Aged convict James Baker dies at Michigan City prison
James Baker, an Allen County man known as one of the state prison's most notorious inmates, died Monday at Michigan City prison. He was about 70, had served twenty four years of a life sentence for the 1881 murder of William Howell in Lafayette Township, near Fort Wayne. Baker was unclaimed and his body to be used by the Valparaiso medical college. The crime occurred August 4, 1881, when Baker shot Howell on a wheat stack after an alleged grievance, then fired at Howell's son John M. Howell. Baker was captured by nearby farmers. He was tried in Adams County after a change of venue, convicted March 14, 1882, and sentenced to life. Governor Mount parole a few years ago, but Baker returned to prison. He previously assaulted his brother in law in 1872 and served two years for that.
