REMAINS UNCLAIMED
Secret of Identity and For
tune Carried to Grave.
HEIRS ARE NOT LOCATED
Tacoma Farmer, Reputed to Hare
Alaskan Fortune, Dies at
Hands of Woman Enemy.
TACOMA- Wash., May 23. (Spe
cial.) 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.
