SHOOTS TO DEATH UNCLE IN SUMTER: TRAGEDY AT DEPOT:
William M. Baker Kills Irby I. Baker:
Wounded Man, Citizen of Lee County Passes Away Without Making Statement:
Special to the State>
Sumter, Feb. 19 --- A family tragedy occurred at the Atlantic Coast Line Passenger station this morning about 5:30 o’clock when Irby Israel Baker, age 53, was shot by his nephew, William Morgan Baker. A single barrel shotgun was used and the entire load of No. 5 shot passed through the body. The wounded man was carried to the Toumey Hospital, but died two hours later without regaining sufficient consciousness to make a statement.
Irby I. Baker and the daughter of William M. Baker walked to town early in the morning and the father, believing that his daughter and Irby I. Baker were about to take the 5 o’clock train for Augusta, followed them. No words passed between the two men at the depot, it is said. The shooting took place as soon as the younger Baker came near his uncle.
Mack Newell Baker, a brother of William Morgan Baker, was also the the station armed with a double barrel shotgun. After the shooting the girl, Miss Edith May Baker, handed a pistol to a policeman.
All of the persons concerned are from Lee County and live near St. Charles. William Morgan Baker, his brother and his daughter are in the county jail here pending a preliminary hearing. The jury at the coroner’s inquest found the Mack Newell Baker was accessory to the shooting of Irby Israel Baker by William Morgan Baker.
