HUSBAND-SUSPECTED OF THE CRIME M Was Seem to Eater the Park With Her Shortly Before She Wm Killed. The breaking of day yesterday morning revealed the fact that the shots and screams heard In "Willamette Heights Park Thursday night were the hope less outcries of a mortally wounded woman, and that a foul murder had been committed. Sir. and Mrs. L. I. Carter, living within 100 yards of the spot, were the first ap prised of the terrible reality by discover ing In a thicket the rigid body of Mrs. Naomi Moss, daughter of Charles H. Clute, of Portland. The detectives and patrolmen were within a few feet of where tho body lay while searching Thurs day night, but the darkness prevented Its discovery. F. S. Carter, son of I. L. Car ter, was all about tho spot that night, but did not happen to see the young woman's body. From the evidence at hand It is ac cepted by the police as a certainty that the young -woman was murdered by her husband, Belly I. Moss. He It was who accompanied her to the end of the street car line and sat with her on the little bench a few minutes before the couple disappeared In the darkness. Since then he cannot be found. Friends of the dead woman stole that he has repeatedly threatened his wlfe'e life. Jealousy is doubtless at the bottom of the affair, as Moss has openly stated that he believed his wife too friendly with others. Her friends denounce him aa a. hardened scoundrel, destitute of honor, industry or .Intelligence. It waa at her father's solic itation that she came to Portland three i-weeks ago from Tacoma. where she end jMoss had lived stece their marriage last (September. Moss followed two dajs ago, ,nd; has been la conversation with hia wife several times since. The day of the ,8nurder ha field to his father-in-law that 'he and his wife- had. come to an under rfrt&ndlngr, and that Moss would return that evening to Tacoma, Even then he HJHv &i sf &iK T s tClk L' 9 'f L J) MRS. IAOHI MOSS, MURDERED THURSDAY NIGHT. had in his possession the pistol with which he had told her he would take her life. Nothing further Is learned of the tragedy since discovery of the murder than Is told by the disheveled appearance of the "body, the bullet wound over the heart and tne position of the body. The unfortunate woman's body was found In the brush where It had been dragged. A wound near the center of the left breast just above the heart, with powder stains In the clothing and flesh, and the exit opposite sear the spine, were the only marks on the body. Death Is said to have resulted Quickly, and would have been Inevitable "Whitney Carts, with wood or reed bodies range from 53.75 to $12.60 each.

It Is now .known that Mobs and his wife boarded the Washington and Twenty third street car at First and Washington streets. Charles Knudsen was conductor and Fred Ziegle was motorman. Before getting on the car Moss purchased a 5-cent sack of peanuts at Captain James confectionery stand near by. Conductor Knudeen eays the couple sat quietly, even sullenly, on the trip out, and he does not remember to have noticed a sin gle word passing between them. Each seemed to be out of humor and disposed to avoid conversation. The cor reached the end of the line about 9:05 P. M. For a few moments they sat without moving, when Moss said gruffly, almost brutally, "Well, get out." His wife responded slowly, and with what the carmen now Interpret, reluctance, and as she stepped off she asked Motorman Ziegle what time the next car would Teturn. Being told that his car would go back at 9:17 and the succeeding car 10 minutes later, the woman got off, and together they went a few paces to a small bench, where she sat down while he stood rather over her. What passed there was Indistinct, and did not excite attention. Conductor Knud sen ate his lunch before starting back, and then stepped out on the rear platform. Both of the people were gone then, and the conductor remarked: "The birds have flown: I guess they do not want to go back with us." Shots Tell of a. Tragrcdy. Another car came to the end of the line, with Conductor Henry Knudeen In charge, and Motorman P. Holm In front. It was scheduled to return at 9:27. A mm ute or two before that time Conductor Knudeen was sitting in the car, with tht rear door closed. Two shots rang out distinctly In the direction of the park, one barely a few moments after the first, and Immediately following there were shrill sounds, which the conductor at first thought was a peal of laughter. He opened the door, and his ears told him that the laughter he thought he heard was a succession of screams of terror and agony. Out of the darkness over behind the parkstand came a piercing, terrible scream of "Help!" and as fast as the voice could utter, the more fearful cries of "Murder, murder, murder, murder, mur. der, murder!" At least six times did this awful word sound In a tone pitched to the highest key and indicative of all the ter ror human mind was capable of expert enclng. It died down In a sort of de spairing wall. Search for the Body. The shots and cries had startled I L. Carter and his son, F. S. Carter, living a few feet from where the car stood. Tho son, being dressed, was the first to dart on the porch from his bedroom, be ing soon followed by the father. Only the cries had been heard by the young man, but the father, like the conductor, had heard all. Within 10 minutes the po- lice had been telephoned, and the search began by the conductor and the Carters. Both of the car men went out across the elevated roadway leading to the park grandstand, but as there was only a min ute or two more time left them, they de sisted and went on with their car. At Twenty-third and Thurman streets Patrol man Clinkenbcard was met and put on the next car going out, so that he reached the scene within a few minutes. When he and the elder Carter crossed over to the park they thought there was a nolae as of somebody moving In the brush be low, when It occurred to Mr. Carter to go SATURDAY ATTRACTIONS Misses' and Children's Jackets AT GKEATLY REDUCED PRICES Children's Cloth Reefers in red, royal, cadet and mode, trimmed with fancy braid, sizes 2, 3, 4. 6 ,.

