was held as a possible suspect for
murder OF his wife and two children
and three members Of the Wayne
neighbors. was released from custody
today. He Is reported 10 be in a crit
ical condition from advanced tuber-
culosis, and cannot live long.
Burnham went TO the home OF his
Bister-ln-law. He will be watched by
the police TO make sure that their
action In releasing him will not prove
a mistake. in the event that they get
some evidence against him.
Police officers are today investigat-
Ing a story told by Helen Young
16, and a companion, whose name is
suppressed The girl says that two
weeks ago she met a man named
John" at a band concert. On Tues
day preceding the murder he told her
that Wayne owed him some money
and he was going to get 1t.
Last Monday night she saw this
man again, and he remarked, well,

The girl asked him who he meant
by I'VE" and he answered "that is
something that you don't need to

The police suspect whom I'VE"
meant. They have witnesses declaE-
ing that a stranger called at the
Wayne home last Saturday and quar-
relied with Wayne. The latter said
IL the intruder did not let him alone
he would expose him.
The theory that Wayne was slain
for revenge because he failed to pay

MOVING PICTURES
TO SHOW AT THE GRAND

Manager Waters, of the Grand
Opera House, has decided to run a
moving picture show in connection
with the theater. With this in view
a moving picture outfit of the latest
type has been installed and begin
ming with Thursday, September 2S, a
moving picture program will be
shown every evening when none of
the regular attractions are on.
Mr. Waters will have his pictures
furnished by the General Film Ex-
change, of Portland, and his service
will be of the best. Music will be
furnished by the regular orchestra,
and a vocalist has been secured for
the opening.
This Is a good move on Mr.. Waters
part as the opera house is the most
comfortable place in town for enter
tainments of all kinds and the doors
should not be closed to the public
so many nights as in time past, but
should be open for the enjoyment of
the Salem theater goers.
Another good feature in Mr.. Wa
ter's plans, is that he will not run
his house Sundays But with the ex-
ception Of Sundays, there will be
something doing at The Grand every
night.
