Betty Baker' s Cou1n1s el Plans Final Defense Husband Tells DeVine He Knew Nothing Of Wife's Actions Until Trial (Continued from Page 1) bert J. Rapp, after whom the defense counsel will again address the court. Asked by Mr. De Vine "the nature of your married life," Patrolman Baker said that he and his wife "got along fine together. I nev'er sus- pected there was anything wrong. We were happy so far as I knew." He denied later to Prosecutor Rapp that he had ever come home and found Mrs. Baker and Schneider together. He stated to the defense attorney that when Mrs. Baker told him that she had attempted to scare Schneid- er with a gun in September, 1935, be- cause he had lied to her, he replied: "That gun is not for you. Leave it alone. What do you care if he won't tell you the truth." Baker Describes Events He maintained to the prosecution that Mrs. Baker told him what the lies were, but that he did not re- member them. The testimony of Patrolman Baker as to what happened the night of the killing, June 29, 1936, tied in perfect- ly with that of his wife. He related how she told him "something terrible friend Milton D. Shancupp to come has happened" and refused to say what and how she telephoned her to her aid. When Mr. Chancupp ar- rived, the policeman said, Mrs. Bak- er asked him to take his sister to his cousin's "in Shanny's car.' He did it without asking questions, he added. For Patrolman Baker's failure to take definite action to ascertain what the "terrible something" was. he was, by questions, criticized by Mr. Rappl for his failure to do his duty as a policeman. Mr.mBaker said he and Schneider. mutually agreed that the latter was to buy for Mrs. Baker's birthday the "slave bracelet," a state's exhibit. Mrs. Jacob Andres, wife of the sheriff and county jail matron, later testified that Mrs. Baker asked that the brace- let be sent to her in jail because she feared "it might be used as damag- ing evidence against her." She Called Shancupp The steadfast husband continually referred to Schneider as "he"as his wife watched him with composure. Prosecutor Rapp brought out in his cross examination of the policeman that he was in a bedroom, the door to which he did not recall closing, three feet from the telephone Mrs. Baker used to call Shancupp. "The only part of the conversation I heard," he told Mr. Rapp, "was that I heard her ask Shanny to come right away. I don't remember hearing anything else. I was dressing." "Yet you wanted to find out what had happened, didn't you?" the pros- ecutor demanded. "Yes," Mr. Baker admitted. Phoned From Jail Mrs. Andres, who left the stand as the . court recessed,, told Mr. De Vine that Mrs. Baker had telephoned from the jail "several times" so soft- ly no one could follow the conversa- tion. "But maybe she just didn't want to be heard," the matron added. "Would you say her normal voice was low?" the defense counsel queried. "Yes." Mrs. Andres replied. "When did you first learn Betty had killed Cub," Mr. Rapp wanted to know. "Betty told me," Patrolman Baker answered, "that night." "Betty said she had murdered Cub, didn't she," Prosecutor Rapp asked suddenly. "She said she'd killed him," Mr. Baker retorted. "When did you first hear the word 'accident?'" Mr. Rapp was firing questions at him in a steady stream. "That night," the witness an- swered. Hammer Action Shown- "Who used it?" "Betty." "After she had talked to Shan- Cupp?" "Yes." Mr. Baker .admitted during his cross examination that he had shown his wife how to pull the hammer of his gun back the one time she fired it on the police rifle range. "~You showed her where the trig- ger was?" the prosecutorasked. "Yes, I showed her," the patrolman said. "That was your purpose in being there, wasn't it to show her how to handle a gun?" "Not exactly." "Was it or wasn't it?" Mr. Rapp pursued. There was a pause. Finally Mr. Baker returned: "yes." Cashier Plans Use Of Pwer Of Press' A4gainst 'Welshers' The power of the press is no empty1 phrase to Boyd C. Stephens, Univer-1 sity cashier. Mr. Stephens read this headline in Wednesday's Daily, "Few 'Welshers' Among Student Borrowers, Loan Of- ficers Say." The story told of the thousands of conscientious students who had borrowed money through Mr. Stephens office and the remark- ably small per cent of them that had, failed to pay back this academic debt. As Mr. Stephens read through the article his mind did not reflect on the thousands of wonderfully honest borrowers but rather on those few who had failed to repay their loans. Thinking of the non-payers, Mr. Ste- phens conceived the notion that with the help of about 1,000 copies of The Daily he might loosen up some of the otherwise 'welshers.' Because the examination schedule was published in the same issue as Mr. Stephens' article there was a sell- out of this paper and he was not able to obtain any Dailies, but with the power of the press still in mind he is planning to have the article and headline reprinted for wide- spread distribution.
