Show The Lawyers Knew. Wichita lawyers are yet talking i about the way Wallace B. Baker, who was found guilty last week in the district dis-trict court of selling mortgaged property, prop-erty, showed his ignorance of married mar-ried life. The prosecuting attorney wa3 trying to show that P.aker wasn't married. He asked Baker the following follow-ing questions: "Did you ever send your wife any dresses?" "Yes, I sent her four dresses." "What kind of dresses Uid you send her?" "I sent her one good dress and three common dresses." "How much did you pay for the good dress, Mr. Baker?" "Oh, I guess about $4.50." The lawyers put Mr. Baker down then and there as an unmarried man and a poor guesser. Topeka Capital. |
