According to the meat inspector of Haris
tobacco smoke will poison meat.
The insoector has made Mime interest

Cutting Home beef int i thin *licen he ex

a nnngty dog. Toe animal would not

concealed in a piece of bread. This the
dog swallowed. In twenty minutes Ue
showed symptoms of poisoning, and in a
short time was dead. Similar experi
ments were tried on other dogs, rahbite
and guinea pigs, and the result was the

THE BAKER LETTER.
What suu« of the Near • •> Newspaper*
tl»v« H:iif to >»j of' It.
Theptop!.’ m this *e. *ioo are thorough
ly familiar with (ha Van Baker case and
take a deep interest in anything that per
tain* to it on acconut of the horror of the
(■•■id-blooded murder of the two women,
tiie conviction of Baker for the crime, and
the remarkable manner in which he bn*
maintained hie innocence, and kept Irom
making any br*»k since his conviction
that won Id show him to he the murderer.
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

confession was sa absolutely absurd as to
h»* ridiculous. The iurd who wrote it
knew very little about the murder.”
The Bsllaire Independent comes up this
wry:
“The Wheeling Register publishes a
long letter purporting to be the conferiion
of tome fellow who a si‘ttd in t urdet'ng
Van Baker's wife and ruotber-in.law. 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. ”
