Mystery surrounds the identity of George Baker, 60, Home Colony farmer who was shot and killed at noon May 6 by Mrs. Anna Carlson at his little home on Joe's Say, near Tacoma. It has been learned that Baker's real name was John Miller. Tele grams have been sent to Brooksfield, Mo., where his relatives were report ed to live, but Attorney Fred Remann, who is handling the estate, has been unable' to locate anyone who ever heard of him or his family. Search also is' being made for a safety deposit box Miller is known to have had. One box already has been found. It contained bonds worth J4000. , Estate Seems Mislaid Miller's statements to Remann over the period when Remann was defend ing him against lawsuits brought by Mrs. Carlson for breach of promise and false imprisonments, led Remann to believe there is still another box containing a small fortune. Remann said that he had been un able to find all of Miller's property. Miller spent 20 years in Alaska, prospecting and mining over nearly every gold field. He came out sev eral years ago with a "stake," the ex act size of which he kept a secret. During his stay in Alaska he always went under the name of George Baker, and he made no intimate friends. Even after he settled at Joe's Bay on a small farm he took no one into his confidence. . Alaskan 'Stake" Admitted Once, while In a communicative mood, he Informed Remann that he had "made a stake" In Alaska and intended to spend the rest of his life quietly and at ease on a little farm. Search of Miller's house and cloth ing failed to reveal even a scrap of information about his identity. He had no old letters or records. He kept no old books. He had no bank accounts. He carried large sume of money, however, in his shoes. At one time he took his shoes off in Remann's of fice and extracted several J100 bills, Remann said. On his way to Tacoma in a launch after he had been shot by Mrs. Carl son, Baker or Miller, started to tell his secret to Tom Brothers, a neigh bor who was helping him. He gave the information that his name was John Miller, then hesitated. "Oh. I'm going to pull out of this all right. I think I will settle up my affairs for myself," he declared. He relapsed into silence and within ten minutes he was dead. Woman Is New Frlend Baker met the Carlson woman after he settled at Joe's Bay. According to his story, she made advances to him. He charged ' her with burning down his house and chicken house At one time he had her arrested and tried for insanity, but she was freed. She charged he made love' to her and promised to marry her. This he de nied. At the time of the trial of the suits totaling $15,000, which Mrs. Carl son brought against Miller, he, had arranged for the sale of all his prop erty and had a fortune in his shoes. He often declared if the juries de cided against him he would never pay the woman a cent. "I would like to locate the man's heirs," said Attorney Remann- "I would like to know his story. He may have had something to hide. I don't know. He never talked to any body. He was always a recluse, and very close-mouthed. He may have a wife and family, or brothers or sis ters, somewhere. But, unless we find them the estate will go to the state." The probate of the Miller estate is now under way in the Pierce county superior court.
