Journal Star June 11, 1902. Joe Baker charged with the murder of his stepson Martin and the assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill his other step-son, George at 3504 S. Adams St. Last night was given a hearing this morning before Judge Sucher, at which he waived examination in each case. Under the charge of murder, he was bound over to the grand jury without bail and under the second charge the formality of waiving $5,000 bail was entered on the court records. The crimes were committed at the home of the accused shortly before the midnight hour when the inhuman father fired from outside the building through an open window, striking the elder boy in the top of the head, tearing a ghastly hole through which the brains oozed. Death was instantaneous. The younger boy started to leave the house and as he turned the corner of the building, received the contents of the gun in his left elbow. His wound is not considered serious. After firing a last shot, Baker ran and although a large posse of men with the police started after him it was not until four o'clock this morning that he was apprehended. Officer Webber caught him at South Adams and Washington Sts. He was dodging from corner to corner in dark places and attracted the attention.
