Baker Told to Serve Full Fifteen-Year Term in Iowa Penitentiary
Des Moines reports Governor B F Carroll refused clemency for Guy Baker who was sentenced to fifteen years for killing Oliver P Driver in Lone Tree. Baker will be sent to Fort Madison immediately after the Iowa Supreme Court reduced his sentence from twenty one to fifteen years. Attorneys pressed for a stay and a hearing before the governor and parole board but were rebuffed. Baker, from Muscatine, was convicted in Johnson County District Court by Judge R P Howell after a trial two years ago.
