THE MOKXING OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, 3lAlr 5, 1908. ASSASSIN i'S NAME Kill POLICE Blood-Stained Shirt Gives De tectives Clew in Wolff Murder Case. JOHN DOE WARRANT OUT Authorities Feel Certain Mystery Is Solved Expect Arrest of Guilty Man at Any Moment Is Thought to Be in.City. Arrest of the thug who butchered Na than Wolff and plundered Wolff's pawn shop at 1(S First street last Friday night, is expected within a short time by the Portland police. As the result of clews discovered yesterday the police believe they have ascertained who the murderer is. They are sure that one man perpe trated the hideous crime and that the man is in the city, unless he has escaped within the past 36 hours. The name of the suspect is necessarily withheld. But ' so confident were the de tectives of being on the right trail that an officer was sent to the District At torney's office early yesterday after noon for a warrant of arrest. This war rant charges murder in the first degree, but the offense is charged against "John Doe." as it was not intended to take any chance of letting the man's name get out prematurely. The finding of a blood-stained shirt yesterday morning afforded the police their clew. In which they have utmost faith. This grewsome garment, rolled up in a piece of newspaper, was picked up on a heap of debris in the rear of the Washington House on Second street, near Flanders. Obviously It had been thrown there from one of the upper win dows of the rooming-house. The sleeves and bosom of the shirt were thickly smeared with blood. City Physician Zelgler examined the garment and pro nounced the stains of recent origin. It was also seen that the Bhirt was of a size to correspond with the collar, found in Wolff's place after the tragedy, being No. 16. Laundry Marks Differ. The laundry marks differed from those on the collar, but that did not spoil the clew, for a man such as the one under suspicion is given to the use of aliases. Therefore he might have sent his laun dry out under varying aliases at differ ent times. The conflict In laundry marks, on that assumption, was regarded more as a confirmation of the suspicions of the police, when the name of the owner of the shirt was secured from a local laun dry. The laundry marks on the collar found after the murder told nothing. Half a dozen Buch marks were in use in the city. But the shirt at once gave a genuine clew. It was found to belong to a man of desperate habits, and further Inves tigation developed that this same man has been strangely missing from his ac customed haunts during the past few days. That the follow did not leave the city Immediately after the murder was learned definitely during the afternoon. Late yesterday afternoon and again last night the trail grew very warm. A tip as to where the suspect might be in hiding was secured. Detective Tichenor went to the District Attorney's office and secured the warrant of arrest, charging murder. Five minutes after doing this. Tichenor denied It. It was denied at the District Attorney's office, at the police station and by every one connected with the case. However, It is definitely known that the warrant was issued and that the officers expected to serve it last night. Every detective in the department was put out on the case last night by Captain of Detectives Baty. The officers had In structions to work with the utmost se crecy. Early this morning the officers were still at work. The detectives have had very little sleep since last Friday night. Investigate Many Clews. Clews innumerable have been given over to the police to unravel. Half a dozen clews were secured yesterday, some of them absurd, but all demanding Investigation. Early yesterday morning an East Side clothescleaner reported hav ing received a blood-stained coat and vest with instructions from a "susplcious" appearing man to remove the stains at once. Detectives were sent out post haste. They found that the owner of the clothe had engaged in a fist fight with an acquaintance Saturday night and had got much the worse of the affray, as evidenced by his coat and vest. Another report dealt with a man with a bruised face and scarred hand. The result of the investigation on this report proved ludicrous In the extreme. The man with the scars admitted that he got them at Nathan Wolff's shop last Friday night. But it was while trying to force his way near to. the door while Patrolman Burke was engaged in keeping the crowd back. He got Into a. discussion with Burke, who handled him roughly and left the marks as souvenirs of the Inci dent, he" said. This was denied by Burke, but the "suspect" was plainly In no way connected with the Wolff tragedy. When the report of the finding of a gory shirt was telephoned In. an Investigation was made at once, but clews of that kind had about been given up as hopeless. The shirt was found on top of a heap of debris by Patrolman John Coltz. It was In plain view from the street but had not been noticed before. . Get "o Information. The inspection of the premises failed to reveal anything, the proprietors of the place being unable to say just who had occupied the rooms from the windows of which the shirt might have been tossed. Absence of stoves In the rooms made it necessary for the owner of the shirt to toss