"On entering th house about 6:30
o'clock I found ni dead body on the
floor In th bedroom. Beneath his
right arm was th gias Jar In which
w kept the MOO 1500 In gold and
1100 In currency In hiding beneath
th kitchen floor. I at one telephoned
tha police and Mr. Carson, our grocer.
Nobody knew anything about our mon
ey or where w kept It except Mr.
Mulle and I. Mr. Mollea was very
careful with his money affairs and
only yesterday remarked to m that
w should be very careful with what
fund we had. a he expected hard
time this Winter, when w would need
all that w had."
Mr. Mollrs died between 1 and 5:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Oscar
Carlson, of Carlson Bros., grocers, at
o'clock delivered some groceries at
th Molles horn and laughed and
Joked with Molles for a few minutes.
Nobody saw Mollea after that hour nor
was anybody seen to enter the resi
dence until Mr. -Molirs arrived at
S:30 o'clock.
Heteetlvea 'pert Wife.
It I the theory of th detective
who Investigated the case that Mollea
died from heart failure and that the
missing 00 wa taken by Mrs. Molles.
They suspect Mrs. Molles because of
the pronounced exhibition of uncon
cern, amounting almost to Indiffer
ence, over the death or her husband,
she showed following the discovery of
her hu5hand's dead body and durintf
the Interview she gave the police.
The detectives ay they also have
other reason for their theory which.
they declare, seems plausible because

the rear of tha building wa found
beneath the arm of Molles' body. In
stead of the money, the jar contained
Molles naturalization paper. Issued
when he located in Minnesota, about 20
year ago.
It la contended by th detective that
Mollas. feeling an attack of heart
failure approaching, went Into the
kitchen and obtained the Jar of money
from It hiding place. The supposi
tion Is that he expired a he reached
the front room In which tba body wa
found. It I her that the theory of
the detectives Involve Mrs. Molles.
They think that when she discovered
the dead body of her husband and saw
th Jar of money beside It, ah decided
to take possession of her own savings,
fearing that In tha llnal settlement of
affairs, the funds might be awarded to
heir of Molles.
Laaa May Have Caused Death.
At the same time the detectlvea are
Inclined to think Mr. Molle may have
removed the money from the Jar prior
to yesterday and that' Molles death
resulted from excitement resulting
from th discovery that the money had
disappeared. However. If Mrs. Molles
took the money she found a better
hiding place than th underground re
pository In which It was kept for sev
eral months. The detective mad a
thorough search throughout the house,
but could not find th slightest trace
of the money or any clew that would
aid them In determining the thief.
Th fact that nothing- els of value
wa taken from tha residence, declare
the detectives, only strengthen their
theory that the missing money could
only have been taken by somebody who
knew Its hiding place and that th Jar
of money wa th ola purpose of th
robbery. A llver watch, belonging to
Molles. and a few other piece of cheap
Jewelry. In a Jewel case In th room
where Molle' body wa found, were not
disturbed.
Mas Hera IS Moatka.
Molles was born In Finland but had
lived most of bis life In this country.
where h acquired a good education.
For a number of year he aerved in
the United States Navy. Following hi
term of enlistment, he settled in Fin-
layson. Minn., where he engaged In
farming. It was there he married his
present wife, who had been wedded be
fore. Fifteen month ago. Molle dis
posed of hi Interest In Minnesota and
came to Portland.
During his residence in this city.
Molles did not work at any trade. He
read a great real and took a great in
terest in Socialism, attending meetings
held by this organization nearly every
night In the week. Mones also wrote
a great many articles on Socialism.
Several unfinished compositions on this
subject, both In English and his natlva
language, were found In his room.
