DENIES BEING IN TROUBLEBEFQRE Marital Mixups Explained by Dr. Berry As Due to Hard Life of Doctors' Wives; First Wife Friendly Two Killed, Many Hurt In Tube Crash OLYMPIA. Aug. 28. ,AP) Dr, Kent W, Be try. whose alleged ktdnap- beatlng of Irving Baker here last Friday night set Olympla tongue wagging at a fast pace, said today I.e "never before bad been In any kind of trouble." He and four others are charged with first degree kidnaping and as sault In connection with the affair, allegedly the climax of a Fourth of , July party during which Baker la accused by Berry of Illicit relations with the physician's wife. The former Montesano, Wash., and Roundup and Lew la town, Mont., doc tor said even now he has not been served with a warrant for his arrest although he Is In the county Jail In lieu of (25.000 bait. "They just picked me up." Dr. Berry aald. "I never have been arrested before this." It's Hard Life Borne marital troubles he admitted ha has had, but added, "my first wife and I lived together for 16 years. Any doctor's wife has a hard life," he added. "A physician. Is cone from his home at all hours of the day and night, and for long In tervala. "But she will" tell you I never was unkind to her. She still likes me." The well-known cnpltal city physic ian said he had heard reports to the effect he had been In diffi culties during his res Id en co in Mon tesnno a few years ago. "Why, I never had any trouble down there. This la all there Is to that: "I was attending a woman patient, when the front door of the house opened and someone entered. The husband went into the front room and discovered a Negro had entered. He told him to leave, and after they had a few words I went out there nnd told him to get out. "He ran out the front door. Deputized A gill nt Will . "I later returned downtown and met the night marshal, who had ! been told of the Incident, and he deputized me-agalnst my will to go out and pick up the Negro and nrtnff him to jail, "Another man volunteered to ac company me, an offer I was very happy to ncccpt. After we had cruised about for somo time, search ing for the man, we came upon a crowd of persons their arms and legs in rapid motion. "We rescued the badly - beaten Negro from the crowd nnd returned mm to the town marshal. Now, If there Is anything wrong in that, I don't know what It Is. We saved that man from thoso people. Of course, ha later died, but I had nothing to do with that. I was never charged with having participated In that af fair." The Interview started when the doctor was asked about his health. He aald he was having lots of good sleep and felt fine. "There Is noth ing to worry about. When a man Is right, nothing disturbs him," he said. "When thla all comes out, the whole story, you. will understand," he continued.
