CURIOUS LETTERS TELL
OF HILLS COMPANIONS
Police Find Clue to His Disappearance
in Reference to Distinguish
ed Fellow Travellers.

Letters received by friends of John
J. Hill, the young Washington lawyer.
who was found unconscious on the
streets of San Francisco one week ago
and later died on a hospital. furnish a
clue which the California police will
follow very closely.
These letters, whose contents have
Just been indicated make FREQUENT
mention of bank presidents and dis
tinguished persons" in whose company
Hill undoubtedly was just prior 10 his
death. The theory of the police Is that
these people were a gang of sharpsrs.
into whose hands Hill fell. and that
they are responsible for the blow on
his head which caused his death The
motive would be robbery.
In one letter, written to George e
Tralles. of this city. dated at san
Francisco. June 80. he says: Il came
here with a bank president and his
daughter In another letter, written
90 Charles w. Boyle. of this city, dated
June %. Hill says: Il Travelled with a
bank president. a special envoy from
Japan, and a prominent San Francisco
merchant, and have invitations from all
TO call The bank president has an at
uactive daughter, and I shall call on
the lady before l leave Still third
letter indicates that Hill had left the
Grand Hotel and was staying with
these new friends.
This IS just where the police LOST his
trail-when he left the hotel. They viii
rev take it up again. Hill is the young
WashingtOnian. graduate of the Ma
tiCnal University. who had accepted
place with the Quartcrmaster' Depart
ment Of the army. and was en- route to
the Philippines, leaving Washington
