With every detective and plain
clothes man in the department ana
many Of the regular officers drawn in
from their beats and put on the case,
the Portland police feel confident that
within "a hours they will have ar
rested the two murderers Of Nathan
Wolff, the wealthy pawnbroker, who
was so brutally murdered in his store
in the heart OF the business district at
6 o'clock Friday evening.
The police are working on the the
ory that local men did the horrible
work
1t is estimated that they secured
about $15eO worth of jewelry and
coin. Two suspects are being shadow
ed
The murder was committed about 6
o'clock, when two men entered the
store and shot Wolff in the neck.
They then dragged the body into a
rear room and hacked the head and
neck iuEo ap nHrecognizable mass.
The store was then ransacked and
the men left about 8. TIE murder
was discovered by Special Officer
Robinson 20 minutes later.
Wolff was pawnbroker at 165
First street for 25 years, was promi-
nent in Jewish circles and was
wealthy.
The police believe that one of the
Tnugdercrs is taller than the other
and that the rail- man did the shoot
ing. After the first shot, Wolff evil
dently jumped TO the left and the tall
murderer shifting his aim fired
second shot which reached Wolff's
neck. 1t brought the unfortunate man
dGWn in splatter of blood that
orenched the articles of furniture in
