POLICE THINK GRIMES MAY HAVE BEEN AN ACCOMPLICE OF MARTIN Case Seemed Clear Against Dope Fiend Until New Testimony Appeared to Implicate Ex-ConviGt Mrs. Martin will Stand by Her Husband and Declares that PoliGe Forced Her to Speak. PORTLAND, Or., May 9. Just as ( the police applied the thumb sercks clinching their ease against Edward H, Murtin, charged with the murder of Nathan Wolff, now light was thrown ' on the tragedy by Attorney W. R; Me (larry this niorniug which, if corrobo rated, in conjunction with tho alibi Martin promises to establish, may prove him innocent of the crime. Thomas Oodson, a farmer of Oregon City, said Attorney Me(3ar-y,' is ready i to take oath that ho saw an ex-convict I limned f I rimes in Wolff's store last Fri day eveniug at (t o'clock. This testimony, which may bo the means of clearing Mart hi of tho crime of which he is accused or establish the fact that he wan aided by an accom plice in making way with Wolff, was given to Attorney Mednrry voluntarily hy Dndhoii, when it wan reported in the press that Attorney M'cOarry would lead Martin's fight for his life. At torney MolJarry decided not to repre sent Martin, but not willing to be a block In the way of the prisoner, lie 11 divulged tho evidence in his posses sion. The attorney withheld the idon 'tity of his informant mid when con fronted with this discovery Attorney McOnrry admitted Dodson is tho man who supplied the startling clew. Aside from the promised alibi of Mar tin, the testimony uf 1odson will un doubtedly bo the prisoner's d of enso, and if it is corroborated, the whole framework uf I he mass cl' evidence gathered by detectives against Martin might necessarily bo undermined, as to prove the presence ol an accomplice would be difficult.

Reports from the department of justice and interior to the effect that applicants for the lltiaold grant lands of the Oregon & California railroad will have no prior ity of right over oiher applicants has brought consternation into the hearts of a host of claimants, who rushed on to these lands and paid high sums to unscrupulous locators. Di Linn county alone possibly 50,000 acres of these lands have been filed on and applied for and the tender made to the railroad company offices at San Francisco. Fees ranging from $15 to $50 have been paid for this privilege, and the part ie locating the seekers after timber lands assured them that they would have a priority of right and have the first undisputed claim to the lands in question should the govern ment succeed in their efforts to de flare the lands forfeit. Many of such ncations were recorded in the county reeorder'a office, but thin avails n.ith- ASYLUM SUPERINTENDENT SAYS THAW IS INSANE POT'GHKKKPSIR. N. Y.. May !. Dr. Anins T.

"Hut Field identifies you as that man," he was told. "Why, that's preposterous," replied the prisoner. " How in the name of God could I murder Wolff after half past five Friday night and be at my home with my wife at five minutes to six.

SCOURING COUNTRY FOR MURDERESS! i I Woman Held by Syracuse PoliGe Suspected of Be ing the Chicago Murder ess, Mrs. Guinness. SYRACCSK, N. V., May 9. The po lice have thoroughly examined two women taken from a train at Rochester, one of whom was suspected of being Mrs. Belle Ounuesa. The younger woman "gave tho name of Mrs, L. A. Her ron and said her companion wait her mother, Mrs. Lucy Burton, nnd that they lived iu Chicago aud both had been at their summer home in Frank lin, Pa. Chief Cadiu will detain the womeu for further identification, al though he admits tho younger woman does not resemble Mrs. dullness. FKAXKLIN, Pa.. May !). Mrs. F. B. Herron, held at Syracuse, Uvch in the country seven miles from Frank lin, with her mother, nn aged lady. Mrs. Herron 'h husband died iu the south last winter and the body was brought here for burial. Tho family is one of good reputat ion. LA POHTK, Jud., May Or. 11. II. Long, one of the physicians who per formed nu autopsy on the body of the woman found burned iu the ruins of the dullness homo, expresses the belief that the body is not that of Mrs. Oun ness, but of another uukuown woman of refinement. He also expresses the belief that the skulls of the children were crushed before Tho hotifiu bnrued. That Mrs. Oonness is still alive and that she set fire to her homo, burned her children and left tho corpse of a woman in the house to throw off sim picioti is the belief of Attorney Wor den, who was well acquainted with the woman. The horror was increased wheu tho searchers, whose work had been inter rupted on Thursday by a heavy rain, dug up two additional bodies, making the known number of persons suppos edly murdered by Mrs. Beulah Gun nesi 1 1. The searchers first came upon n body that hnd uot completely disintegrated, but it was in such a state that its sex could not be determined. A few minutes later, not far removed from the first corpse, was found a skel eton that fell apart when the diggers attempted to remove it. The bones were lying in n box and beside them were a pair of woman's heavy calfskin shoes. The shoes wero partly burned and tho bones showed evidence of also having been burned. Both bodies were dismembered, an were the bodies toimn on Tuoaaav and Wednesday. Continuing their search, the diggers al noon found the bones of unoth body by iligginb in tho lot adjoining the dimness home. The bones were re moved from a hole two feet from those found this morning. Tho sex cannot be determined. This makes three bod ies unearthed today and a total of 12 since the search began. Some persons have advanced the tbcorv that the Oun ness farm is an old graveyard, hut teh oldest inhabitants declare that there was never a burying gronnd in that v( e.initv.

MURDERED MAN'S BODY BURNED TO CONCEAL CRIME Port Towusond Scono of Bloody Mur der of Artilleryman by Comrados Greedy for His Money Unsuccess ful Attempt to Cremate Body. PORTLAND, Or., May i. A special to the livening Telegram from Port Townsend says one of the most bloody murders ever committed in Washing ton wus perpetrated nt Fort Wordeii last night at the baud headquarters. Some time during the night Henry L. Johnson, "irst clarionettist of the Sixth rrfillery, was murdered and his body dismembered and thrust into a heating furnace in the basement of the sol diers' barracks. Tho fire was then started with the evident purpose of concealing tho ghastly crime by eremuting the body. This morning tho charred body was dragged from the fire by tho firemen when they went to fire up for the day. The remains are past .erognit ion, but were identified by portions of the uni- 1 form, which had adhered to tin mains. .Notwithstanding the fact that the limbs of the victim were severed .mil the trunk ami skull battered, there are uo indications of the deed or blood iraees about the, building. Johnson was ti money lender and hint , uight .lames Holt, second cook, and Private Knight, who were in Johnson s lebt, quarreled with him. They were both caught in hiding today. Indica tions tiro that tho murder was for the purpose of robbery. RECRUITING FOREST MEN IN JOSEPHINE OHANTS PASS, Or., May 11. Super-1 isor M. J.
