Bloomfield Said to be at Waimea with
Charles David.

One by one the tangled threads Of
the skein of mystery surrounding the
discovery of the drowned and probably
murdered man in the harbOr, are being
Strengthened, and the various men who
have been cited as missing have been
either reported by their friends or have
proved their own alibi against death
by appearing alive, and well on the
scene. The clues have narrowed down
until there are now only two disappear
ances to be accounted for, one of these
being Arthur Bloomfield a deserter
from the Iredale, whose description tall
lies in many ways with that of the
dead man.
Taking the various clues as they came
up, the laundry mark theory has been
brought to the following conclusions.
kerChef found on the dead man was
"G' The handkerchief did not tally in
quality or likelihood of legitimate pos
session with the clothes worn by the
deceased, who may have stolen it or
possibly had it given him by some
sweetheart in this or another port.
There were two laundry marks on the
dead mans linen zoos and 2OOS3. The
marks on Chatterton's linen were H2OOS
no 3 being attached.
Chatterton who is a member of the
crew on the Warren, is somewhat aris-
/ tOcratiC in his tastes as is evidenced
by the number of ebOiled' shirts and
handkerchiefs that he sent to the laun-
dry, has no missing aCquaintances nor
is he cognizant of any Of his linen being
missing. The laundry marks do not
precisely tally and one or more may
have been old marks from another laun-
dry The coincidence that Chatterton
should be on board the Warren which
lay in the center of the tragedy is
curious one.
