This leads the officers to believe that the fiend followed the paving for some | distance and then either was given a lift in an automobile or struck “off thru the dense woods. The blood- hounds were held in Olympia all Fri- day night in the hope that a fresh trail would be found in the woods. Lack of materials from which the hounds could pick up the scent of the fiend caused considerable delay Friday afternoon, The description of the fiend, as given by Jim Dobson, is: Height about six reet, shoul ders broad, hips rather small, eyes very dark, complexion dark. ‘The man was wearing black or dark brown broad-toed walking shoes, worn blue denim bib over- alls, a blue calico si a dark coat, and a tattere ck felt hat,’ He spoke very plainly but with «a slight foreign accent. His voice was described as soft, yet piercing, His hands were large. This is the story of the terrible as- as. told by Teresa O'Hara, 19, who is now at the home of Jake a neighbor, recovering from k and from a blow on the head which the fiend struck shortly before she escaped from the horror room where she had been held pris- oner nearly three hours: “Jim Dobson and 1 had been to Olympia to a show. He parked his car in front of our store about 10:30 and walked with me up the path to- ward the house, As we turned the corner near the road, a man stepped out from behind a fence post and covered us with a big gun. He made Jim He down on his face and tied his hands behind him with a piece of rope, The man took the rope from his pocket, “Then he made us wal of him past the barn the house. He asked me if there were any men-folks and 1 told him no. He searched the first floor of the house and then sault Emma and mother were in the large room, and Agnes, my older sister, was in the other room, “The man woke them all and made me tear a sheet into strips, Then, with his gun pointed at me, he made me tie them all up. After that he made go into the room with Agnes and he tied me up. He asked for the money and took about $15 from the head of my mother’s bed. A pocketbook containing $40 was on the dresser, but he did not see that. “We pleaded of him to go on away he took the money, but he He made Jim Dob- son le down on the floor near my of King county, early in the; fiend.

It was horrible. He around from one room to the other, threat- ening us and punishing us. I do not know how long he was there, for I lost track. “At last he came into the room where Agnes and I were and hit me lover the head with the butt of the big revolver he carried. He also struck Agnes. Then he went into the other room and beat the others.

I do not know how I got there. It was then about 2:30 in the morning.” The story, told haltingly and tn janswer to questions, came from the quivvering lips of the still terrified and suffering girl as she lay in bed at the Morrow home, | Jim Dohson, 21, tho terribly beaten and wearing a bloody bandage, was assisting the officers Friday in the search. Dobson lives at Oyster Bay, about two miles from the O'Hara home, “Teresa surely showed a lot | of nerve,” he said. ‘If she had when she did, I do not know what would have happened to us. * I think that man would have killed us. “I called him all the names 1 could think of while I was lying on the floor. He had gagged me, but the gag was no good. I begged him to throw away his gun and fight ft out with me, He told me to ‘shut up’. “I do not know how long he was in the house, I heard him hit Ter. jesa over the head with his gun. {Then he came in to me and sald “*You heard what I gave her? Well, now you are going to get the same thing. “He hit me over the left temple and dazed me. Then he hit me over the ear. I guess I was ‘out’ for a little while, be- cause I did not hear him beat the others. I heard him, bow- ever, when he discovered that Teresa was gone. He seemed awfully excited and rushed te the stairs. He missed his foot- ing and fell with a crash, land- ing at the bottom, I do not know If he was hurt, for he got up and ran out of the house, _ “E did not seo his face because of the white handkerchief he wore as a mask just below his eyes. But I would know those eyes and that voice anywhere. T would recognize him if I ever saw him again. “Before he fell down the stairs 2 had come to and was working at the rope that tied my hands, After he left IT called to Agnes and she came and helped me get free. We worked together, she untying me and I untying her. Then I ran out of the house to Charley Whitney's place and called him.” According to the story of the other girls, the fiend, after knock- ing young Dobson unconscious, made a particularly vicious attack on |Emma, tho youngest girl, beating jher time after time with his gun, and then turned his attentions to Mrs, O'Hara and Frances.
