THE OREGON-DAIIyV JOURK AW PORTIAND,WEDNESDAY-EVENING, SEPTEMBER -18.-1812.- MAN MAY BE CAUSE OF Efi ID III All 10 Police-Redoubling- Ef f orts1o Find Slayer of H. G. Barr; New Clues Said to Have Been Discovered by Sleuths. Working on the theory that a woman's jealousy or the Jealous malice of a man was the motive for the murder of Harry G. Barr, automobile owner and chauf feur. whose body was found yesterday morning near Dead Man's curve on the IJnnton road, officers of the detective dDartraent are going Into affairs of Barr's personal acquaintanceehlp with women In an effort to find a tangible clue to the identity of tha young man's assailant or assailants. ' One woman in particular, said to be a nurse and an ardent admirer of Barr, is believed to have Intimated to Barr " that she would cause him trouble, be cause he slighted her or because she was jealous of his attentions to some other woman. Chauffeurs at the Mult noraah rtstel recalled yesterday morning that Barr was heard to say shortly be- ' fore leaving the hotel to take a party to 'The Hut," on the Llnnton road: "If that nurse calls up again tell her that I have gone home for the night." Cautioned to Xeep Silent. . Chauffeurs employed by Barr and many, of his friends who knew of his love affairs have been instructed by 'the officers to say nothing further about' the case, and they refuse to give Information which they admit might be Interesting. C. A. Bartcher, the traveling man, wTho, with C. W; Baldwin, a friend, and , a woman, were taken to "The Hut" - Monday night by Barr. and who was " held yesterday at the city Jail as a wit . ness, has been liberated, but was cross examined again this morning by detec Uvea, The woman, who was also qulzied by the detectives, was not held Captain Baty refuses to give her name. Officers working on the case 1 are of the opinion that the trio taken to "The Hut" by Barr in the car in which ha waa murdered within a few hours later, are In no wise connected with tho crime. The officers have learned that Barr had -a -number of women friends, and that because he apparently made favor ites of some of them, the others har bored jealousy. Another Theory Entertained. One theory advanced, also, is that Barr had been paying attention to an other man's wife, and that beetiuse of threats made by the husband in the case -within-the past few days, Barr had reason to believe thst there might be trouble for him Monday night. This might account for a statement made by L. L. Will, Barr's employe, that Barr was apparently loath to make the trip to "The Hut" on Monday night. . Another point which has not yet been cleared up Is whether Barr came back Into town after leaving "The Hut," and where, if It was not in the city, he -picked up the persons believed to have been riding with him when he waa shot, li. L. Will said yesterday that Barr. 'though a careful driver on the city streets, made It a practice to speed up on country roads, and he believes that Barr, had he been alone in his machine, would have been going eo fast that had he been shot from the roadside his car -would have been wrecked the second the bullet struck him. Xaa and Woman Inspected. From what they have learned and in timate the officers have deduced that Barr very probably had made a prevt ous engagement with his murderers, that he left "The Hut" about 9 o'clock Mon day night to keep this engagement, and that he had not proceeded very far with them when he was shot down. It is thought there were a man and a woman riding with Barr when the shooting occurred, and that when Barr refused to accede to the demands of his companions, whatever they might have been, he was killed. The man was probably assisted by the woman in Mystery of Motive Is Still Unsolved ; Nurse Girl Suspected by Detectives H. G. Barr, who was shot to death near "Dead Man's Curve" on Linnton road Monday night No trace of" murderer has yet been found. Police believe jealousy, or revenge, prompted shooting of chauffeur. fe 00mm REFUSES dragging the body from the automobile across the road, and rolling it down the embankment. This Is merely conjecture, however, the officers admitting that they know nothing definite of Barr's actions after leaving the Hut. The theory that Barr was shot while In the city, and that his body was taken to Dead Man's Curve and thrown out f the machine. Is not substantiated by the appearance of the automobiles The blood stains are all on the front seats and on the floor of the car In front. It would have been difficult for a per son to drive the car and keep a limp body propped up in the front seat, or even for a person in the rear seat to keep a dead body from falling out. There are no blood stains In the rear seat. Had Many Girl Friends. Though police records in the case are lacking, Chief Slover and Detective Hammersly have a recollection that about tr.ree months ago a complaint was made to police officers that two men were living with two young girls in a house on the east side. Hammersly says .that-when he and Detective Smith wei:t to the house to investigate they found both Harry and George Barr there. The boys denied having girls there, Hammersly says, but stalled around so that the officers were led to believe that t'.e girls had been there but had made a getaway through a back door when the policemen arrived. That a lingering dexlre for revenge on the part of the fathers of these girls was the motive for Barr's murder is among the conjectures offered. Incident to the stories of Barr's in timacy with girls and women is the fact that he qualified on Saturday last on the bonds of his employe, I L. Will, who was arrested on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor girl. Presiding Judge Morrow You must see our- Glove at $1.50 r.

Umbrelas P asked yesterday that another bondsman be provided to replace Barr. Mrs, J. N. Julian, a woman indicted with Will, is In the county Jail in de fault of bonds of 1760. Mrs. Julian says she had only seen Barr once, and that on the occasion of a business visit he made to her husband. At a post mortem examination at the morgue yesterday afternoon the bullet, 38 calibre, was removed from near the top of Barr's skull, on the right hand side, its course having been upward from the point of entry Just back of and below the left ear. An Inquest will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Funeral services for Barr will be held at 2 o'clock to morrow afternoon from his home, 352 East Fifteenth street north.
