"At Salem we looked over a lot of
land, -and Llrid went around to call
on the Swedish, minister (John Ovali).
I didn't go with him. but .1 saw this
preacher from' a distance and Llnd
told me that I -'was -pointed out to the
minister by Jiim (Uhd)." It will be
remembered that the first Identifica
tion of Bartholomew following the
murder was made through the state
ment of the minister, Rev. John Ovall,
"The preacher told Llnd that he had
better not put -any money in Oregon
lahd. He t Would do better to give it
to Jesus,, the Lord, Llnd said the
preacher advised.
"Llnd was not religious. He at
tended church out of curiosity and
because he liked to hear the music.
Xiund Enters Case.
"We were in Portland five days be
fore" the murder came off. This fel
low Paul Lund, who killed Llnd, was
hi, old friend tf his. He met Lund in
Iioston, and I think he even brought
Lund over from the old country to
Boston. '
"Anyway he, paid Lund's way across
the country to the fair at San Francis
co, and they lived together for a while.
Lind was stuck . on this fellow, but
Lund had complained that Lind was
not giving him money enough.
"I never met this Lund until we
struck Portland. I saw. him several
times at a distance in San Francisco.
He wag a tall, heavy set man. blonde.
"We left Lund in San Frahclsco and
he didn't come here until Thursday,
the day Llnd was killed.
"That afternoon Llnd and I were In
in Blaster's saloon drinking, and Lind
spotted ?his old partner. I met Lund
and we shook hands. Llnd put down
fur bits for -the drinks, but Lund In
sisted on paying ?or them.
"Afterwards be called XJnd aside
and bummed "hint for $2."
Contradicted by Chief Clark.
At this stage .of .the Interview Chief
Clark appeared and contradicted Bar
tholomew with ;the 'remark that Lind
was hot a drinking man. Bartholo
mew, had intimated that Llnd was al
most drunk when he met Lund.
"Just Llnd and I, had supper to
gether that night. but. we met Lund
again at Blaster's afterwards. About
10 o'clock Lind and 1 went to the room
on' Stark street., .t don't know how
Lund found out where we lived unless
he followed us, . v. - . " '
"Our blinds were rp and I suppose
ho could see us,'' .Anyway Llnd was
In bed. and I had" my shoes and coat
off, when " someone knocked on the
door. I -found Lund outside. He be
kan talking to Lind, who wag in bed,
and then asked for I Iff, saying he had
to have the money lor a room and
some grub. ,
"Lind cot: sore and started to get

the answer,
i Here Bartholomew blew up In his
statement for a moment. He said he
was out of the room and didn't see
Lund administer the finishing blow,
but a second later he said that Lund
killed Lind with two swings of the
heavy club.
"When I came back this fellow
Lund said that he guessed Lind was
jdead. He dumped all the stuff out of
Linds trunk and shovea tne Doay
down in it.
Is- "Then he piled a part of the stuff
"Lund left the room first, and I
dressed and went down to the north
end and met him.
Confused in Statements.
, "Ton say that Llnd got out of bed
and Lund knocked him to the floor
and killed him?" Bartholomew was
1rA "TTnw riM all that blood ret
on the bedding 7"
. Bartholomew stirred uneasily and
his hands trembled as he replied:
"Well Llnd, he Just sat up In bed.
He didn't get out. Lund killed him
there. Anyway. I didn't see Lund kill
Mm or stick him in the trunk.
."When I met Lund downtown he had
a pmt of whiskey anl we drank It.
Lund had met the chap we saw him
with that day in Blazier's, and the
three of us finished the whiskey. We
three were up all night. I didn't bunk
anywhere.
."Next morning about 9 o'clock I
r asked him what he was going to do
aoout it. i ioia mm ine i&nuiaay
would find out and there would be
trouble.
' "Him and I went to the room-then,
and he told me to get a livery rig. I
went to the stables (Fashion stables.
Fifth and Davis streets), and got the
little covered wagon.
Trunk Put in Wagon.
