Suicide Clears
Up Mystery Of
Double Murder

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 24.-Police
today believed that with the dis
covery yesterday of the body of
Bert Wilson, alias Charles w. Reed
a crippled junk peddler, the mys-
ttery of the murder of James F.
Olson, a retired rancher, near here
six years ago, has been solved. They
expressed the belief that WILSON,,
identified by Tom sherman as the
man who on Wednesday, inyeigied
him to the outsirts of the city and
shot him through the head, was OIL
sons slayer.
Wilson's body was found in the
home of an acquaintance shot
through the head and with %
calibre revolver in the hand. Police
officers had been seeking him all
day yesterday. Sherman was shot
he had told the officers, with gun
of like calibre, and Olson's slayer
had used a bullet of the same size.
The police expressed the belief
that both Olson and Sherman were
decoyed to olnely spots and shot for
their money. Sherman grappled
with his assailant and disarmed
him. Although the bullet was still
in his head, he was not confined to
his bed today.
