennes on United States
railroad, Perkins said, answering
charges that the stone was to be
taken from the Stanstead Canadian
quarries and shipped ON Canadian
railroad.

been caused by the weight of her
body in the wrecked automobile in

Ray Hearne, North Vernon me-
chanic, testified that there was
nothing in the wreckage of the
Cook machine to have caused the
wounds, which were described as
round and uniform in character.
Mrs, Rosa Cook, mother of the
defendant, was branded by states
attorneys as hostile" witness

OLD HOAX TO
FRONT AGAIN
Another Copy of Clark Let
ter Found.
By Times Special

By Times Special
CASTOR, Ind, July ia hoax
perpetrated more than a century
ago for time led Urba Carter,
farmer three miles southwest of
here, and j. Monroe Fitch, Muncie,
to believe they possessed the original
of the order issued by Governor Pat
rick Henry of Virginia to George
Rogers Clark to make his famous
expedition in the Northwest terri
tory.
Rummaging through contents of
a Junk which his grandfather had
used, Carter found the letter. 1t
bore the signature, P. Henry, and
gave minute directions to Clark re-
garding the expedition.
However, investigation showed
that there are several copies of the
letter in existence. The exact date
of the copying is not known nor is
the reason, or the person who did
the work.
The copies are rather valuable,
and Garter has had an offer to sell
his to New York firm.
