An election card of Sheriff Hurlburt
waj found early Wednesday morning,
the day of Thompson's arrest. The
card was spattered with blood, and was
found along with Rlntman's hat. lap
robe and a bloody and graphite covered
shirt sleeve cuff on the north side of
the road, a short distance west of the
Jennings home. In The Journal of
Wednesday, May 17, nothing was said
of the finding of the blood spattered
card.
Thompson Washes Clothes.
On Thursday morning Thompson wiyi
taken to HlUsboro by Sheriff Reeves.
He was apparently calm and unper
turbed. The same day Sheriff Reeves
and Deputy Sheriff Phillips talked with
James Thompson, the brother. He said
that he had driven to Oak Grove Tues
day, following the murder, and that he
had visited his brother, Bennett Thomp
son, at his home on Forty-second ave
nue hortly before noon the next day
(Wednesday). James Thompson said
that he found his brother washing
some clothes.
At that time James Thompson had
not heard of the murder, according to
his story, but learned of it later In
the afternoon from those at a stab'.c
where he had taken his horse. He
says he went back to his brother's
house to ask him about the murder
and found that his brother had gone to
visit his father in St. Johns.
The deputy sheriffs and detective
had gone to the home of Thompson's
parents in St. Johns at 2 o'clock on
Wednesday morning searching for
Bennett Thompson but his parents de
nied knowing where he lived or where
he could be found.)
Kemaanta of Shirt round.
Thursday, the day following Thomp
son's arrest, searchers found the rem
nants of a shirt presumed to have
bepn worn by the murderer. This
shirt was minus both cuffs and where i
the cuffs had been torn off the edgee
of the sleeves were very jagged. The
left cuff found the day before was
found to have been a part of the same
shirt. This shirt was covered with
blood and the blood had been covered
with graphite as though an attempt
had been made to hide the blood spots.
(A can of graphite was found In Rist
man's automobile.) Most of the blood
spots were on the sleeves near the
jagged edges and one the left front
of the shirt.
last Saturday afternoon, four days
after the murder was discovered.
Sheriff Reeves. Deputy Sheriff Beck
man and Detectives Goltz and Howell
went to the house where Thompson
bad been living with Mrs. James
Thompson.
From the clothesline they took a
shirt, and from the house several
pipres of clothing which had been
worn According to the officers Mrs.
James Thompson told them that the
undershirt belonged to Bennett Thomp
son. The shirt was cream colored.
"It's Bens shirt; I washed it a!
couple of days ago," she said, accord
ing to the officers.
(Roscoe Hurst, Thompson's attor
ney, says that he can prove that
Thompson wore a salmon colored suit
of underwear on Sunday, Monday and
up to the time of his arrest).
Are Bloody Spots on Shirt T
On this undershirt several peculiar
looking spots were found. The shirt
was taken to Bertlllon Expert Hunter
for examination.
The atlda used were old but they
were placed on the peculiar looking
spots. Sheriff Reeves waited a short
time and when not positive reaction
was noticeable left, taking the shirt
with him to Sheriff Hurlburt'a office.
The shirt was there unwrapped and
according to Sheriff Reeves and others
present then, the acid had brought out
blood spots. This was about 10 min
utes after the acid had been placed
on the spots. The 10 minutes was
spent In going from the police station
to the sheriff's office.
This shirt waa . taken to Hillsboro
where the bloody ' outside shirt had
previously been taken. Sheriff Reeves
was on the scene of the murder last
Sunday, the day following the taking
of the shirt, and no opportunity wis
found to make a minute examination
of both the undershirt and outside
l shirt.
I Do Spots Coincide?
j On Tuesday it was announced that
j a comparison had been made of the
I two ahirta and Sheriff Reeves aald as

I the two ahirta with him, could deter-

shirt and the peculiar looking spots
were In corresponding positions.
The same day P. X. John su wh
had seen a stranger talking to the
murdered Jitney driver tha night of
the murder, picked Thompson out f
a half dozen prisoners In the Hills
boro Jail. He said he waa "morally
certain Thompson was . the man he
had seen talking to R 1st man," - .
Johnson said that lie had seen Rist
man and the stranger together near
the corner of Second " and Alder
streets at about 7 o'clock:' Pa ill Tiih

in the evening near the same corner,
was not certain in his identification.
Wednesday a member of The Journal
staff went to Hillsboro. Sheriff Rteves
showed him the undershirt and outside
shirt. The most prominent spot on the
undershirt was on the left sleeve. The
bloody and graphite covered cuff was
placed around the left sleeve spd a
comparison made. Although the shape
of the spot on the undershirt is Irreg
ular where the acid had gone onto th
garment, aa near as could be . deter
mined, this spot is directly beneath the
blood spot on the outside shirt cuff.
When Thompson was arrested he
wore a blue serge suit of clothes. This
suit had been taken off of Thompson
ater he had been placed in the Hills
boro Jail. The cloth was of good tex
ture. The maker's name and the own
er's name usually found on a strip, of
cloth Inside-of the pocket of a suit
of clothes, were missing.
Spota on His Coat. .
' The lining of the sleeves is white,
with small, dark-colored stripes run
ning lengthwise. On the lining of the
right sleeve, about an inch or more
from the end of the sleeve, were about
half a doaen small spots. These spots
were red in color and resembled dried
blood. Farther back some dark spota
were noticed, and when the sleeve was
held so that the light rays would strike
it there appeared to be tiny particles
in the black substance which reflected
the light.
Graphite, such as found on the
bloody outside shirt, contains thousands
j of tiny carbon rarticles which reflect
. the light
Up until noon of that day Thompson
! ha'd little to say to anyone. Roscoe
' Hurst, his attorney, had told him not
to talk to anyone. At noon, however,
he appeared restless and nervous, and
asked Sheriff Reeves to have District
' Attorney Tongue of Washington county
visit him.
Thompson Says Wothing.
When Tongue arrived Thompson
wanted to know when he was to be ar
i raigned. He said that the officers, hard
no right to keep him in jail. Tonguo
told vhim that he would be given a
hearing just as soon as he told where
he was the night of the murder.
Thompson had no more to say.
The same afternoon Sheriff Reeves
had Thompson surrender the under
clothes he then had on. Thompson
called upon other prisoners in the Jail
to examine them before he gave them
over to the sheriff.
Yesterday morning the body of
Ristman was found about two miles
south of the Jennings home. It was
a short distance from the Graham's
ferry road, which is now little used.
Ristman had been killed by a blow on
the back of the head. A hole nearly
four Inches in diameter was found in
the skull.
(The officers say that no one except
one familiar with the country would
leave the body where he did. The of
ficers had considerable difficulty in
Keating the spot.)
As for the murder of Mrs. Jennings.
She was in bed when killed. She
had been struck on the head with a
splitting maul. This maul was found
in her room near the bed and had
blood ' on the blunt edge and blood'
spots on the handle. '
(This maul waa taken from the
basement of her home. Joseph . Gal
breath, who lives at Cipole and who
waa at the Jennings home Monday
afternoon, says, that-he saw tha maul
in the basement of the house on that
cay.)
Anto uovere with Blood.
Klstman's automobile was found
directly behind the house, right in
the center of a square formed by
four fruit trees. The machine was
racing the house and the house is
on the aouth side of the road to
Aewberg. There were blood spots on
the windshield, blood on the left side
or the cushion on the back seat and
