POLICE SEEK WATCH
OWNED BY POOLE

That the Montgomery county officials
believe the discovery Of the watch that
belonged to Henson Poole will give
straight clue 10 the Identity of the muir
derer, was apparent today when Sheriff
G. F. Mullican and States Attorney
Bowie F. Waters held a consultation
with Inspector Boardrnan at Police
Headquarters. and requested him to use
ali the means in his power 10 help
them trace the watch.
While the Maryland officials are not
pos i've. they are firmly convinced that
the watch is in this city. Sheriff Multi
can came into Police Headquarters Just
before noon. and shortly afterward was
Joined by Mr.. Waters. They remained
in Inspector Boardman's private office
about fifteen minutes. Inspector Board
man stated after their departure that
he would do everything IN his power 70

The Maryland officials also asked the

On the way 10 Baltimore Harris talked
freely OF his days Of hiding from Of
hcers, aid Of his Imprisonment, but my
attempt TO breach the subject Of his at
tack on his aunt, or Of the Poole case,
Is promptly forestalled.
At Baltimore curious crowd had
gathered at the station, but the pris-
oner was hurried TO a cab and taken
directly to the city jail
Harris friends say they know that
Harris owed Poole money. Harris had
not been working steadily for about six
months, and during chat time II Is be-
Ieved borrowed heavily from Poole.
Holiday In Travilah.
Today Is a holiday in Travilah and
In Potomac where Poole and Harris
were as we'll known as in their own
homes. Men are gathered In little
groups at Waters" and "Perry's," the
two principal stores IN that section,
and women and children edge the
crowds that talk Of nothing else but
the attack and morder. The Poole
house for two days mas been the scene
Of visits from farmers who bring their
families IN buggies ana vehicles Of every
description from all over the county to
see where Poole was killed The body
Itself, decomposed and almost a skele-
ton, lies IN the central room OF the
little cottage and the doors are IN
locked.

the remains. Many are satisfied with

are more curious, and because it Is
feared they will disturb the body before
the coroner's jury has finished It's in

there today.
Strange to say there Is not the feeling
against Harris IN Travilah that existed
in Rockville yesterday when 1t was
feared that he would be taken from
the officials and strung to the nearest
tree. This fear on the part OF the au-
thorities resulted in his removal to Bal

Painted As Bad Man.
Since his attack upon his aunt, Ollie
Harris has been painted as a bad
man. a "Toysterer" and a ''rowdy."
Even the older men Of the town have
declared he was none Of these. The
worst they will say Of him Is that he
was a good fellow"
Among men OF his own age Harris was
popular. He played on the baseball
team and was reputed TO be the best
first baseman in the county he was an
adept at ali branches OF country sports.
At tournaments he again and again
crowned the queen OF love and beauty
BY virtue OF his victories.

for nearly all Of that time, has known

Circumstantial Evidence.
A close investigation made this morn
ing by the States attorney and members
of the coroner's jury seems to weave
an almost unbroken fabric of circum-
stantial evidence around Harris
Some OF the facts that will be con-
sidered in connection with the alleged
guilt of Harris when the jury meets
tomorrow are;
Before the last time Henson Poole was
seen, on July q, Harris was known TO
have been without funds and 10 have
borrowed money.
For two weeks after July p his friends
say that on several occasions he dis
played a large roll OF $ and $40 bills,
and spent moqey so freely as to cause
comment, although he was not then IN
der suspicion.
Harris drank occasionally, but seldom

gone, and sober enough 20 think clearly,
Harris began 70 brood and seemed Dent
on leaving town, according to the offi-
cisis, and he Is not known to have told
anyone where he was going. Added TO
these are the facts already brought 70
light that on the night Poole was last
seen alive he was in the company Of
Harris; that Poole had displayed money
on that night: that he invited Harris 10
spend the night with him, ana that
Harris was not at his own home on
that night.
Pair Heard to Curse.
Ollie, Ha -ris and Henson Poole were
heard cursing at each other as they

ward Poole's cottage just before mid
night on July q, the night when Poole
