Baker has indicated he will be tried first for the slaying of Mary ‘Breeden. ~The trial judge is Morris W. McManaman; who is sitting for the first time since his appointment to succeed the late Judge William Ricketts.

ORAFTEE HOPES AGAINST HOPE

This particular Marion County

selectee knew, when he took pen in

hand to fill in his questionnaire, that he was as good as in the Army then, He was the right age, the right health, had no dependents, and was not engaged in a defense industry. ; But, though he was candid, he: also was a last straw grasper. He wrote in the place for remarks: “I don’t see how you could put me in anything but Class 1-A, but please feel free to try.”
