(AP) Al-. house an old .32 calibre revolver though Interest lnjhe George M. I was found in aa apple orchard, Hess murder case has been re-1 and It was later proven that this vlved by the posting of a 11,000 reward for the apprehension ot the murderer, no new evidence has been produced and the case remains as mystifying as ever, ac cording to District Attorney Guy Cordon. It was the hope of the district attorney, grand Jury and county court that new informa tion might be received through the offering of a reward but so far there have been no developments. Lacking any apparent motive, simple and yet baffling, the Hess murder case Is one of the most difficult the officers of Douglas county ever have faced. George Hess, 56, devoat, mild mannered and industrious Janitor of the federal building at Rose burg, was shot down at his little farm home two miles west of this city In the early morning ot May 4. So far as known he had no en emies, owed no one, was not ar gumentative and was a kind and thoughtful husband. No trace of domestic difficulties could be found for use as a motive. Mrs. Hess was the only witness to the tragic event. According to her story, given officers immediately after the murder and on several subsequent occasions to special investigators, the grand Jury and others, Hess returned from his work at the federal building about 11 p. m his usual time. He sat down for a few minutes to read his Bible, and then retired shortly before midnight. About 1 a. m. Mrs. Hess said, they were awakened by a shot fired through the bedroom win dow, the glass being shattered. A gruff voice commanded them to turn on the bedroom lights. Aft er a short hesitancy during which they were threatened with im mediate death unless the lights were turned on. Hess snapped on the switch. He and his wife back ed into the kitchen which adjoin ed the bedroom and there decid ed to run to a neighbor. Mrs. Hess said she could see a man's face, partly masked, at the window, but could not identify him. They ran out of the house, the woman leading. As Hess turned the corner of the building he was met by the attacker, who fired another shot which struck Hess In' the heart, caasinr instant death. When officers arrived they found that the light In the bed- rom had ben turned out. while the kitchen lights had been switched on. The shade over the shattered bedroom window had been drawn. Outside were found the footsteps where the man had stood. Across the road from the was the wespon with which Hess was slain. No motive could bo uncovered as Hess pocket book was untouch ed on the dresser and his keys to the federal building were un touched. Attempts were made to break down the story ot Mrs. Hess, but she remained unshaken In her statements and no domest ic trouble could be shown to cast suspicion upon her. E. O. Heinrlch, criminologist. who obtained evidence that con victed the D'Autremont brothers, i was called to assist In the inves tigation, but aside from helping with physical evidence, his work proved fruitless. He became so in terested in the case that he made a further Investigation at his own expense, but equally without re sults. ' Every rumor was carefully traced, but the case has continued unsolved. The grand Jury i Teb ruary reviewed an evidence and tsfonnatloa gathered by efOeers, but was unable to reach ear con clusion. - It was then rocossmo ndod that a reward be posted in the hope that the inducement might ob tain now elnes, but now hope is beginning to dwindle- and tt Is feared that the murderer will re main uncaught. Silverton Church Devotion Service Held on Sunday SILVERTON, March It The Thirteen Hour devotion was held at St. Paul's church Sunday. The church was beautifully decorated for the occasion with a profusion of rose-pink carnations and gold en narcissi. Dozens of candles were also used In the decoration scheme. Three priests officiated during the day. These were the Rev. Father Goetzinger of Ionia, Iowa, the Rev. J. Scherbring of Silver ton. and Msgr. Zagman of Adrian, Minnesota. A possession of 14 flower girls and 14 altar boys added to the dignity of the services. clare, to make a successful Journ ey in a motorless craft. Ob one occasion Lindbergh car ried along tour turkey sandwiches and some water, believing there was enough wind.. to carry him south, but the .breeze failed as did others during his weeks awaiting the opportunity to negotiate the hazardous mountain country.

A Quarter ot a centnrr azo at- Leonard's ranch near Bantu, Crhs these air currents were pioneered by John J. Montgomery, a S25 a month professor at Santa Clara university. Montgomery would hare his glider hoisted by a balloon and then cut loose andr then rely on air currents for navigation. He himself made many flights and a professional parachute jumper us ing his machine made a soaring landing from a height of 8,000 feet. Balked by tailing winds, Lind bergh turned instructor to society folk ot the peninsula. A primary glider, towed across tne litida at a speed wnicn ia not permit it to rise, was brought in from his pupils. Under the. avia tor's tutelage the norlcer were taught to handle the controls as the craft sped-over the ground.
