ISriCUl. TILIGUiX TO TUX DISrATCIM
Wheeling, December 12. iA letter was
received in this city yesterday, postmarked
Columbus, O., December 10, which seems
destiend to create si good deal of excitement
throughout the Panhandle counties in this
State, and in Western Pennsylvania and
Eastern Ohio. It relates to the fiendish
murder of JJrs. Eliza Baker and her mother.
Mrs. Luzella McWha, at Holliday's Cove,
Hancock connty, on the night of May 0,
1S87, for which crime Van B. Baker was twice
convicted, and who was sent to Moundsville
last weet for life, after a vain appeal to the
Supreme Conrt of the State.
The double murder was perhaps the most
blocdr affair in the criminal history of this
portion pf the country, and created the wildest
excitement over a larce extent of territory.
Snce the second conviction of Baker, which
ev.nt occurred at Wellsburc. thero having
beeq a change of venue from Hancock county,
an the dismissal of the aprteal by the Supreme
Conrt, the matter dropped from the public
mind, bnt the receipt of the accompanying
lctt-.r has again stirred up the excitement, and
their is talk of further legal proceedings, al
though just what can be done is not apparent.
Following is the letter, which is given with all
its imperfections:
JUT ALLEGED CONFESSION.
ft
"I want to tell you and your readers some
thing about the Baker murder, as he is now in
the penitentiary. Baker did not do it Myself
and two other men done it. We went and
rented a lot and saw they haa money then went
back in the eveninc and saw the women there
alone and 1 went to the back door and nocked
and while 1 was there the other two broke in a
front shutter and got In, for we saw the win
dow was up. The woman opened the front door
and then is when the two went in the room and
the woman Bcreamed ana was strut with an
iron bolt and nocked down I pushed the door
open and rushed in and shut the door.
"The woman run in front room and picked up
her shoes and started to run out and was
pocked down by same man with bolt just as she
got in the kitchen. Both women screamed but
the first one the most The same man then bit
her six or seven times and killed be- The other
woman was bit six or seven times and killed
We heard a noise outside and looked and seen
some men out by the stable. We quickly all of
ns blinded the kitchen windows with several
things andalso pulled down the front blinds and
carried the women into front room and then
wailed till we saw the men go away
I seen an ax by the side of a sned and went
out and crot it and broke onen two trunks and in
one I found 350 dolars in bills and 8 dolars and
71 cents in coins and a little piece of gold In
the buro we got 1 dolarandTcentsand in a
pocket book in clothes press we got 159 dolars
and GO cents. We did not Bee any watches. We
took three shirts two white and one wool one
and I fonnd a fine opera glass and 1 took out ot
the trunk an odd stone like a worm or bug. We
found nothing of value in any other place.
DETAILS OF THE PEED.
"The man who. killed them got his shirt
bloody and he burnt it in the stove using some
little wood and paper that was in a box The ax
was not used only the bolt and it they dig the
-women up and let doctors see them you will see
the doctors lied and I am telling what is true
We took the shoes the women had in her hands
and put them under a bed after we had looked
in them for money for she held on to them so
tightly we thonght she had her money or dia
monds in there We undressed them and looked
for money in their clothes bnt found none Both
women had night caps on and when the ono
started to run ont he grabbed ber by the head
and her cap pulled back but not off but the
String broke on the other one and it come off
and we pulled them back on again We found a
tub of water in the kitchen and earned it into
xn room ana washed and wiped on the dresses
and throwd everything into the tnb of water
Wcfoupd an envellope in trunk with some
kind of notes in and when we went out we went
back to stable and throwd them in there in the
back stall and we also throwd a 1 dollar bill and
, some silver change in toe manger That man
, ,who swore he found thera papers out in the
orchard lied or else somebody took them and
Sut them there When we were at tne stable a
ogkeut barkln and somebody called him in
the house an tlu other side of the lot We went
back by the house and out the side gate and on
np the road above the station and there I
jumped on a freight train and went to Pitts
burgh and the other two men went their own
way The man who struck the blows got killed
in a railroad wreck about a year ago.
"Two of ns are living yet and are both to
gether. "We are sorry for Baket for he is innocent

