‘THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1929. DEATH N BURNIG AUTO NSLVED New Orleans Police Investi- gate Theory of Violence to Mrs. Baker. By the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, March 20.—Without bositive proof that Mrs. Janet Baker, soclally prominent widow, came to her death by accident in a burning automo- bile in Audubon Park drive early yes- terday, authorities still were investigat- ing theories of violence. Coroner George F. Roeling expressed “reasonable certainty” that the woman met accidental death. Police had before them a statement made by H. C. Spalding, a boarder at the home of Mrs. Baker, that he “saw a man dressed in a blue suit, gray top coat and light gray hat” enter the au- tomobile of Mrs. Baker as she left the residence, and take the driver's seat. The next sight of Mrs. Baker proved to be her identification as the charred body of a woman found after a blazing automobile had been extinguished by firemen. _After the fire the body was discovered sitting upright in the driver’s seat, the legs and arms charred, the torso burn- ed and the right hand gripping the emergency brake. Mrs. Baker’s family conections were prominent in several Southern cities. She was the widow of Colin M. Baker, brother of an associate publisher of the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
