MURDER SUSPECT'S
ALIBI IS UNCOVERED
Bennett Thompson at Home
Wight of Jennings Crime,
Says Sister-in-Law.
OFFICERS STILL CONFIDENT
Woman Complains of Police Repeat
edly Searching Her Home; Shirt
She Washed Was Xot Blood
stained, She Keclares.
The alibi that Bennett Thompson, ex
convict, suspect under arrest for the
murder of Mrs. Helen Jennings near
Sherwood. Or., and the putative mur
der of Krea Rlstraan, chauffeur, who
has disappeared, has promised probably
will be that he was at the home of hia
Fister-in-law, Mrs. James Thompson, in
the Mount Scott district, Monday night.
May 15, the night of the tragedy. '
'He went to bed early and was here
a.11 that night," declared Mrs. Thomp
son yesterday.
Whether neighbors saw him early
that evening or the next morning is a
point which the authorities of Wash
ington and Multnomah counties will
seek to have Koscoe P. Hurst, attorney
for the ex-convict, prove when the
blame is formally placed on Thompson,
a.s these authorities indicated yesterday
it would be. Attorney Hurst says that
Thompson has a perfect alibi.
Mrs. Thompson says she knows of no
others who would be called in to prove
Thompson's whereabouts on the night
in question.
Deputy Expresses Confidence.
"I am more than confident that we
have the right man." commented Dep
uty Sheriff Bob Phillips, of Portland,
last night. Sheriff Reeves, of Wash
ington County, expressed himself yes
terday as well satisfied with the prog
ress made.
The officers believe they can pro
duce at Thompson's trial authoritative
testimony to prove that he was not at
his sister-in-law's home that night.
The jitney with its two occupants was
fftn by several people on its way to
fciherwood. and if any of these persons
can identify Thompson as the lone pas
senger, the investigators say they will
soon have enough other evidence to
convict the man.
If the test of Bertillon Expert Hunt
er, giving the correct reaction in the
human blood test when used on an un
dershirt found on the clothes line in
the yard of Mrs. Thompson's home, is
corroborated by a similar experiment
to be made with newer chemicals this
week, this may be a most damaging
hit of evidence against Thompson.
"Yes, it was Ben's shirt." admitted
Mrs. Thompson yesterday. She added
quickly, "But there were no blood
stains ' on it when I washed it last
Wednesday. The officers found it hang
ing on the line. If there were any
bloodstains they must have been put
there after the men took it away."
Surer "Way la Cited.
The murder was Monday night. The
shirt was washed Wednesday, said Mrs.
Thompson. "If Ben had done such a
thing, and the shirt had been stained
with blood, do you suppose we would
have kt-t it around, and taken the
trouble to wash it?" she demanded.
"What would you have done; burned
It?" she was asked.
"Why, I guess so," Mrs. Thompson
answered.
Mrs. Thompson is a woman probably
in her early 30s. She has a wealth of
brown hair, regular features. and is
not unattractive. She smiled easily.
Bhe had a ready sympathy for the be
reaved wife of the jitney driver.
"Poor woman. She must be almost
wild." commented Mrs. Thompson.
She knew that Thompson had "Been
well acquainted with Mrs. Jennings.
"He must have known her for two
or three years." she said. "She liked
him, and he could have had anything
he wanted from Mrs. Jennings without
killing her."
Mrs. Thompson appeared quite posi
tive that the man under arrest could
not have done the killing. "He was
home that night." she asserted. "He
went to bed early, and I am sure he
was not out of the house all night.
No, no one saw him that night, I sup
pose, for no one called on us. I don't
know how I can prove he was here
except by my own word."
Prisoner's Calmness Recalled.
"Was there no chance of his going
cut during the night without you
knowing it?" the woman was asked.
"No," she answered, with convition.
"If he is guilty he must have gone
there and back during the daytime."
Mrs. Thompson commented upon the
fact that had already attracted the
notice of the authorities the cool un
concern of Thompson when arrested.
"Do you suppose he could have showed
such unconcern if he had done such a
thing?" she queried.
Mrs. Thompson said that she did not
always know when Ben had been
working, but said that he had been
out of work for some weeks, and that
they had been in distressing circum
stances. She was taken into the home
of a kindly neighbor yesterday for din
ner. "I wish the police would leave me
alone," complained Mrs. Thompson.
"They have searched my house four
times. I have done all that I could to
help them. If Ben did such a terrible
thing he certainly should be punished,
but I know he didn't, and am willing
to do everything possible if it will
help clear him."
Though they question the things she
tolls them, the officers have great

