Baker deposits cash in leu of bond in petit larceny case
Alexander Baker paid $500 to the county clerk in lieu of bond for Martin Baker who faces circuit court on petit larceny charges. Prosecutor Emrick anticipates Baker will skip trial, aiming to speed the case and avoid real estate liens. The report recalls Baker’s earlier arrest for stealing from a drunken man, with two witnesses. Prosecutor Emrick seeks trial settings for J. F. Shell and to have ex-prosecutor N. D. Doughman assist. Shell is reportedly in New Orleans pursuing a similar scheme as alleged here. He is on $3,000 bond. The record notes other local cases including George Bowers and Willis tle’s appeal.
