AFFIDAVIT TO EXPLAIN PROTRACTED FOREIGN RESIDENCE AND TO OVERCOME PRESUMPTION OF EXPATRIATION
Charles H. Baker ceased residing in US in Nov 1910. He resided in Australia, New Zealand, England and Switzerland. Went to Australia and married. Obtained divorced in 1915. Residing now in Lausarne SWI. No business. No property. Father is Amos Prescott Baker.
OPINION OF OFFICER TAKING AFFIDAVIT
Applicant is the most obnoxious person I know of in this district and country. Constantly expelled from one "Canton" to another for theft, drunkenness etc. It will become impossible for him to remain here much longer. He is penniless but of good family from Boston, Mass. His parents have nothing to do with him and only send him some $50.00 per month. He was expelled from France in 1915 for theft and he is unable to get to Italy from this country owing to the fact that he is wanted there. Applicant's political views I cannot control, as he is a morphine user and has the habit of talking so much in various public places that he is liable to get himself into trouble. Recently he told to all who cared to listen that he was an American Secret Service man and that information coupled with the fact that this country is investing with a good quantity of enemy subjects would naturally lead persons to believe that we had in our country disreputable person engaged in this work. I respectfully request that a passport be granted him for IMMEDIATE return and have his family send this office enough money to buy his ticket back to the United States.
