"I will not say whether or pot I ssked the Spokane police to learn whether or not a certain man waa In that town on the night of the murder or ascertain whether be could have been Implicated. "I have heard that the police have good clues and are working on them. but they have not informed me lust ex actly what they are, I am so anxious to avoid Interviews in this connection that you must excuse me, and I am not in a position at this time to say whether or not 1 mans ths polios acquainted with any suspicions." . Polios Have Three Theories. Spokane detectives who have been assigned to the case have openly ad vanced three theories In connection with ha murder. Hutchinson must have been the victim of footpads, they say ths victim of mistaken Identity on the pert of a pursuing assassin, or the vic tim of determined avenges .of an Imag inary wrong. In view of the locality, the time and the broad glare of the electric light when the murder wae committed, they are Inclined to dismiss ths theory of footpada. Also In view of the light and of the fact that witnesses havs testi fied that Hutchinson waa followed for quite a distance by his slayer before the fatal shot was fired, they are also Inclined to abandon the theory of mis taken Identity. Having abandoned those two theories which st first seemed plausible, they were forced. It le said, to attach Im portance to the remaining one. And In attempting to solve the mystery slong those lines they Immediately began a search for a motive. Bo far as waa known by hie Intimate acquaintances. Hutchinson had no per sonal enemies. He waa popular with all clasea with Whom ha earns In contact, and efforts to discover a motive for so foul and deliberate a crime were una vailing until the alleged Inquiry of the widow. Grasping at that the detectives are aald to have learned that previous to' her marriage to Hutchinson, the young womsn was ths recipient of constant attention on the part of another. The unrequited suitor Is said to have vowed that she should marry no other, and. In view of this threat, officers are at taching a great deal of importance to his act lone. Funeral services over the remains of ths late T. M C. A. worker will be held at the First Congregational church, this city, tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock. Dr. E. L. Houae, pastor of the church, will officiate. He wUl be assisted by Rev. W. J. Htndley of Spokane, who represents the T. M. C. A. and the churches of that city. Interment will take place In Rlvervlew oemetery. Sec retaries of ths local Y. M. C. A. will act aa pallbearers. In Spokane this afternoon funeral services are also bains; held. Immedi ately at their conclusion ths remains will be shipped to Portland and will ar rive hare tomorrow morning. They will be accompanied by E. B. MeNaughton of this city, who left for Spokane last night Mrs. Hutchinson, widow of the young man who met his death at the hands of an unknown assassin, arrived in Port land lact night.

Disregarding their usual caution, the footpads operating in this city have laid aside their masks and in the very glare of the arc lights are operating success fully. An evidence of the boldness of thta class of the criminal gentry was furnished by the holdup of D. OUmofe. of lit Davla street, and Nick Waleer, of 70 North Ninth street, by an armed, unmasked highwayman at Sixth and Davis streets at about It o'clock last night. Ollmore was relieved of a gold watch valued at fit, and Walser's contribu tion to the exchequer of the road agent consisted of a silver dollar. The thief made no attempt to conoeal hla identity and Stood in full view of the electric light at the intersection of the two streets named. After securing his plunder the foot pad warned his victims not to raise an outcry, and atlll covering them with a revolver of heavy caliber, backed away until he reached Couch atreet. He then ran into a vacant lot on Seventh near Burnelde street. Captain of Po lice Bailey, who happened to be passing in the vicinity, saw the flelng man, and suspecting that a robbery had occurred set out In pursuit. The police ofleer raced to the other side of the lot with the Intention of heading off the thug. Finding there was no trace of the fellow he requested two clttaens to watch the Park atreet side of the lot while he telephoned to headquarters for assistance. Captain Bruin, Patrol Driver Iaaaoa and Patrol man Endlcott responded to the call, but a search of the ground failed to re veal the hiding place of the highway men. Aa the poljof were returning to the station the two citizens, whom Bailey had asked to watch one elde of the lot. gave the Information that the hunted criminal had ran out of the lnclosure. run In hand, and disappeared in the darkness near Burnelde street. They assigned aa the reason for raising no alarm, the fact that ths man was armed with a dangerous looking revolver, and they did not want to take a chance of being shot. Detective Hellyer. to whom tne ma jority of the recent hold-up eases have been assigned and who has failed to make a single arrest, has been detailed to search for the footpad.
