So w'oea the letter from a person who signed h»:n*-lf “Man No. 1,” purporting to b - a e«ion of the crime, was recent ly pnu wi in the Register, it etirred np the greatest tx.'i'eaient, both among the adhenni- 01 Baker’* innocence and the people who feel certain he is theguilt t mao. Tbs article* succeeding the prid ing of the l«t er were read with interest also, especially Baker’* talk about the let ter, after it bad been shown him by a Reg ister reporter. Nothing tfcat ha* been published recently ha* itirrtd np so much interest, ard most of the nl,w*paper* in Rittebnrg, Stenben vilie, Washington and other town* printed the article* from the Register in their entuety •Tnat lure >l 1* proper tovay that the only uhjrct tbs Register bad in view wa* to give the new*, a* it a:way* rite*. It the letter wr.s of any valne whatever, in clear ing npa possible mystery, it deserved pub lication. If it were a mere trick on the part of Baker or some one of his friend*, it ulso denerved publication. The public could be the judge whether the letter was a fraud or not. One thing is certain, however, and that is this: The letter was mailed at Columbus, Ohio, and received in dee coarse at this office, and lurtker, there is no one connected with this office either near or remote that ever knew or beard of the contents of the letter until opened and read. Both the envelope and letter are still in the possession ot this office, where any one who desires can see them, a* many bi>\3 done ulready. Toe comments ai some of these journals tire given this morning to snow now the papers regard the now famous letter. The Hancock Imlepemlmt last week printed the letter, aad all the succeeding articles in reference to it from the Keois kk, and then charged the Register with caving faked np ihe letter iD the office. That was amusing, in view of the fact that the Independent would deign to reprint the “f*ke,” bn! it is not more si than the action of the Steubenville Herald, which pnt display Iliads over all the articles tak en from the Register, and then in other parte of the paper, on different occasions, ; commeuted in this manner : “That Baker Matter.—The alleged murderer’s conteesion which made it t ap pearance in the Wheeling Register this raorn-rg, is reprinted in thin i“sue. What is its object is hardly possible to say, bat it show* the scheming ot the rnott conning and most dastardly mnrderer tvernnhung. V m B. Bilk- r is gnilty of the murder ot h s wife and mother-in-law, and has been ! so proven; any such communication cover ing every detail unexplainable upon any other hypothesis than his gnilt can come itoai no o'her source than his own knowl edge ol the horrible details of the crime.” “A Cheat Fake.—It ia about time that people of this vicinity understood the dee o-rate resorts to which the murderer B» ker aad bis agents are resorting to create a suspicion of his gnilt. One of his attorneys is a potential factor with the Wheeling RkgI- eh, the paper tnnt is giving public ity to the alleged interviews, and ia ap parently trying to create the necessary .'onht to appeal to executive clemency. Van Baker always tboueht he was mure wise and cunning than his attorneys, and he is hoodwtnkiug them again. It is not proper to s iy they believe him gnilty or innocent of his heinous crime, 1ml if they ever had auv doubt of the cold-blooded atrocity of h.s crime, the events ot the past tew days ought to satiety the most impartial minded that the only pnuish meat that wonld meet his'erinie would he hanging anil quartering. The whole al leged confess! n is a great newspaper •take, beongnt abont ny tne rcnemtng or a murderous villain.” The following extracts are irotu the Steubenville Gazette “Tout Van Baker is guilty of the crime tor which he is new bsiug panishtd by the S ale, th-re >s no doubt in the minds of any one; bo1 aim -t coincident with Bs ker’s (torn ug the striped -tilt of the life convict there has < ome into the posets-iou oftheWhee iog Register a loiter of a very remarkable nature—a letter written by a man who says that he ia company with two others committed the crime. “l’o tie people of Stmbenviile it lroks very much like a bungled scheme to cast a doebt on Biket’s guilt with a view lo getting him pardoned. With the papers containing accounts of the murder and the proceedings of the trials betjre the writer, it wai. a very easy matter lo compose the letter.’’ “If the alleged confession of the Holli day Cove murder by a man who wrote a letter from Colntubas to the Wheeling Register is with u view of creating a doubt as to Van Biker’s guilt, it is the mon absurd hnrgle that Biker's friends have yet made, fheobjectof the letter is to corroborate the statement made by Baker that the thru- men who he claimed rented a lot from Mrs. McWha were gnilty ot the crime. This statenunt was made by Biker after he declared to the Gazette representative that the men he suspected were three men from Steubenville who bad rented the stable, bnt ss soou as these nieu tnrned np, he changed his story so as to make it appear that there were time oth er men who rented the lot, bnt no trees of the three others was ever found, and this theory was never dwelt upon by Bik er’s attorneys. The persou who cimmit t»d the murder did not get into the house through the window, and the night cap story is just as absurd as the claim that the trunk was broken open with an ex, tor the trnnk was noiocked and did not have to be forced. The moat surprising thing about the whole bnsine-w in the fact the Wheeling Register is takeu in hy the fake, and almost accepts the confession as evidence that Baker is not guilty.

The letter was mailed to the Register at Co lumbus, hot bad no vame to tt. But the letter in itself won’t do—some stronger evident-'- tl-'in that will be needed to re lease. Baker.” The Toronto Tribune takes a psnidrnling view ol the situation aud caustically re marks: “The efforts of the Whaling Register to create sympathy for Biker and n suspi cion of his guilt, (1o»h not have moth ef fect where it is known that Ool. Arnett, one « f Biker’s attorney*, is a prominent owner of the paper that is giving the pub licity to the alleged letters aud interviews throwing tn* crim- on eonte one else, l’eo pie np lb's way are firm in their convic tion of Baker’s gnilt.” [Col. Arcett does net own n dollar’s worth of Slock in the Register.—K» ] The Ohio I'rr»*, of Steubenville, lias ibis opinion of the letter: “The letter that appeared in the Wheel ing Register, purporting to be from one of the alleged murderers of Mrs. McWha and Mr*. Baker, at Holliday’s Cove, and clearing Van Baktr of the crime by a con feestoo, is regarded by the public ns an “ootragnm fake” upon ths people, and as gotten up by Van Baker himself or through his connivance. The whole de tails^ the mnrder are gone over willi tell ing effect, and the points that condemned Baker taken up and explained. The affair is considered a very bungling ono, Had the people are ditgnaied, having hoped that the closidg of the penitentiary upon Vau Baker would settle the question of the mnrder forever. ” MAKIUEII.
