M0RTENSEN'S BROTHER
EXPLAINS REVOLVER

Henry MOTtenSen. the brother OF the
suspect, has come forward with an eX-
PLANTATION in relation to the revolver
found concealed in Peter MOrtensen's
house. whica Chief Hilton on Saturday
night declared a 3S-caliber weapon, cor
responding TO the bullet found in Hays
head, and in his opinion, the revolver
from which the fatal shot was fired.
Peters revolver was a cheap affair,
which he received as a premium with
some book or magazine to which he
once subscribed" said Henry MOrten-
sen While at first, through the fact
it was hidden, does look suspicious, it
is easily explained, and amounts to
nothing. Something like a year ago
Peters little boy was discovered play
ing with the weapon. The incident
frightened Peter, and he placed the re-
v0lver where it could be secured if ever
wanted and at the same time would be
out of the reach of the children.
That is the whole story in a nut
shell. Chief HiltOn's hue and cry that
it was the weapon with which Hay was
shot is nonsense. In the first place, he
saws that the fatal bullet was of s.
caIiber. Peters revolver. if I am not
very much mistaken, was Of 32-caliber.
Ii was the last revolver on which one
would want to rely in a very tight
place"
Henry Mortensen's statement in re-
lation to why the revolver was hidden
was corroborated by his wife and 9TH
ers familiar with the incident.

TRYING TO TRACE THE
MOVES OF M0RTENSEN

The county attorneys Office is pay
ing particular attention to the fact that
Mrs. MOrtensen in her statement, made
Immediately after Mortensen's arrest,
fails to account for a sufficient amount
OF Mortensen's time to correspond with
the time consumed by Deputy Sheriff
Busby in re-enacting the Hay case
from the moment he left MOrtensen's
door until the perpetrator of the
atrOcity could have returned to that
spot
With Mortensen's shovel a grave
similar to that in which the body was
found was excavated in six minutes
The trip from where Hay was slain to
Mortensen's barn was made in pre-
vIsely three minutes 1t is now the
generally accepted theory by the Of
fiCers that four trips, or two round
trips. were made, requiring less than
twelve minutes, on the presumption
that part Of the distance was covered
by running That would make total
of eighteen minutes.
1t is the theory OF the sheriff's office
that the entire transaction, including
a trip to Mrs. Henry MOTtensen's
house. Where Mortensen escorted his
sister-in-law home last Monday night,
would not occupy more than half an
hour.

NARROWLY MISSED
SEEING THE TRAGEDY

The police were led a merry chase.
yesterday, looking up a lead that prom
ised we'll but which was found to be
worthless. Word reached headquarters
that Bert Young, 123 Terrace avenue,
was sitting on the steps of the school
house directly opposite both Hays and
MOrtensen's homes at 9 O'clock Monday
evening, and had seen the men start
out together.
The matter was investigated, and was
productive of nothing more than an
illustration OF how nsrrowly Young
escaped being a witness to the affair."

road back as far as the school house.

MAY BE BLOOD STAINS
ON HANDLE OF SHOVEL

On the handle Of the shovel found in
AIOrtenSen's barn, and which is now
in the hands Of Sheriff Naylor on the
assumption that Hays grave was dug
with it, several stains appear. Are
these blood stains?
Sheriff Naylor believes they are. The
stains are about a foot and half from
the upper end and are of a nature that
could be made by oil used as q wood
polish. paint or by blood, When the
shovel was found Wednesday it bore
indications vf having been recently
washed with care. All the other SHOW
els about the barn were dirty, having
been used in cleaning out the place.
This particular shovel that fits the
grave was as clean as though it had
lust come from the factory. It was
that circumstance that first directed
attention to it.
It is the intention 20 have the handle
examined by an expert and investigate
what caused the discolOration. Wheth-
er or no the peculiar spots upon it
were left by human blood, the shovel
is regarded as a highly important bit
of evidence.

OTHER DEBTS THAT
M0RTENSEN OWED

1t developed yesterday that Morten-
sen has been owing the Salt Lake
Building & Manufacturing company
about S300 for some time past, and has
been pressed Tor the payment but de-
clared to the bookkeeper on the Mon
Gay of Hays disappearance that he
was unable to pay their account.
According to the statement Of the
bookkeeper, J. II. Cripps, Mortensen
has been indebted to the company for
some months, and the company had
been pressing him for payment.

ton. Mortensen was recently asked TO
explain why that was not done, and in
reply declared it was due to an over
sight.
When the money was paid, he said,
Hay reached over to the center table
and laid the note and receipt upon it.
They were attached together with a
pin. Despite the fact that in order to
be Of any value the note would have
to be Cancelled in writing, Mortensen
declared he paid no attention to either
it or the receipt until the following
day.
DisbeIieved by Officers.
Then, and then for the first time,
AIortensen looked over the note and
the receipt. The authorities hold that
the story is beyond belief on the
grounds that in order to have placed
the papers on the table hay would
have had 10 arise from his seat and
stepped part way across the ROOM
That Mortensen would have paid the
money under those circumstances
without seeing what he was receiving
in return, they think highly imprOb-
able in view of his cautious nature.
Mortensen has been submitted to sew
eral severe examinations on that point,
but after discovering the significance
attached to his statement, has refused
to discuss it.

He 20 Hav Alone.

Sheriff Mayor stated last night that,
in a conversation with him, Mortensen
had declared ne did not try TO impli
cate any one else in the crime, be
cause he did not know any one to inn
piicate Ihe statement was made
during a conversation about the two
unknown men who are said to have
ridden down on the car with Hay and
MOrtensen the night of Hays disap-
pearance. According to the statement
Of the sheriff, MOrtensen declared that
he and Hay were with no one else and
that the other two men were not sit
ting with them at all MOrtensen re-
marked, according to the sheriff,
Don't you think I would implicate
some one else if I could? I under
stand my situation as well as any
one" When pressed for further state
ments the prisoner would not talk.
