they were unit last night In saying
that his death could be safely attrib-
uted to the enemies he had made while
employed as an officer.
Blinn was widely known throughout
jefferson county. possibly the best
known dry agent in the district. since
he was a fireman for ten years pre-
vious to his Joining the prohibition
squad.
He was employed by Mayor Frank
Mccullough and worked out\ Of Rich

McConnville block in Steubenville and
employed a force Of eight men.
Blinn worked on what Is known as

not paid a salary. but was compen-

offenders he rounded up.
This Sytem is said TO have made
the unit under his supervision unusu-

mounting of the number OF enmities
he might incur.

Not more than twenty feet from where
the body was discovered the police
picked up his pocketbook. which had

the police were inclined TO be skeptical
Of the belief. veering to the attitude
that It had been planted" to create the

The fact that nobody has been FOUND
who heard the shots fired has tended TO
strengthen the police version that Bl!nn
was killed at some point other than
where his body was found and taken t.

In support OF this theory they point
TO the powder marks on his clothes and
that. despite the proximity to the main
thoroughfare OF the city. no one heard
the shots fired.
That lJl!nn was shot in the foreign