The policeman and F. S. Carter continued the search through the brush, aided by j dim lights. During the progress of this. young Carter walked along all the narrow, i tortuous patns arouna tne steep Mlisiae and looked nnd felt about as beet he could. Once he was only a few feet from the body, and probably would have dis covered It with a stronger light. The Discovery.

One is supposed to have missed entirely, when the murderer seized the , helpless and terrified woman, pressed the ccsslble by a rude trail leading by the body. Mr. Carter reached this road soon after the shooting, and Moss could not have reached the city In that direction afterwards without being detected. Married Lant September.

He states that his friend ly interest In Mrs. Moss excited the enmity giving "rise to the threats, but that they never gave him concern.

Th's caused tho belief that Moss had committed suicide after realizing that his crime had been discovered so soon, and Chief McLauchlan irstltuted a search throughout that district. Nothing was found to verify tht susp'clon. Description of Mosr. Moss Is described as a man about five feet five Inches high. 23 years old, swarthy complexion, dark eyes, dark hair -worn long and Inclined to be navy, and jester day he had a growth of four or five days" beard on his face, which was noticeably black. At the time of the murder he wore a black cutaway coat, stiff hat of brown color, and flannel shirt which he con cealed by using a handkerchief around the neck. Detectives Cordano and "Welner, vho went to the park early and commenced In vestigation, learned that Moss returned to his lodging-house over the Owl saloon about 11 o'clock the night of the murder. He told the landlord that he would re tire, but after being in bed an hour or so, he got up and said he was bothered about Ms wife, who Mked another man. but if she would behave he would forgive her. She. was then cold In death at "Willamette Park. Moss disappeared then, and It Is reported that he was seen In town again about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. If It was he, he had changed his clothing and wore a gray cap. gray coat and vest, dark trousers, a large turn-down collar and black bow tie, and a stiff hat. It Is sup posed that he secured money by some means and was trying to disguise him self. AM day long there was the usual curIou crowd around Holman's undertaking es tablishment, where the body was placed In the morgue. The woman was widely known In Portland, and after It was learned positively that she had been mur dered, many vehement expressions were heard against the man guilty of so wanton and cowardly a deed. There will be many witnesses at the Inquest this morning, an.l evidence of an Interesting nature may be brought out.

The opinion of "W. S. ITRen, the Clack amai Populist, relative to the attitude of the Ropub.lcans on the proposed initiative and referendum amendment. In the next Legislature, is evidently correct. Most assuredly It Is, If the Republican nomi nees throughout the state think as those of Multnomah County do. In order to determine If Mr. U'Ren's prediction that the Multnomah delegation would", if elected, vote to subm.t the ques tion to the people, is .true, a number of nominees on the Republican ticket vere questioned yesterday. "Without a single exception those seen disclosed their wll ingness to give the people a chance to vote on It if they so des red. The few candidates who could not be found wc e vouched for by those seen, who assert that they know how they stand on the question, and it is safe to say that if the Multnomah Republican delegation Is elected, it will vote solidly In faor of the amendment. Some of the nominees do not hesitate to say that when they cast such a vote it will be regard.ess of personal opinion. It will be cast on the grounds that the people are entitled to vote to have any thing which they may think they want, and that the majority must rule, so they say. None of them would go so far as to state how they would vote should the matter come before the people, nor would they commit the Republican party to the Initiative and referendum doctrine, but the expressions were ful. and free as to how the delegation would vote when the question comes up for the second time in the Legislature. Dqnnlil 3Incka. "I voted to submit the question to th people in the last Legislature, and I shall do so again, should I be elected," said Donald Mackay, chairman of the County and City Central Committee, and nominee for State Senator. "I think the people should have a chance to te on the question If they so desire; and I think the Republican party of this state wlh favor, almost unanimously, granting them such a privilege. "This, of course, does not mean that the party is committed to vote for the amendment when it comes before the people. That Is another proposition, but that the members of the next Legis lature will favor letting the people vote on it is a foregone conclusion. They could not and will not do otherwise." George "W. Bates. "I am heartily in favor of letting the people vote on it 4f they want to. and shall vote with the Multnomah delegation if elected." said George "W. Bate). "The delegation from Multnomah voted solidly for tho amendment In the last Legislature, and you may count on it to do the same thing this time If the Republican nomi nees are elected." J. Thorbara Bosk. "I was a member of the House of Rep resentatives last time, and I voted to sub mit the question to the people," rep led J. Thorburn Ross, when questioned, "Should I be elected to the Senate this time. I shall do the same thing again. There Is no other way to settle a ques tion like this. If the majority want It, they should have It. If they do not. then the whole matter will be settled. "I do not pretend to predict the out come when the question goes before the people, but I am sure the Multnomah dele gation will favor the amendment In the Legislature without a dissenting vote. "I think those who feel an Interest in the matter can well afford to trust those whom they found favoring the measure before They know what the Republican delegation did then, and they need not fear to try It again at the final contest."
