SUSPECT

PORTLAND, Nov. 22.-Formal
charge of first degree murder
was filed today against George
Bartholomew, alias Edward Hop
kins, alleged companion of the
man whose body was found in
trunk in the Willamette river
last Friday.
That Bartholomew is the mur-
derer is the firm belief of the po-
lice, who are satisfied the two
men spent month together in
the vicinity of Albany and Salem
and came to Portland together.
Police still cling to the theoi y
that the murdered man is John
Linn, of Boston. The murdered
man gave this name in both Sa-
lem and Albany. There are .lues-
lions as to whether this is his
real name.

A bomb consisting of four

wrapped in oiled brown paper,

1t was the road on which
Archbold always drives away

was discovered only a short time
before the Standard Oil president

This official, also, is said by

again renewed suspicion against
him in the smuggling cases.

these questions would come up
before the grand jury.
1t was learned today that the

Early investigation into the
forgeries caused officials to be-

bilked out of $4,000 to $4,000
through the clever manipulations
of the criminals. A close check,
announced today, however,
brought the total down to one
fourth the previous sum.
The state Industrial commits

The official under suspicion was
appointed when the commission
