-YEARLY
IN OR NEAR PORTLAND
Killing of , Mrs, Jennings Adds
to Long List of Unexplain
ably Brutal Slayings,
NINE KILLINGS UNSOLVED
Serea Are BtlU Surrounded in Deepest
Mystery, row Undoubted Work of
; Degenerates.
One atrocious murder, the act of a
fiend of undescribable state of mind,
has been committed with regularity in
Portland or the vicinity on an average
Of once a year for the last 'ive years.
The killing of Mrs. Helen Jennings
on her farm near Sherwood last Mon
day night can not be palled the culmi
nation, for the nature of the act could
be no more terrible than the butchery
of the Hill family, of Barbara Hols
man, of John Llnnd or of Mrs. J. R
Hinkle last Februaryat Salem.
But in Portland or its environs alone
since 1910, there have been nine un
solved homicides, seven with the deep
est mystery attached, four" the un
doubted work of degenerates.
The firet of these waa the killing
of Barbara Holxman, the . 5-year-old
daughter of a working woman, who
waa foiyid dead March 15. 1811, In a
rooming house at Mississippi avenue
and Russell street. Tha child was at
tacked and afterwards smothered to
death. Several euspects were arrested,
but none was ever convicted.
Ardenwald Murder Xecalled.
The city had not recovered from the
shock of this crime when the appalling
Hill family tragedy occurred. Wlllm
Hill and Ruth, his wife, and their two
children were slain as they slept In
their beds near Ardenwald station.
east of Sellwood on June 9, 1911. One
man was arrested, but not convicted
and to the guilty person, the police
have not the slightest clue. "
On September 1.7, 1912, Harry Barr,
driving his automobile from a Linnton
road house was shot through the head
by an unknown assailant. No sus
pects were ever arrested in yils case.
The automobile was found next morn
ing at First and Taylor streeta.
William Llnnd. a native of bweden,
waa murdered the night of November
17. 1915, In a lodging house at 407
Stark atreet. The body waa placed
in a green trunk and thrown in the
river at the foot of Flanders atreet.
By chance the green trunk was found
almost immediately and good descrip
tions were secured of the Supposed
murderer, a man who has been called
George Bartholomew. Bartholomew
waa never found by the police.
The others ware crimes committed
in the heat of passion or because of
harbored grudges. The slayers were
not captured, however. Of these may
be mentioned the following:
Aaallant Haver Caught.
G. F. Marty, while Intoxicated, In
sulted a woman at Firet and Columbia
street. Her escort struck Marty, caus
ing concussion of the brain, from
which he died. His assailant was
never captured. This was January 10,
1913.
When a highwaymen held up the
W. W. Chappell saloon at 575 Sherlock
avenue, November 8, 1910, Chappell
and William Harvey resisted. Both
were shot dead and the highwayman
disappeared.
On July 9, 1911, a party of Ruaslans
gave a picnic in Macleay Park. An
altercation started a general fight,
in the melee shots were fired, and
Peter Alecsoff received fatal injuries.
The police paid comparatively little
attention to thla tragedy, it is re
called. "A falling out among thieves" was
the cause of another mysterious homi
cide. Joe Barrone, alias "Yellow Bill,"
a notorious ex-convict, was shot by one
of his brother highwaymen who held
up the Oregon-Washington Railroad &
Navigation company limited in Sulli
van's gulch, August 19, 1913. Noae of
the robbers was arrested.
Bevolver of Wrong Calibre.
To this list may be added the mys
terious shooting of Riosaku Kohinata,
a Japanese, during an entertainment in
Arion hall, December 6, 1915. Ainoauke
Nakano was Arrested immediately aft
erwards and the police asserted that
the case against him was a "dead open
and shut one." Everything went swim
mingly until the trial came up. The
mortification of the prosecutors was
intense when it was shown that the
bullets that had killed Kohinata were
of .38 calibre, while the gun taken from
the defendant was only .32. Nakano
was acquitted and no other defendants
were arrested.
To these might be added all the Chi
nese tons war slayings of the last six
years. In some instances the gunmen
have been arrested, ' but .more often
they have not. In Ihe shootings of Feb
ruary 21 and February 2a, ona alleged
gunman haa already been acquitted
as innocent. The others have not and
probably never will be tried, for the
identification of the alleged slayers
is far from positive.
