ex-convict, and william Nesbeth,
Sioux City bartender The complaint
charged the trio with killing Harold
Baker. former California convict. to
prevent his "squealing."
Find No Trace Of Men.
Federal men will take a hand In

anybody is harboring those fellows it
will go mighty tough with them"
With issuance Of the warrants, OH

up the trail of the fugitives, but ad-
mitted they had found no trace of the

the worse in hospital here. She told

his assailants tossed him into an ex-
plosives store house and touched OF
q fuse.
Separated From Husband.
DR.. A. j. Moe said she had less than
a $3.50" chance to live.
Another development in the bizarre
death conspiracy was disclosure that

Baker, on Sioux City street. Her
husband, Earl Sieler. 80, w. P. A.
worker, visited her at the hospital

he came here on freight train be-
cause he still loved her"
