Monday afternoon Fred carter, route 8, box 70, a half-brother, and others called at the police station to learn more details about Chaf fee's death. Looking across the counter they spied a brown traveling bag, silt along one side of the top. They Immediately identified it aa Chaf. fees property. An overcoat that he was supposed to have was miss ing. Today Carter declared that aearcn so far has failed to reveal a bun dle of personal papers, known to Include a deed to 180 acres of farm land in Mexico. Missing also, Car ter declares, is a pocket notebook which he always carried. Whether anything was missing from the tra veling bag he could not state, for he was not sufficiently xamutar with the dead man's personal ef fects. Chaffee, according to many who knew him, could "handle his liquor" and none, who have known him for a period of year,, said that they had ever seen him "out" in any manner or that he had ever become sick as a result of drinking. He was not a "heavy'' drinker, they state. An intimate friend for a number of years, Rom B. Clark, route 8, Box S79, declared that h. had been with Chaffee almost every Saturday night since July 1. He asserted that "Chaffee was able to take care of any two men" In event ha was attacked. Chaffee lost an eye in an accident about a year ago and since then has been a little cau- tlous about driving at night, and generally asked him, Clark, to drive for him. Chaffee, who form. erly lived on route 8, had been working under Glen price, fore man at the Sllverton Planning mills.. Additional Information was giv en by Mrs. Halite Lynch, 850 Broad- way, who aald that aha had occu pied an apartment tn the same building where Chaffee roomed for three years while working here, and that while aha had had fullest op portunity to observe him at all times, she had never seen Chaffee well under the influence of liquor. Because of these known facts. the authorities are proceeding along the line that Chaffee may have been the victim of "knock out" drops administered to him hi a drink. Ha was seen in front of a South Commercial street establish. ment around 10:30 o'clock Saturday night by several acquaintances, all of whom pronounced him sober at that time. Price this afternoon wu unable to state how much cash Chaffee was carrying when he left Silver- ton. Price said he gave him a check for 818, which was cashed Saturday here In Salem and a pre-dated check because Chaffee did not want to have so much money with him. How much coin or currency he pos sessed or might have acquired after leaving Sllverton, he was unable to guess. Chaffee had laid off work for two weeks and was on his way to south ern Oregon where he had an In terest In a amall mine near Orants Pass. Organization of Drug Stores Fought Mllwaukle. Ore..