BAKES BELIEVES IT.
Your correspondent saw Baker at the peni
tentiary to-night. He broke down on reading
the letter and cried like a child. He said the
letter must be what it purports to be and reit
erated his innocence. He said: "I will show
yon one thing which stamps the letter as tree.
That is Its reference to the papers thrown in
the stable which one of the witnesses found
under the fence in the yard. I found those
Sapers in the stable the day after the murder,
v first impulse was to show them, but when I
reflected that my story would not be believed I
thrust them under the fence. I never told any
one bnt Co onel Arnett, one of my counsel, and
he told me to keep it quiet. My other counsel
did not know it at all."
Colonel Arnett confirmed this statement this
evening.

WHO WILL' TAKE THEM.
Soon Censn.-TaklDtt Officials Needed
Some Think. These Cities Should Fnrn
Ish the Superintendent.
Yet a lew more moons shall wax and wane
ere the census enumerator will be around
poking his neb into your business and yon
cannot shunt him as you would a tramp
bv offering him some menial employment,
so you may as well make up your mind to
treat him civilly and" bear the infliction,
tell him your religion, business and a thou
sand and one other things if he asks. Ladies
under SO are not reauired, at least not ex
pected to be altogether certain of their ages,
but are expected to get there approximately.
The matter is reallv one of importance,
and it seems strange that the politicians
haven t been heard from before now, as ine
principal officers of the census in each dis
trict are important, even though the tenure
is ephemeral, while the job of enumerator
for ten days at 55 a day, is certainly a better
one than that of juryman at f2 a day for
two weeks, unless it inay be that a very lazy
man would choose the latter.
The Ninth district includes Allegheny,
Beaver, Washington and Greece counties,
and is one of the most, if not the
most important in the State, its
interests not only being very large,
but exceedingly complex, and requiring
in the Superintendent and some of his chief
assistants a large knowledge of business and
manufacturing. In each district there is a
supervisor, special agent on recorded in
debtedness, one on manufactures, etc, and a
host of enumerators whose term (that of
enumerator) is limited to 10 days. In them
the requisites are honesty, ordinary capacity
and the ability to write plainly, but tor the
higher offices, especially the Superintend,
ent, a high grade of ability is needed, and
there is an impression that he should belong
either to Pittsburg or Allegheny, that is
that view prevails largely in these cities
among those who have expressed themselves.
The iollowing is the expression of a mer
chant on the subject:
The varied interests of Pittsburg. Allegheny
and surroundings aro of so great importance
that manufacturers and merchants will natur
ally expect the chief officers to be men par
ticularly qualified for the duties devolving npon
them. The supervisor of the district should be
a man fully conversant with the business and
iudustnesof Pittsburg and surroundings, and
would be expected to be a citizen ot rittsuurg
or Allegheny, of long acquaintance with their
business. Our Congressmen will undoubtedly
look to it that such qualified person is named
and appointed by Superintendent of Census
Porter. It is, however, also important that the
minor positions be carefully filled, and the
people's representatives in the lower House of
Congress will be expected to see that the
proper persons be selected.
An effort was made to ascertain of politi
cians who were likely to be applicants, but the
attempt was a failure, and it looked as though
Mr. Porter might be left to make his own
selection, the only opinion given being that the
chiet should be a rnan St to handle the
matter.
Of course, it isn't likely that these posi
tions will go begging, as a sufficient num
ber of people can always be found to sacri
fice themselves pro bono publico. So far the
only man prominently spoken of as superin
tendent is a man from a Washington county
hamlet, but there is talent in these two cities
too modest as yet to nominate itself that
might be induced to enter the lists, and no
doubt the emergency can be depended npon
to trot out a local man able and willing to
serve.

the streets of that locality are left in.
Many of the thoroughfares resemble coun

places it is much deeper. No action has
yet been taken by the citizens to remedy the
condition, but there is talk abont holding a

Pittsburg citizens are not free from
wretched streets. Denniston avenue, from
Fifth to Penn, has been in shocking condi

The citizens are indignant, milkmen and
