The Coroner believes Hochbrun had been dead two months. Police immediately commenced a' search for Clara Sharin Winborn. She was knownrto have visited the | Hochbrun apartments two or three. times a week over a pertod of weeks prior to the last time Hoch- brun was known to have been seen. She left Seattle Nov. 28, almost-a month before the body was found. Motive of Murder a Mystery. The police have been unable to | of Hochbrun. In a locked trunk in Hochbrun’s room, detectives found 31960 in currency. No attempt had been made to open the trunk. The man’s trousers pockets had been cut out and only a few pennies wgre left. Hochbrun was known to be of a jealous disposition and violent tem- per and to have resented the atten- tions his ward received from others, according to*the police. Clara Sharin was the daughter of Philip and Emma Sharin of Seattle. The father died in 1904. The mother accepted. a position as housekeeper for Hochbrun. Her daughter, Clara Elizabeth, was educated, clothed and cared for by Nochbrun, Woman’s Mother Murdered. In August, 1908, Mrs. Clara Win- ‘born, wife of Robert Winborn of Se- attle, shot and killed Mrs. Sharin, wounded her daughter slightly and then took her. own life. Mrs.’ Win- born asserted Mrs. Sharin had be- come infatuated with her husband. Subsequently, Clara Sharin went to/| Kalamazoo, Mich., to help nurse | Robert Winborn, who died in 1920, after a six months’ illness. The young woman told friends she married Winborn on his deathbed. She has used the name of’ Clara Elizabeth Winborn since. After Winborn’s death she came baek to Seattle and became § house- keeper for Hochbrun. Hochbrun’s estate, valued. at more than $100,000, is now in litigation. CONDITION OF CADDY 1S SERIOUS Boy Struck by Ball on Forest Park Golf Course.

The league, in addition, obtained from Todd six warrants charging as ‘individuals with gambling. Several of these were for men un- derstood to be employed by Foley, but who were not found in the raid there. Leaders of the Clean Elections League are elated over the results of raids tonducted Saturday night on the gambling establishment of Foley and at Suburban Garden, at the end of the Hodiamont car '§ line. About 80 Men Found in Places. About 80° men, many of them 8t. Louis police characters, gangsters, and known gamblers, were found in the two places. In the establish- ment at Suburban Garden, which, the police say, is conducted by Jesse was arrested there, two expensive roulette wheels, thou- sands ‘of chips, felt-covered tables for dice games, signs indicating that the game of “21” was played, and other paraphernalia was found. The raiders found at Foley’s a heavy iron safe, 56 feet high and bearing the inscription ‘Pilgrim Football Association,’’ Elaborate protective arrangements were installed at both places. The protective system at Rubeling’s was perhaps the most. elaborate, and op- erated about as follows: No Lights Seen From Outside. The game was in the main room of a one-story building on the north side of the car loop. From the out- side no lights could be seen, and be- fore the raid was. effected, lookouts were observed’ patroling the build-~- ing. It was found that the windows were boarded over, light betng sup- plied by numerous high-powered in- candescents, and some degree of freshness maintained in the air by electric fans and ventilators. The single door in use was heavily bolted. and had a pe®phole covered with green cloth. The raiders got through that all right and found themselves in a bare anteroom with another bolted door, with another peephole, before them. With pinchbars they broke that open and rushed into & lunchroom, in a corger of which was a partition with another bolted door; and additional places for an inside lookout man to observe new- comers. This lookout man sat be- side three electric switches, one operating a loud buzzer, one a white light in the main gambiing room, and the third a red Tight there.
