DETECTIVES OBTAIN
NO DEFINITE CLUE
TO BRUTAL ASSASSINS
Portland, May 2. Detectives are
forking to solve the. mystery of the
Wribij murder of. Nathan Wolff,
.vil'ed In Sis jewelry and pawnuro-
jer's shop last night, but so far have
lecn unsuccessful in their search for
.definite clue. Witnesses have been
found who saw a man in front of the
ll0re about 6:30 whom the police
telieve was a lookout. The man
stood in a pelting rain without pro
lection and attracted attention by his.
disregard for the soaking. Another:
witness has been located who about !
the same hour saw three men inside
the shop. A bloody handkerchief,
blood-stained collar and brown neck- i
lie have been found, but these clues
jiromise little apparent value so far.
(jeyond such meagre clues nothing
aas been discovered which offers a
hope that the miirderjus robbers will
be captured.
From the b;st Information obtain
able the robbers secured ub.iut $lxtlil
111 jewelry and money. What puz
zles the police is the fact that alter
shooting Wolff fatally in the neck,
the robbers dragged him into th-'
back room and hacked his head u
pieces with a hatchet. The fiendish
ness of the assault leads the police
to the belief that the nwiiive for the
crime had in it a good portion of revenge.

beneath tlu' h'J of the murdered
man. The criu,? was undoubtedly
committed by two thugs, meu whose
demands for money an.l valuables
Wiff resisted at the cos! of his life.
The murderers evidently entered the
store through the Irtmt door, and
bloodstained footprints leading from
the rear room, where the body was
found, through the store, testified
that they made their exit through
the same door. It is estimated that
the robbers secured jewelry to the
amount of about $ lotto, an.l rifled
the money drawers and the cash box
in the "pUdgo" safe of about $30U
in money.
Nathan Wolff, a pawnbroker at
105 First street, was brutally mur
dered in his place of business some
time between 0 and 7 o'clock last
night. Wolff was first shot through
the neck, then his body was dragged
into a rear room, where his bend was
horribly hacked with a hatchet, the