it from a rear window. Plainly It would be risky to leave the shirt in the room. It was deduced that the murderer ran down deserted First street after the murder, crossed over to the lodging-houso on one of the dark thoroughfares north of the police station, got rid of the bloody shirt and possibly remained in the room over night. The police continue in the belief that there was only one man implicated, and that this man's Identity Is known. COUNTY POSTS $1000 REWARD Offers Large Sum for Capture and Conviction of Murderer. . One thousand dollars reward for the arrest and conviction of the man who murdered Nathan Wolff Friday night was offered yesterday by the County Court. The decision to make the offer was reached Just before noon yesterday, after a conference between the Court, District Attorney Manning and Chief of Police Gritzmacher. held at the Courthouse. 'The murder was an exceptionally brutal one," said Judg Webster, in speaking of the case, "and we considered that the county could well afford to spend the money In bringing the criminal, or criminals, to justice. It la a very rare thing for the county to ' off er a reward for the apprehension of a criminal, this being the second time it has been done since I have been In office. But the cir cumstances surrounding the case led us to believe that the reward would lead to a capture. "As a large quantity of Jewelry was taken, it 1s probable that the murderer will attempt to dispose of it. It 'is also likely that he has 'pals' who will not scruple to Inform the police of his where abouts In consideration of the large re ward. I believe we shall succeed In bring ing the nuurderer to justice." PRUNE CROP IS NIPPED Marion Farmers Find Damage More Serious Than Reported. SALEM. Or.. May 4. (Special.) Reports today from the prunegrowing districts around Salem indicate that the damage by the recent frost was much greater in low lands than was believed last week. In the Roseciale district, where most of the prunes of this vicinity are raised, the damage was practically nothing, and. amounted to merely . thinning of the fruit. The same is true of other hill districts. But it seems that in the low lands and in "pockets" in the hills where cold air settles, the damage was very serious. Some growers estimate that they will have only one-third of last year's yield, lit will be four or five days yet, however, before anything definite can be deter mined. Vancouver Barracks Notes.

The occupation of Jurado was done on the advice of the Mexican government, which held that it was clearly within Colombian territory.

Boston Globe. One of Boston's most important revo lutionary relics Is the old Vose or "Suf folk Resolves" house at the Milton Lower Mills. This historic edifice, which stands on Adams street near the bridge, has of late ears been slightly remodeled. A store has been made of one of the lower rooms and an L has been added, but the general line of the original building can stlH be seen. It was in this mansion, the home of Daniel Vose, often .called, the "birth place of American liberty," that the famous "Suffolk resolves" were adopt ed, September 9, 1774, by the Suffolk convention. The obnoxious regulating or recon structive acts had not been long in operation abtfore tne popular resistance they encountered found expression in these resolves, which were drawn up and reported' to the convention by Gen eral Joseph Warren, who the next June lost his life in their defense at the Battle of Bunker Hill. These resolves, 19 in number, were by far the boldest doctrines ever adopt ed or promulgated in America, and probably did more than any one other thing to bring matters to a crisis. As soon-s General Gage heard of their adopVm. he sent to England for more troops and commenced his campaign of confiscation which ended in the fight at Lexington and Concord. The resolves declared that the sov ereign who breaks his compact with his subjects forfeits their allegiance. They arraigned as unconstitutional the repressive acts of Parliament, and re jected all officers appointed under their authority. They directed collectors of taxes to pay over no money to the royal treas urer. They advised the towns to choose their officers of militia from the friends of the people. They favored a Provincial Congress, and promised respect and submission to the Continental Congress. They de termined to act upon the defensive as long as reason and self-preservation would permit, but no longer. They threatened to seize every crown officer in the province as hostages if the Governor should arrest any one for political reasons. They also arranged a system of couriers to carry messages to town officers and corresponding committees. They earnestly advocated the well-known American principles of social order as the basis of all political action; exhorted ail persons to abstain from- riots and all attacks upon the property of any person whatsoever; and urged their countrymen to "convince their enemies that in a contest so im portant, in a cause so solemn, their conduct should be such as to merit ap probation of the wise, and the admira tion of the brave and rree of every age and country." These resolutions were sent to the Continental Congress at Philadelphia by Paul Revere, where they were ap- Habitual Constipation 1 .
