Farther Investigation by Sheriffs
Thompson and Stevens and Detective
Levlngs yesterday oonvlncea them that
the revolver with which Mrs. Daisy
Wehrman and her 1-year-old eon were
slaughtered waa exactly similar In
every respect to that presumed to have
been stolen from the home of John
lUIey and Joe Hasson In their absence
lr Portland, from the nlgu. of Mon
day, September 4. to tua evennlg of
Saturday. September t. After the theft
the revolver was replaced In the trunk.
The revolver from which the bullets
which killed the mother and child
were dlacuarged was a S-callber with
alx rlflea, Riley's pistol Is similar.
Smokeless cartridges with hollows at
the base of the lead were used tn the
murder and they correspond to thoee
found In the Riley and Hasson cabin.
The bullets weigh the same, allowing;
a few grains for waste In passing
through the bodlea of the victims
and the lead ahowa evidence of such
waste. The bullets collected be- the
officers In the Wehrman cabin were
mlnua the alight hump at the place
where the lead Joins the cartridge case
and In th(a respect are similar to those
In use for the Klley gun.
Evidence) Considered Strong.
The particular features of the pistol
combine to make an expensive weapon
of late model and It la presumed that
there were few. If any, in the neigh
borhood which exactly correspond with
It. The Jnvestlgatora consider mis
evidence of vast Importance in building

Sheriffs Thompson ana oicn u
Detective Levlngs were in Bcappoose
again yesterday and In addition to ob
taining the Kller revolver anu ex
amining it they ascertained that A. J.
Pender, the suspect under arrest, had
at various times passea nimsen on
as an unmarried man around Scappoose
and had tried to make datee" with
young women. In his tent were found
suggestive pictures and literature of
an Indecent character.
The Investla-etors determined alter
an examination of the Klley and Has
son house that entrance had not been
gained through aide or front windows
the strips wnicn noia tne sasn in

process of removal and replacement
and they show no Indication of It. En

SI all Clew Tightens.
The mall episode Is winding Its colls
tighter and tighter about the suspect.
Llndloft snd Pender were the only two
who asked for and reoelved mall for
the neighborhood Monday, tne day on
which the paper found unopened In the
Wehrman cabin was taken from the
postofflce. Guy Whitney, the clerk, re
calla positively that Llndloff asked only
for bis own mall and refused to take
that of any of hla neighbors. LlndlofTs
action was prompted by the fact that
mall left In the crossroads box near
Pender's house had frequently been
tampered with. He then made up his
mind not to allow anyone besides him
self to take his mall from tne post-
office, and to take none belonging; to
his neighbors. If asked to take mail
for others he Invariably refused and
did so on this particular day, Whitney
says.
