Kelley and "Hiney" Rossman. were arrested yesetcrday, charged with murder In the first de cree. Kelley was taken Into cus tody here, and Rossman In Tacoma. Thomas FlemmlnBS was amonc oth ers present In the bar-room when the hold-up men entered, and he at tempted to leave the place while one of the men had him "covered" with a revolver. A shot was fired, striking him In the arm. but he returned to the front door with a club as the rob bers were about to leave, and struck at them. Ho was then shot through the abdomen, and died the following day at a hospital. The robbers got about $125 from the till. Charged with murder in the first dosreo for the shooting: of Thqmas Flemmings in the Centennial Hotel barroom, Decem ber 15. last. "Tattoo" D. C. Kelley and "Hiney" Rodman are under arrest, thu former in this city and the latter in Ta coma. This Is the result of unceasing efforts on the part of Staff Detectives Kerrigan and Snow. While hc police are reticent as to the evidence in their pos session. Chief Gritzmacher declared him self greatly pleased with the case as it stands, and he thinks the right men are In custody.' Tally With Descriptions. Kelley and Rossman tally well with the descriptions of the men who held up the Centennial barroom and murdered Flem mings. This is one strong point against them, the police hold. It Is claimed that there is ample evidence that both were together on the" night of the murder, and that they were seen by several persons In the vicinity of the hold-up. Another point is that Kelley purchased a revolver, of -the pattern described by the victims of the robbery, the morning of the day the murder took place. He bought It of a pawnbroker in the North End district. It Is said. Kelley and Rossman have unsavory rec - ords, and Rossman is believed to have been implicated a year ago In a series of robberies In Tacoma. He was badly wanted there In connection with those erljncs, but escaped. Another man. be lieved to be his companion. Is serving a term at Walla Walla for depredations. Known to the Police. In Portland. Kelley and Rossman have been known to the police for a long time ns "rounders." They always frequented ehean saloons, were usually to be found in the North End districts and have been j under suspicion more than once. Botn have worked as swampers in saloons here, and Kelley has been .employed in the Queen Anne, a second-rate resort in the restricted district. He is a tattoo ar tist, and from this received his sobriquet. That Kelley purposed 'caving Portland yesterday Is shown by a note taken from him at police headquarters when he was arrested. It was addressed to the pro prietor of the Queen Anne, and advised him that the writer was going to leave. It requested that silence be maintained regarding his departure, and frankly ad mitted that he helped himself to $3 out of the till, as he needed the funds for traveling. Man at the Front Door. Kelley is believed to be -the man who stood at the front door of the Centennial barroom, guarding the victims, who were forced to stand with their hands uplifted, wjth the exception of Flemmings. The descriptions furnished by victims were of a man with vers dark hair, dark clothes and a slight stoop. Kelley answers to this. He is aged 32 years. Rossman Is sometimes known as "Kid." He is only 19 years old. Both he and "HIXEY" ROSSMAN 3S HELD Man Accused of Portland Robbery Arrested in Tacoma. TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 5. (Special.)
