ROBBERY DECLARED
MOTIVE OF GRIME
Empty' Money Belt of
Trunk Victim Found.
MISLEADING CLEWS OFFERED
Police Do Not Think Dead
Man Harry Rogers.
YOUNG LOGGER IS SOUGHT
Slayer Not Thought to Be George
Bartholomew, but Apprehension.
Is Deemed More Important
Than Identifying Either.
Discovery of strong circumstantial,
proof that the motive for the erimre
was robbery, minimizing of the possi
bility that the murdered man was Har
ry Rogers, and discrrf' 'ting of many
rumored appearances . - murderer
in the city since Friday niu. were lo
cal developments yesterday in the-Stark-street
trunk-murder mystery.
A money belt, dyed with spotches
of blood, and with ends raveled, show
ing that it probably had been torn
from the body of the murdered man.
was found yesterday among tiie ef
fects of the dead man at tht morgue,
where it had been overlooked in pre
vious investigations. It was dump and
of cloth and had boon mistaken for a
strip of underclothing in the first ex
amination ot the articles discovered in
the trunk.
Money nelt F.mply.
Though the belicT entertained from
the outset by the authorities has been
that the victim was killed in cold blood
with robbery as the motive, this theory
is strongly substantiated by the find
ing of the red-stained belt, the flaps ot
which flopped over empty pockets.
Any. doubt that the belt was worn
by tlie man whose body was found in
tlie trunk is dispelled by its torn ap
pearance and tlie stains-it bears.
Still the question of who the. dead
man was baffles the police. Sufficient
for this purpose that he was John
Linnd. not the John I.innd of Boston,
but the John Linnd who inquired after
property values in both Salem and Al
bany. His name does not bother the
police, for they are particularly inter
ested now in the pursuit of the mur
derer, and the identity of the dead man
can wait.
Tumult of Murderer l nueceful.
In the pursuit of George Bartholo
mew, alias Ed Hopkins, little headway
was made locally yesterday.- As yet
the means of egress taken from the
city by the murderer has not been dis
covered, and the. police no longer be
lieve that be is in hiding within the
limits of Portland.
Though no satisfactory clew to Bar
tholomew's whereabouts was found,
this does not mean there were no
clews. There were many if thcin for
example, it was reported to Dctcctiva
Captain Baty that one man was cer
tain he had seen the green trunk
bobbing Jauntily down the Willametto
and passing under the Burnsido bridgn
on Friday afternoon.
"Clews" Are Misleading.
As it is positively known that the
trunk was thrown into the river be
tween the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock
Friday afternoon, later than it wa.-f
supposedly seen floating, thus does
away with that "clew." Further, the
tracks of the wagon in which the trunk
was taken from Stark street were
found cm the Flanders-street wharf,
and a floating object thrown in at.
that spot could not have, floated out
upon the bosom of the river, accord
ing to the harbor patrol, because of
the back eddies, to say . nothing ot
floating upstream.
Another clew which Captain Baty
sarcastically remarked "does away
with all doubt as to when and how
the murderer left the city" was brought
to police headquarters yesterday moni
ing by a volunteer detective. He told
his story to Detectives John Moloney
and Tichenor and later repeated it for
the benefit of Captain Baty.
Volunteer Detective Heard.
lie was standing in front of the Al
der Hotel Monday afternoon, it ap
peared, when he saw a strange sight.
It was a man on horseback. . There
was no saddle on the horse, and across
the rider's knee were flung two
knotted gunny-sacks. The rider was a
big man with a brown mustache. The
observer noticed that he had his right
shoe on his left foot, and vice versa.
"Well?" queried Captain Baty when
the narrator reached this point in the
story and stopped.
That was him." This was stated
with conviction.
"But the murderer had no mustache,"
objected the detective captain.
"Oh. that was just a part of his dis
guise," replied the narrator, airily.
Other 'clews," almost as wild, were
met by tlie police and dissipated. Not
a shred of real conclusive evidence that
Bartholomew did not take an automo
bile or train out of Portland Friday
night was found.
