Jennings Son Is in PdflLind Aiding Officers I'OUTI.AXU. May 1 9. The mur derer of Mrs. Helen Jennings at the (lore (arm, and Fred Hint man, the automobile man who drove the slav er from Portland, Monday night, probably wore a dark-striped, white shirt, size l.V.:. ripped under the armpits, and fastidiously darned with white thread where a collar bad rubbed holes. The torn cuff and (sold link found in the roadway near the blood stained Manama hat itirentifled as Kistmun's were not from the shirt or the iitney driver, as assumed by the authorities, but were torn from the shirt, the blood-stained remainder of which was found yesterday by Con stable Viretl Wickers, of Sherwood, Ax'ashinnton County, and Deputy Sheriff Robert I'llilllps, of Portland, 4 jo yards north of the Clore home. Si.tcct' Shirt lairixcr. Itennett Thompson, ex-convict, the suspect arrested within IS hours af ter the crime on circumstantial evi dence which satisfied Washington County and Portland authorities of his tsullt, has a thick neck and. ac cording to th authorities, wears a 1W or 17 shirt. Kistnian. the nig-ht he was mur dered, wore a blue chanibrav shirt size I 7 '.j. with soft collar and cuffs of the same material. Sheriff .1. K. Itcevcs. of Washing ton County, announced last night that he was coming to Portland to day to see if Mrs. Kistnian could Identify the torn shirt found yester dav as her husband's, but Mrs. hist man told the Oreaonian last night she was absolutely positive her bus band wore no such shirt. Theories Arc I --t't. The finding of this shirt upsets the house of cards the detectives had built fastening the crime on Thomp son, for there is every indication that the stained shirt found yesterday was worn by tl an who commit ted the two ghastly murders. This conclusion is predicated on these facts: The cuff and link was found Tuesday in the roadwav. :um vards from the Core ranch home The green laprobe. matter with blood, flesh fragments and human hair: the stained Panama hat iden tided as ltistman's. and the red ittered elect ion card, were found In the bru-h at the edge of the road wav. carefully hidden. . The shirt citf evidently bad been dropped by accident. The body of the shirt found yes terday was minus the two eufis. The murderer is now supposed to nave t torn from his shirt the cuffs con talning the links by which he might be identified and have still ten mem In his pockets. Hut be dropped one unnoticed, when he hid the other cle'vs to the crime. The cuffless shirt was found at th !im of a small puddle of water on a slightly marked trail through the woods north of Mrs. Jennings home, and on the route to the Ore gon Klectric Railroad tracks on the line from I'm 'land to McMinnville. KiMiluin Slilrilciiil KliM. Kvorv indication points to the probability that the murderer killed Uistman before arriving at the home of Mrs. Jennings, and had disposed of the body. Tire new theory is that on the way to the railroad after com mitting the second deed, the nian snipped nt this pool to wa-b the blood stains trom his hand" anl face, wiping himself on the shirt from which lie thought he bad torn iden tifing marks. The shirt was torn under the arm pits and smeared with graihite or tar in spots. There n.ay be ilitin Hi's'iable fib'-er prints on the shirr Ms. overir.g that the o'fl ers ha i taken for fact the re- ogr.it inn of the shirt cuff and link by jitney driven a- les'man'. the Oreaonian secured a statement from Mrs. Uistman ia-t ' night, absolutely disproving su h ar ' idetillfi, anon.
