Marslifield Architect Finally Slides
Into Water and Dies, but Lad
Is Rescued at Daylight.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. Nov. 51. (Spe
cial.) On a hunting expedition this
morning W. S. Turpen, a prominent
Marshfield architect, and his nephew.
Horace Byler, of Notth Bend, were
thrown Into the surging water of Coos
Bay at 5:30 by a heavy squall of wind.
They clung tenaciously to the up
turned skiff for an hour and a half,
when Turpen. having been uncon
scious half an hour, exhausted Bylcr's
strength, who was obliged to let go of
the unconscious man and look out for
himself.
During the time they were drifting
tho tide turned. The skiff was drawn
through the site of the Willamette
Pacific bridge and b.ck again, when at
daylight a bridge tender went out in a
small boat and rescued Byler. the sur
vivor. Turpen was born on Coos Bay and
was familiar with every portion of the
water. He leaves a wife and a son I
year old. Byler, who is 1". was se
verely chilled, but after a warm bath
at home, felt no effects from his experi
ence and went out to aid in the search
for Turpen's body. Four boats were
employed in dragging the bay. The
Elks. Masons and Moose, to which Tur
pen belonged, offered $50 reward for
recovery of the body, which later was
found near the place where it sank.

IDENTITY OF
TRUNK
VICTIM is in
T
John Linnd Is Alive in
Everett Mass.
COAT WITH NAME IN IT STOLEN
Police Center Efforts on Hunt
for George Bartholomew.
INNOCENT HELPER SILENT
Detectives Investigating Every Out

Bartholomew, Companion of
Linnd, Tragedy Victim.
COAT STOLEV FROM JOHN
LIXND AT EVERETT, MASS.
BOSTON. Mass.. Nov. 21. (Spe
cial.) Identification of the coat
worn by the man whose body
was found in the Willamette
River was made today. The coat
was stolen by a tramp about six
montha ago from John Linnd,
foreman in an Everett, Mass.. box
factory.
Linnd saw the fellow walk past
his window carrying the coat
over his arm. but did not realize
until later that it was his coat
which had been taken.
The coat was bough"t from
the Charles Wagner Clothing
Company. 173 Summer street,
and Linnd's name was sewed in
side the coat. Linnd could give
no description of the fellow.
Linnd resides at 48 Glcndale
street, Everett, with his wife and
daughter and has no relatives to
whom he might have given a
coat.
Serious doubt was cast on the iden
tityof the murdered man in the trunk
mystery, who was thought to be John
Linnd, by a dispatch from Boston last
night, and the darkness in which the
police are moving was made more im
penetrable. 'John Linnd" having been accepted
as the true name of the dead man.
whose business and social connections
were small details to be cleared up,
the work of the police yesterday was
chiefly centered on the murder sus
pect, known both as George Bartholo
mew and Edward Hopkins. Great
progress was mide in this direction.
Doubt Cast oa Character.
At the time the identification of
Bartholomew was being made more
certain, authorities in Boston were at
work to explode the assumption that
the dead man was the rightful posses
sor of the name under which he
traveled, and which was sewn in the
lining of his coat. Further, this ex
plosion was destined to cast debris of
doubt on the character of Linnd. lead
ing to a possible conclusion that he
was a crook, working under an as
sumed name.
If tho Boston information may be
accepted as correct, the dead man may
have been the tramp who stole a coat
six months ago from John Linnd. for
merely a foreman of an Kverett, Mass.,
box factory. The coat bore the name
of the owner sewed in the lining, said
the real John Linnd. who is alive ant!