sympathy for Mrs. Thompson. The
little woman has a fund of affection
for the accused man. and the investi
gators appreciate this fact. For that
reason they have not asked that she
be detained in jail as a material wit
ness. She has a young baby, and
there is little likelihood of her dis
appearing. Because the chemicals used in the
test Saturday were old and slow in
giving the reaction for the blood test,
Bertillon Expert Hunter, of the city
police bureau, intends to make a sec
ond test on the stained undershirt as
soon as fresh acids, can be secured.
This probably will be the latter part
of the week. Mr. Hunter does not care
to announce positively that the shirt
has ever been stained with human
blood without the confirmation of
fresh chemicals on which he can rely
absolutely.
Attorney Hurst announced last night
that he would begin habeas corpus pro
ceedings shortly unless a charge is
filed against the man in. jail at Hills

A rumor was current at an early hour
last night that the body of the missing
man had been found, but confirmation
was lacking.
Fifteen auto parties with hand-axes
and grappling hooks and two autos
and an auto truck carrying 20 Odd

FOOD TO BE TOPIC
Mrs. Vaughn Will Give Series
of Lectures Next Week.
AID TO HOUSEWIVES AIM
Effort of "Queen of Cooks" Is to
Blake Every-Day Work in Home
One of Pleasure and of
Profit to All Family.
Better Foods Better Homes" will
be the motto of the series of lectures
to be given in the Eieventh-street Play
house next week by Mrs. Kate B.
Vaughn, "queen of the cooks." who will
come to Portland to give a course of
six lectures.
Mrs. Vaughn was here last year, and
she made so many friends at that time
that she was besieged with requests
for a return engagement, and at last
consented.
The series this .year will be practical.
The lectures are utilitarian yet ideal
istic. This clever lecturer and teacher
knows Just how to combine the prac
tical and the ideal. While she teaches
actual cookery processes from day to
day and suggests easy methods and
short cuts and usable means of econo
mizing, still it is her biggest aim to set
women to thinking about the real value
of their everyday work In the home,
and urge and encourage them to carry
on this work in the best manner pos
sible, to avail themselves of every
means of learning how to give their
families the sort of food that will build
up strong bodies and active minds and
create worth while manhood and wom
anhood. The lectures will be held at 2:30, are
free, and women who heard Mrs. Vaughn
last season and those who did not have
that opportunity will be all cordially
welcome.
Of Mrs. Vaughn's message to house
wives a well-known Callfornian. an au
thority on domestlo science, said re
cently: "To be able to accomplish things Is
every normal woman's ambition, and
to show her that there is much to ac
complish in the everyday life in the
home, in the cheerful doing of duties
that seem in themselves humdrum, mo
notonous and uninteresting, because
they result in big things, is what Mrs.
Vaughn hopes to accomplish by her
'Better Foods Better Homes' work.
That she is doing this is evidenced by
many homes throughout the country
that are better homes because of her
influence, and hundreds of women that
are happier in their home duties be
cause of her encouragement and In
spiration." L. D. ROBERTS LAUDED

At a special meeting of the executive
committee of the Parer.t-Teacher Asso
ciation of the Holman School last Fri
day resolutions relative to the trial of
L. D. Roberts, principal of the school,
were unanimously adopted. The reso
lutions read:
"Whereas, much unpleasant notoriety
has been brought upon and great in
justice shown our principal, L. D. Rob
erts, and our school In the newspaper
accounts of the alleged 'inhumane' pun
ishment administered to an unruly
pupil of the school: and
"Whereas, Professor Roberts, during
his principalship of said school, has
been & most just, kind and humane
man in his relations with the pupils
of the school, and has exhibited great
forbearance and tact in dealing with
them; and
"Whereas, his work has always been
along conservative lines and for the
best good of the school and the corn-
unity in which it is located; there
fore, be it . '
"Resolved, that the executive com
mittee of the Parent-Teacher Associa
tion of Holman School express the
deep regret we feel over the unncessary
publicity given the incident.
Resolved, that this association go on
record &s having full confidence in
Mr. Roberts and In his methods of han
dling our children and the pupils of
the Holman School.
"Resolved, that a copy of these reso
lutions be sent to Professor Roberts,
to L. R. Alderman, superintendent of
schools, to the Board of Education,

pness. and be spread upon the min
utes of this association."
Mrs. Percy Stowell, president; Mrs. E.
