Father Is Accused of Injuring Infant Son

FATHER IS ACCUSED OF INJURING INFANT SON Suffering from the last stages of spinal meningitis, Clarence Baker, 3 months old, of 710 Woodland avenue, was taken to the Cooper Hospital, Camden, last night in a dying condition. As a result of a story told by Mrs. J. Higgins, an aunt, of 1422 South Tenth street, the father of the infant, Anthony Baker, was arrested by Detective Brothers and held pending a further investigation. Mrs. Higgins told Dr. Paul Markley at the hospital that some night since the father, while on a drunken rampage, threw the little one on the floor. From this the disease is supposed to have developed, Dr. Markley stating to the police that it was hardly likely the infant can recover. When arrested Baker emphatically denied the story of Mrs. Higgins, asserting he loved his little son and would not harm him.
