Assaalt To Be Charged (Continued from page one) cause the assailant fled south It was thought that whoever he was he might have gone to Salem. Police were HO' tifled and, reinforced by the sheriff men, they began to systematically comb the city. Shortly before mid night Sheriff Needham and Deputies l'.ert Smith and Oscar Rowers found Mulllnix 1 lug In bed in his room in the Hex hotel. He had been there about 20 minutes, he claimed. He was taken to jail. Mulllnix. who batches in a smalt house on Shipping street, and who has been a frenmnt visitor in pool halls here lately, claims that he was in town "nil evening, and that be was playing pool at the time the shooting is said to have occurred. Pullet Only Clue. Earry this morning Deputies Smith and liowers returned to the Stelger farm and conducted a systematic Kenreh In and around the yard for clues. Sheriff Needham said this morning that it known that Mulllnix had a revolver, the calibre of which is the sume as the one which fired the shots. No weapon of any kind was found on him when arrested, however. One of the buleets, taken from Stri ker's body, furnished the only clue up on which authorities could work, they aid. In the absence of any apparent mo tive, Sheriff Needham declared, the case was doubly hard to work upon. If reason for the crime could be es tablished there would be less difficulty In tracing the gunman. Grudge Theory KcotileA. Little credence is placed by the sheriff in the story of nn old grudge Mulllnix held for Stelger. Stelger, last night, told authorities that he employ ed Mulllnix on his farm in April, 1918. He found fault with the way in which Mulllnix handled the horses, and he aid at the time the prisoner resented this. Sheriff Needham holds that It If unlikely that Mulllnix would persist ently brood over this for two years, then return for revenge. Btelffcr la about (0 years old, and strung. This will aid his recovery, hos pital attache declared. He la well known among farmers, and In a bust - this city. Prosecuting Attorney Ciehlhar said Bill afternoon (hat Mulllnix claimed had set his bicycle against a lamu tioat In front of a pool hall at 120 South Commercial street at :S. and had let it atand there until 10:30. By thia he hopes to establish an alibi Gehlhar believes. Hawly to Seek Re-Election to Congress He Says W. C. Hawley, 989 Oak street, Salem will see re-election to his present posi tion In congress.
