Hill House No. 1X3 212* Identity of Veteran 1» Baffling Mystery (Coaliaaed from Page 1) service in California made detail ed reports concerning Tarbot's his tory, including data procured through conference with Veteran’s Bureau authorities, and interviews with Tarbot. From that time to the present date the Mar ine Corps has actively prosecuted its search for evidence to assist this man, and its efforts are being con tinued vigorously now; no atone is being left unturned which might lead to a solution, and restore him to his proper niche in public life. Not only have Tarbot’s finger prints been compared with the prints in the Marine Corps files, as a whole, which search should in itself be positive evidence that Tarbot was never a member of the Marine Corps, but, it having been claimed at different occasions that he may have been a member of one or another Marine Corps company, tbe individual record of every man in each such organiza tion mentioned was drawn from the files, and the fingerprints of that individual compared with those of Tarbot. While excellent fingerprint spec imens were received from the West Coast, purporting to be those of Tarbot, nevertheless when he came to Washington, D. C., and re ceived treatment under the pro tection of the Veterans’ Bureau, an expert from the Marine Corps promptly visited him and secured several sets of impressions from Tarbot’s fingers, and comparison showed them identical with those previously submitted for him. He was at thia time interviewed by officers from Marine Corps Headquarters, and an officer whom he had mentioned as having ser ved with in France. These inter views, while tending to confirm a belief in his sincerity, and also that he really had seen service during the World War in France, elicited nothing else of value. Recognizing that the fingerprint method of identification is posi tive the Marine Corps felt, after its first search of the files, that Tarbot was never an officer or enlisted man in its service, al though such fragments of his war record as he was able to relate would point to this branch of the American forces. The immediate result of this publicity campaign was very in teresting, if not successful. Letters commenced to come into the Mar ine Corps Headquarters from, of ficers and enlisted men through out the service, who either claim ed a positive or at least a very probable identification of the sub ject; some stated they knew him well, others felt quite sure as to who he was, where he had served, etc. As such letters often furnish specific names it was but the work of minutes to secure their individ ual records, compare the finger prints, and once more come to .a standstill. In each instance i: was simple to prove that Tarbot wns not the person referred to by those writing in, but the apparent posi tive identification of several dif ferent men as Tarbot was an in teresting feature. The field of searching was now extended still further; and copies of the circular, containing Tarbot’s picture, fingerprints and personal description were forwarded to government officials of Canada, South America republics and dif ferent countries of Europe, sol iciting their aid, and replies re ceived were invarably in the neg ative. Of course the fingerprints com parisons in Washington did not stop with the Marine Corps files; the offices of the Adjutant Gen eral of the Army, and the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department, made very careful searches of their fingerprint records, and the quest ion of his identification is at the present time an active subject for their branches of the service. Summing up the situation we find Tarbot, himself an intelligent man, with an earnest, convincing and at times pathetic manner, will ing. and in fact eager to talk a- bout his affairs, and extremely re ceptive concerning any possible clues as to his identity. His own story has changed but little over the period he has been before the public, although through numerous interviews with members of the Marine Corps, military, civil, civic and fraternal organizations, he has undoubtedly and unconsciously ab sorbed many points, which have been presented to him as facts identifying him as one person or another. That he should still be able to present any consistent nar rative concerning his history is a wonder, as hi so eagerly grasps like a drowning man at anything which seems even remotely to be favorable, that may be offered as evidence of his earlier personal record. Even back in 1922, Tarbot dis played definite and accurate know ledge of military procedure, and war conditions overseas, sufficient ly so that every person who was familiar with these subjects and who talked with him, was satis fied that he had served overseas, with some branch of the military forces during the World War. The United States Marine Corps is anxious to help Jerry Tarbot, particularly so in view of his own expression of opinion that he had served with the marines in France and its efforts in his behalf will be continued as vigorously in the future as they have in the past. It is the intention of this arti cle to inform its readers as to what the Marine Corps has done in the case of Tarbot, so that any mem ber or former member of the Corps who haa read the same can discuss the subject intelligently, and per haps divert unnecessary questions, or assist proper inquiries in more promptly reaching their destination. And so rests the case of Jerry Tarbot, The Mystery Man, at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Egan of Rainier, formerly proprietors of the Betty Jane rcsturant here, were visiting in Vernonia Monday. They were accompanied by Mr. Egan’s brother, Wm. Egan of Y'uba City, Cal. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Malmsten entertained Mr and Mr;. Wolff and their daughter for Christmas dinner.
