Who Was Murdered in Portland a Short Time Before the

Him as the Man to Whom She Rented the Rooms in
Which the Little Girl Was Murdered---Shown His Pho
tograph She Said "He Fits the Description Exactly."
Portland, Ore., Dec. 21, with
Nathan Harvey under arrest In Ore
gon City, charged with the murder
of the Hill family at Ardenwaid sta
tion, Mrs. Bertha Nelson today par
tially Identified his photograph as
the man to whom she rented rooms
in which little Barbara Holtzman
wis murdered in Portland last spring
shortly before the Hill murder oc
curred. Shown a photograph of Harvey to
day she said:
"He fits the description exactly.'
"Would you go on the stand and
swear that he Is the man?" was
asked. .
"No, I would not do that unless I
was sure," she replied.
Harvey and Leon Lochard, a pris
oner at Kelly's Butte, who has been
under Investigation in connection
with the murder of the child, bear re
markable photographic likenesses to
each other. Both of them have grey
mustaches, are middle-aged, and
have sunken cheeks.
Mrs. Nelson, when shown Loch
ard's photograph, said: "He looks
like the man," but declined to make
any further statement.
Regarding Harvey, Mrs. Nelson
said she would not make any posi
tive identlflcatibn until she met the
man of the photograph. This priv
ilege probably will be granted her
very soon.
Another link in the chain of c'r
cumstantlal evidence ' connecting
Haryey with the Hill murders was
forged today when Jay Bowerman,
head of a prominent firm of attor
