Rasmus sen, watchman oh the Steam schooner Washington, will apparently be addid to the: Usf of unsolved crimes, there is one feature of this, case which will tend to make it remembered, That feature Is. the ? wonderful coolness, of the man who. It Is now believed, shot tha watch man-and then cooly guarded the door of the room where the body lay while conversing wrfh the first . person to board the vessel. . ' ' " ''"Without a tremor to show any reallza- iiuii'..vii ine aanger ne . had - passed through, Lewis Carner. nroDrietor of a boathouse and the owner of the launch Palmer No. 2, told the coroner's- Jury yesterday afternoon of his walk about the Washington with . the man -who came to him with the guilt of a foul muraer on his soul yet never flinched when Carner was within a tew feet of Rasmussen's body. . . The inquest in the Dunning chapej brought to light little not already known that would tend to fasten the crime upon the man seen on the schooner Wednes day afternoon as-she lay at the St jonns dry. dock, earner's story, how ever, gave some Idea of the type of man wno murdered the watenman. : Several Be Stranger. It 1 now generally accented bv all the officers that the man seen by Joseph Spragg, and other members of crew vi ine ljeyiana eroiners, berthed bv the side of the Washington. and also by Carner, Is the. person who committed the crime. With the descrip tion furnished by Carner the sheriff's office and the Dollce are trvina to an- rprenena ine murderer oeiore he is en tlreiy beyond reach. . Carner took supplies to the Washing tonWednesday afternoon. When his shouts to tlie watchman brotight no one in ine jneoK, earner - cumned , on ooard. A moment later a man emerged from the engine room. He shut the door behind him as he sterioed .towards earner.' : .. - Where s Shortv?" ssked Carner. ns ing the familiar name for Rasmussen. ', 'Ira looking for him myself," replied ine arranger. "1 neard the Washington was going out pretty soon and I wanted to see mm- aoout getting a job on her. "He s only the watchman;- I don't think he could hem vnu anv " said Carner, as he made a movement as inougn to look about the vessel. "I've been looking for him. He's not in the engine room,' I've just been in there, said the etranaer. Carner describes the man as wearing brown suit .with hat allarhtlv lla-hter man tne suit He was smooth shaven, and about five feet, , nine inches- iu height His age was about 26 years. . Then began a march about the steam schooner which would seem better placed on a buccaneer of the Spanish main man a coaster lying la roruanu, Or. i , r Jpeati Just Behind Him. earner went rirst Never for a mo ment did- the stranger step from his position In the rear, the launchman re membered afterward. Practically every fort Ion of the vessel, with the excep lon of the. engine room "which the stranger declared so pointedly he had Just visited, was searched. It is evident that the stranger was watching for the moment to come when Carner would suspect him, and insist on looking Into the engine room, where Rgsmussen's body would have been found, partially concealed. At that in stant he would kill Carner, and thus make his escape unmolested. - It seems certain that the stranger's hand was never far from his hidden revolver dur ing the several minutes Carner was on board. . t, A second murder was not necessary, however, for Carner at last left the Washington without opening tha door of ine engine room. - The descriptions of the stranger given by the men on the Ley land Brothers dif fer slightly from that of Carner. but are substantially the same. C. L John son,' foreman of the dry dock, also saw the brown clad man on the Washington at the same time. GET THE HABIT Boiler Skating Will Be a Popular Pas time In Portland This Winter.
