Murder Not
YetFully
Explained
Marion Co. Officers
Continue Search for
Evidence In Wurtz-
barger Case
Gone. but not forgotten!

IO1lG, pAl hOt hOA bONeNhs
That is the way in which Mar
ion county officials view the case
against Mrs. Alma Louis Wurtz-
barger, confessed murderess OF her
husband at Chemawa last Sunday.
who was yesterday taken 10 Port
land by Deputy United States Mar
shal Mann, on a federal warrant
charging murder.
When the officials say gone
they mean Mrs. Wurtzbarger has
been removed from their jurisdic-
tion, the mot forgotten clause
indicates that. they have not yet
given up the search for evidence
which will clear up the one re-
naming question incident to the
murder
why did she do It."
Escape Was Easy.
Marion county officials are not
yet satisfied that Wurtzbarger was
killed while he slept simply be-
cause Mrs. Wurtzbarger feared for
her own life.
why, If she feared her husband
was going to kill her. did Mrs
Wurtzbarger not flee from the
house when she went down stairs
to get the hammer with which she
beat her victim to death?" asked
one Marion county official this
morning. "She says she went
down stairs and secured the ham
mer while he was asleep. Why did
she not then leave the house and
go to the nearby home of the su-
perintendent of the Indian school
and ask protection %
Officers Still Working.
Local officials want to know
this because they are still at work
on the case. aiding the federal Of
ficials in the collection OF evi-
dence, and because there is a still
possibility that the case may re-
TO the state courts.
Temporarily the problem OF
whether the state or federal courts
have Jurisdiction over crime COM
mitted on the Indian school cam
pus has been settled, the federal
district attorney having assumed
Jurisdiction in the absence Of par
allel cases upon which to base a
decision as to where the case
should be tried.
Gallagher's Part Unknown.
The decision which will finally
determine the question Of jurisdic-
tion will be made when Mrs.
Wurtzbarger comes TO trial in the
federal court. At that time. Roy
Shields. attorney for Mrs. Wurtz-
barger. has announced he will pre-
sent a demurrer 20 the action OF
the authorities IN taking the case
into the federal court. with the
aim OF getting a ruling on the
question OF jurisdiction.
The relations OF Mrs. Wurtz-
barger and Charles L. Gallagher.
former convict. and their bearing
on the alleged Jealousy Of Wurtz-
barger Is another topic upon which
the prosecution desires additional
light Il is not at all satisfied
with the story OF Mrs. Wurtzbar-
ger that Gallagher was nothing TO
her. and that she had asked him
TO cease his attentions after she
married Wurtzbarger.

Mcneil Island, Wash, Sept. ~
Roy Gardner, escaped bandit,
was positively seen on the island
last night, Warden Thomas Ma
loney of the federal prison learned
today.
A skulking figure was seen by
guards sneaking across a road
shortly before midnight. He dis
appeared quickly into the heavy
brush. 1t is regarded as absolute

A short time before the man
was seen a chicken was heard to
give a last despairing squawk IN
the same vicinity.
Certain 1t Was Gardner.
These two definite reports, add
ed to the earlier announcement
that sounds of - trampling were
heard in the brush, have led to
the belief that Gardner made a
trip last night to the north side
Of the island from the western
tastness where 1t is believed he
has been hiding by day since his
spectacular dash for freedom last
Monday.
