One clew which points strongly to the Identification of Bartholomew, outside of the positive recognition of pictures and descriptions by those who had met the man. la lha bat found In the trunk with the body ot tbe murdered man. Thla hat bore the Initial "G. B." on the sweatband. Deductions drawn by tba detectives yesterday from the evidence unearthed ha day prevloua led to aome minor change In the murder theory. Instead of believing that tha dead man was killed Thursday morning aa he lay in, bed. the supposition now Is that th murder waa committed early Thursday evening, shortly after tha elder man bad retired. It waa Thursday night that the mur derer showed sign of trepidation at lha passage of people In the hall, and nervously opened and closed tha door of hi room many times, lie is said by Mr. Anna De Corsey. the landlady. have followed every late coming looser ot i in nia cj wmi. a-one from sight, and to have moved! bout in his room until a late nour. nraaaa Nat Deteraalaed.

The reaction showed that there baa necn oiooa on m atchet. but waa so weak that tne bloo.1 might have been that of aome chicken In day past. The naicnet. could have been washed after the mur- er. and poaalbly the blood test couia not be expected to show more. Bertll- on Fvoert Hunter was not aatisnea with the result, however, and said that ven had the tool been washed tuo re action should have been stronger. With the reconstructed theory, tne body waa not In the room an oay Thursday, but was crammed Into the runk Thursday night, but a snort while after tha murder.

As to the motive tor tne crime, tne police theory la that Bartholomew, whosa reputation may b- questioned. met Llnnd In California and. tir.aing that Llnnd carried considerable money on his person, pretended a friendship, th ultimate aim of which wa to rob hi companion.

Red Letter Day Next Wednesday Today Is 'Magazine Dan' at Stamp Booth PHOTOGRAPH LEFT IN ROOM Xrrvonsneas at Lodging-House, Pur chase of Sheets and Disposition of Trunk Containing Body Are Thought Amateurish Acts. . Tha police net Is fast tightening about George Bartholomew. also known aa Kd. Hopkins, who Is sought as the murderer of John Llnnd. Bartholomew In not an experienced criminal. If the b-oad trail of circum stantial evidence left In his wake In the present case may be taken as con clusive. In "covering his associations with the murdered man. Bartholomew m-aa author of a bungling Job. This is the opinion of pollco officials who have Investigated the else. It would he difficult to point out where he made his first mistake. One was his nubile display of nervousness on the night of the murder last 'lnurs- day. Thst night, so the landlady. Mrs. Anna Dc Corivy. of 40T Ptark street, and other occupants of the roomlne hnuse any. the door of the front bed room, occupied by Bartholomew and Linnd wrs opened every time a lodger passed lo the hall-way. The head or Bartholomew appeared each time and he gaxed after the passer-by with sus picion. New fiheela Poor Haw. The tus of purchasing new sheets and pillow rases thnt the blood-stained ones could he made away with and the change not noticed, was a clumsy one; so long as the bed ill concealed the blood spots on the floor and the red- dyed mattress fairly shrieked of tne deed. Nervousness again betrayed Barthol omew when he appeared at the Model stables. He was particular as to tne kind of wagon he desired, and when he finally selected the light-covered three-spring, rubber-tired wagon he was much pleaded with the conveyance and emphatic In his demand that It be reserved ftr him until aiternoon. Another tactical error was made at the stahles. The name he signed was Ed Hopkins." This adoption or the present name of his mother. Mrs. Klta Hopkins, of Minneapolis, was a means yesterdny of making his Identity as Bartholomew more certain. Although he took care that his name was not known at the rooming-house, he took no precaution against Its be- nir known In Salem and Albany, where he appeared In company with the man cow dead. Ick of Fonda Significant. One more error that made his rela- ions with Llnnd noticeable was Bar tholomew's evident lack of funds. In- tead of borrowing a sum irom i.iniw and making Incidental expenditures out of this amount, Bartholomew paid all bills, but publicly borrowed the money with which he did so irora Llnnd. This made his connection wltn Linna trifle Questionable, and brought it to public notice In aeveral cases, among which were payments In Albany, the purchase of train tickets, the payment of rental and the feeding of a quarter gas meter. Another bungle was the attempt to destroy the picture of himself which was later found among the rubbish in hla room. The photograph was laicen of both Bartholomew and Linnd. That of Llnnd was found In the trunk; the other half, of Bartholomew, and aome fragmenta were found In the room after the murderer had fled. It was iden tified Immediately by the landlady as the man who left the rooming-house with tha trunk.

Cheerfulness, exercise, fresh air, baths and good habits make your di gestion better able to take care of any burdens you Impose upon It. But the greatest aid to good digestion is good blood. Anemia, or thin blood, is a common cause of Indigestion. Normal action of the stomach is impossible without healthy, well-oxidixed blood. Dyspepsia which does not yield to ordinary treatment may be quickly cor rected when the blood is enriched. Many people have secured relief from chronic forms of indigestion by the use of Dr. Williams' rink Tilis which make the blood rich and red. capable of carrying an increased amount of oxy gen, the great supporter of human life.

The discovery of the blood-stained mattress the following day might have led to murder theories and consequent investigation, but the investigation would not have been near so active and keen as it was when stimulated by the dramatic discovery of the trunk and its contents. The man mistakenly thought that either the trunk would sink or that it would float down the Willamette to the sea. It did .not sink, and a back eddy from the current made it impos sible to float from the immediate vi cinity of where it was thrown. A few heavy cobblestones, or any such convenient weights, would have sent the trunk to the bed of the river, where It might have remained undis covered for an indefinite period.