"I jtheri drove up to the house and
helped him carry the trunk out. I got
the rig somewhere around 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and it must have been a
little past 3 or maybe 4 o'clock when
he took the trunk down to the dock,
v "We backed up to the end of the
wharf and' he took the trunk out and
set It on. the floor."
Bartholomew at this point did not
commit himself on whether or not he
helped the other man handle the trunk
and its Contents at the dock.
"I left Lund and the trunk on the
dock. I don't know what he did with
it, for I drove back to the livery stable
and put the horse away.
"Lund was going to meet m in the
north, end afterwards, but I never saw
him galn.
'Xund didn't give me anything for
my share, in the Job. He promised to
give me half, but as I've told you, I l
didn't connect with him any more. !
Lund told me that day that Lind didn't
have f 8000, or anything like it, but j
only had SS00 or $700."
Bartholomew said he knew nothing '
of the'' certificates of deposit that
Lind was known to be carrying. These
certificates have never shown up at
the Hibernia bank in San Francisco,
where the money was on deposit. The
police learned later that Llnd had
about $3500 in that bank. Bartholo
mew continued:
- v Xeturns for Suitcase.
- "After I put up the frig I went back
to the room and got my suitcase. The
door had not been locked during the
day, but it was locked when I left. I
didn't see the landlady again, because
Llnd had paid the rent in advance for
a week."
. Here Bartholomew made a statement
abput the. Lind overcoat, now in pos
session of the police. It was the dis
covery of this garment that led ulti
mately to Bartholomew's capture.
"Llnd gave me that overcoat. It was
too small for ma through the chest,
and when I was leaving town I gave it
to some fellow who hung around
Erlckson's."
This man was Robert Gavan, accord
ing to the police, who say that Gavan
followed Bartholomew all over the
country and finally landed him in
Seattle Saturday evening.
"That night (Friday)," continued
Bartholomew, "I went to Vancouver on
the street car and gave a brakeman
on the S., P. & S. 50 cents to let me
ride to Pasco. I was inside" (meaning
that he was in a boxcar).
Chicago Is Visited.
"I got to Spokane Sunday morning,
having bummed out of Pasco, and read
about the finding of the body in a j
Spokane paper, I stuck around Spokane '
a week, then beat it to Salt Lake,
stayed there a week, and went to Den- '
ver. I was two weeks there, then got I
a job as a cook in a construction camp
on the D. & R. G. near Boulder. I
was there a month, then went to Chi
cago, and remained most of the win
ter and spring.
"Along during the summer I con
nected with six Chicago people, who
went as tourists to Estes Park (Rocky
Mountain national park in Colorado),
and cooked for them for two months
in their camp. This was In July and
August. The camp was way up in the
mountains.
"Afterwards I went to Colorado
Springs, to Pueblo, Sellda and Green ,
Kiver, working along, and struck Salt
Lake again after a while. I then
swung up through Idaho, and Into
Montana, visiting Deer Lodge, Mis
soula. Spokane and other cities.
"At Spokane I spent a month and
won a $10 bet on Wilson, and $5 on
the wet and dry election in Montana.
I picked up this money from odd Jobs
1 had along the road.
"I struck Seattle Friday night, or
rather Saturday morning about 2
o'clock, and didn't get a room. I was
arrested that same night"
"Where did you get that money to
hire the rig and jay the brakeman to
get out of town with, if this fellow
Lund didn't split with you on Linds
money T' asked Chief Clark.
Kan Appeared Herrous.
"Oh, that was on mony Llnd gaVe
me the day before. He handed me a
twenty," Bartholomew replied.
During the statement Bartholo
mew's hands shook constantly, and
frequently it was with an effort that
he controlled his lips so he could ut
ter his words.
Bartholomew was put through the
BertiUon examination first thing this
morning. He submitted silently and
willingly, and didn't say a word during
the entire proceeding, which lasted
about half an hour. i
City Detective Frank Snew. who
brought Bartholomew back to Port
land, said that. Robert Gavan also re
turned here last night to. claim the
reward of $500 offered by the state.
