- Frank Covington nd Charle Burll
aon, wanted in Seattle In connection
with-to Ininli mytery." formerly
,' lived in Portland. Th fact that they
were seen In this city last wek haa led
' the, Seattl detective who are search
ing tor the two to believe that the men
are atlll In Portland.
Covington and Burllaon came to Port
. land two year ago thU fall, and during
, the winter of 1806-8 worked a steam
! fitter on the new Lumber Exchange.
H. J. Bailer, meter lnepector of the
City Water department, had the con
1 tract for the plumbing work on the
l.umher Kxchanra. and the two men
wanted for the murder of Covington'
wife worked for him during the winter
At that time the two were little more
. than boys. Burllaon, who waa wen ed-
ticated, waa a native of England and
f about 18 years old. He waa rather large
! In stature and made rather a good ap
' peranc. Covington, however, waa email
but powerful in build and waa not well
' educated. He waa 20 yeara of age at
' that time. The two came to Portland
' from the south, Burllaon having made
the acquaintance of Covington during
mi atay in wauiornia.
Two yeara ago thia fall the .two men
roomed In a house near First and Madi
son treat a. Later In the winter they
moved to quarters in North Ninth street.
Covington and Burlison left Portland
together with a man named Mitchell, a
painter, to go to Fairbanks. Alaska.
Burlison had been In the far north be
fore,, as he bad previously been inter
ested in the ruah for gold.
Mr. Bailey remambera the two aa be
ing particularly hard working men.
They were regular In their habits; aa
far a he knew, . and he does not recall
that either of them mlsaed a day during
the time that the pair was employed on
. the Fxchang building. If either waa a
drinking man Mr. Bailey did not know
at it.
The fact that the men formerly
worked her and that they had many
friends In Portland haa convinced the
authorities more than ever that both
; Covington and Burlison came here laat
week and are atlll in hiding. Burlison
. was a good talker and made friend
. easily. Be undoubtedly - knew many
persons her and the detectlvea are
working on the theory that both of the
men now being sought have com to
thia city to remain unm in general
search for them la abandoned. -
