LITTLE GIRL TELLS OF HOW
BAND OF MEN TOOK LIVES
OF MOTHER AND FATHER
Waco, Texas. Sunday morning re- 1
vealed one of (he boldest murders in ;
the history of McLennan County i
with the discovery at Concord, seven
miles northeast of Waco, of the life
less bodies of W. H. Baki r and his
wife, Mrs. Lou M Baker, while Ho- !
mer Turk, 13. years old,' was found
witli his skull crushed, but still alive.
Mi. Baker, who was proprietor of !
a grocery at Concord, was shot
through the head, while his wife’s
head had hi en cleft open with an ax.
Seven negroes are now in cus-
tody of the officers, while nine Mexi-
cans are under surveillance. The
only eyewitness to the murder who
is in condition to talk is Willie Lou
Baker, the 4 year-old daughter of the
murdered couple, and who seems re-
markahiy bright and observing for
a child of such tender age.
"They shot daddy in the lot, then
two men came to the house and i
asked mamma for mony. She handed
them something, then they hit her,”,:
declared the child, in giving her ver- j
sion to Deputy Sheriff M. Burton,
who, with Deputy Lee Shannon, was
the first to reach the Baker home af
ter the murder had been reported
They were soon joined by Sheriff Bob
Buchanan, Deputy Mack Wood, City
Detective Joe Rutland and Police
man Tom Abbott.
The child also told the officers that
the men looked like Mexicans, but
talked like negroes. She declared
that she remained in the bed after
the attack was made on Mrs. Baker,
and which the child says she wit-:
nessed, thinking that the body of the
wounded Turk boy on tlie floor near ■
the bed was that of a negro.
J. L. Turk, father of the boy who 1
was so terribly wounded and who j
lives about 200 yards south or the'
Bi ker home, awoke Sunday morning
at daylight, unable to find his son j
who nad gone over to the Baker j
house Salurday night to play domi-
noes he immediately went to ihe Ba-1
ker home, finding his boy lying in
a pool of blood on the bedroom floor, I

If people past sixty years of age
ould be persuaded to go to bed as

in bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especialy

Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed bv
any of the more serious diseases. 8
