MERRILL DEAD

Speaking Of Merrill. the Chi
eago sleuth says that he is dead
or at least he is positive that
the lesser desperate has not
been seen since June 26. The
detective goes farther and says
that his Office has run down a
score of rumors and theories
concerning Merrill and each
and every one of them have
proved worthless. He says
that If Merrill is not dead. he
has severed all connections
with Tracy and his sccompIices.
In conversation last night the
private officer said: "Why
would Merrill want to rejoin
his murderous companion il
once safe away Merrill prob
ably never killed anyone and
escaped from Salem with only a
Io-year sentence hanging over
his head. If he is alive, which
! do not believe, he has moved
his habitation far from King
county. The man was always
afraid Of Tracy and at no time
even while incarcerated with
him, did he believe himself
safe. Tracy took him along
because he has need of a com
panion. This was exemplified
by his taking Anderson from
Port Madison. No, / believe
Tracy murdered Merrill as he
said. 1t was not safe for either
one to sleep while the other
was awake"

TRACYS MOTIVES
ARE MADE CLEAR

Attracted by the national no
toriety of the Trscy-Merrill ep-
isodes, a detective bureau.
whose agents have for half a
century struck terror to the
criminal heart. set about to
thrash out the thousand and
one theories contingent to the
celebrated case. As carly as
three weeks ago the branch Of
fee at Portland was put to
work, assisted by special man
from Chicago. Instructions
from the head Office were not to
engage in the hunt for the
criminals but to surround the
circumstances of their escape
from Salem penitentiary and to
become acquainted with the ac-
ticns OF the murdcrers' accom-
plices.
RESULTS ARE KNOWN
The details of the work this
exceIlently organized detective
force accomplished cannot be
given but the results up TO last
night are known and can be
depended upon- notwithstand-
ing other conjectures and opin-
ions by local officers Of the
law, and laymen.
II has been ascertained that
negotiations were on foot be-
tween Tracy and Merrill and
two friends at Portland for
three months prior to June 8,
the morning of the convicts'
tragic escape from the penitcn-
tisry. One OF the persons IS
known VINO supplied the rifles
and ammunition but how they
were placed in the possession
Of Tracy and Merrill has yet to
be zscertained.
Aside from this individual
who supplied the guns and

been learned that two other ac-
tive accomplices have twice
been in communication with
Tracy and Merrill since their
break from prison and twice
with Tracy since he killed Mer-

ONE LAST DISPLAY
The detectives are certain
that Tracy. after being salts
fed that he could not perfect
his scheme. determined to
make one grand display OF
bravado and then get on, OF the
country. This IS largely proved
by his desperate actions Tues
day at the Gerrells house and
his apparent desire 20 have one
more bout with the man-hun-
tiers. At any rate the outlaw
sacrificed with apparent purpose
his provisions and travelled light
and fast toward the Green riv-
er valley.
The detectives say they can
not connect any woman ac-
lively with Traey's eonspira-
tors. There is one woman who
sympathixes with the outlaw.
but her work is passive.
The detective who has the
foregoing facts in his posses
sion. has names and details
which he will not disclose. He
says that one OF the men who
is known TO have helped Tracy
escape from the peniten,iary,
disappeared Tuesday and ev-
cry town in the Northwest has
been notified to be on the look
out for him.
