MAN HUNT STILL
GOING FORWARD
Escaped Murderer Still at Large,
but Police Capture His
Deserted Pup.
tFrom Sundays Advertiser,

station from as many different sources
started Sheriff Jarrett and Chief Nc
Dufie on several wild goose chases, and
the negro is still at large, with the
search narrowing down to such point
that 1t is believed he will fall into the
closing net by tonight.
McDuffie was not able to take up the |
search until four O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, after the Chiyo Maru had
sailed with Prince Tsai Tao, whom he
had been deputed to guard. Then, after
having been over twentyfour hours on
the job without sleep, he and Sheriff
Jarrett started out on dash into the
country which resulted in the accumu-
lation of the yellow pup.
In the morning a trace of the muir
derer was thought to have been dis
covered in a house on School street
that had been robbed. Jack McGrath
reported to McDuffie that his house had
been entered in the early hours of the
morning and his clothes and some food
stolen.
Stole Leisurely.
Captain Oleson of the dredger South
Bay boards with the McGraths and is
in the habit of coming home about four
O'Clock in the morning, after leaving
work. Yesterday morning, however, he
was detained, and just about the time
he was due the nocturnal visitor ar
rived.
McGrath states that if he had heard
him he would not have paid any atten-
ton to him, as he would have thought
that it was Oleson. The cat, however,
came into the room and started to
NEW vigorously, and after ten min
utes or so Mrs. McGrath got up to let
the animal out. AS she stepped into
the kitchen she noticed things had been
disarranged, and glance into Oleson IS
room showed a red Hawaiian quilt on
the bed instead of the white spread that
had been there. Also Captain Oleson
was nowhere to be seen.
She at once called her husband and
thorough search of the premises was
made. !
The house is directly on the Nuuanu
stream on Cottage walk, just off School
street. The thief had come down the
stream, and finding the first house va
cant, passed on to the next. To look
into the window he turned over boul.
der beneath it to stand on, and looked
in. Seeing the table in the kitchen set
for Captain Oleson s meal, he decided
that he had come to the right premises
and started to look into the next room.
What happened Immediately after
that is doubtful as under the second
window is an upturned soy tub that
had been taken from a yard two doors
away. AT any rate he investigated
this second room and then stole aronud
to the front of the house, looked
through the front window and seeing
Captain Oleson IS unoccupied bed d.
rectly next to~the window, took the
key from the outside of the door. where
it had been left and used it to hold
the screen up.
He then climbed over the bed and
passed into the kitchen in the rear.
Here he sat down to the table and ate
the shrimp curry and rice and the fruit
that had been prepared for Captain
Oleson, according to custom. After
leisurely disposing of his meal he
searched around and found McGrath g
coat and trousers. He took half pad
of writing paper and kept McGrath's
fountain pen but took the pencils out
of his pocket and laid them on the
table. McGrath starts work tomorrow
on the census and had number of
| census papers in his pocket, but the
thief took these out together with some
private papers and laid them aside
| Then he took spread, blanket. some
| bread and butter, a box of candy and
a floss pillow and with these and the
| clothes made his departure by the way
he entered.
He left the candy sticking to the
fence and the floss from the pillow
marked his trail to the back yard.
There he broke the fence getting down
into the stream and left behind in a
neighbor' yard brace and bit which
has been taken by McGrath by way
of exchange. He can have it by calling.
Clue Not Accepted.
When this was reported to Chief Nc.
Duflie he was unable to go out on the
case at once and did not do so later.
There is nothing to indicate that it was
Grace, but McGrath is morally certain
that it is The stream leads down the
valley and offers innumerable hiding
places. He worked with Grace at Lei
lehua, and if the unwelcome visitor was
the negro, Grace visited an old friend
unwittingly.
When McDufiie got back from the
Chiyo Maru, he and Jarrett at once
went to Pearl City where they had been
told Grace s dog had been found. The
dog was arrested at once and put in the
machine together with some clothes OF
Grace 3 that had been taken from his
trunk in his old bunk and the party
consisting of McDutiie, jarrett and De
teetiye Kellett sped back TO Honolulu

Wright reported 20 the police BIZ 4
