Increas ed activities today in the nation-wide hunt fur Kloisi' Nclms Dennis and Beat-1, rice Nclni, following recent startling; disclosures in the probe of Texas clews, brought more interesting developments in both the Portland and San Antonio) ends of the great nijsn-ry. Investigation in Portland revealed the fact that Victor Inms,, the PortlandT lawyer involved in ti e mystery through the wild infatuation of .Mrs. Dennis, has shipped all of his household goods and personal belongings away from that city to parts unknown. Innes and his wife have been missing from Port land for more than a week, ami it is now believed there that they will not return. A dispatch states that no tract of either can be found. Efforts to Irace the shipment of fif- nes household goods proved equally futile. House For Rent, limes' Portland house, it was found, las been listed fur rent. The tete phone was the only thing left in the house. Innes' water rent, due the city, was left unpaid, and the pre miums on his insurance policies also were found unpaid. Evidences of his departure indicated that he has bid- den Portland good-bye. "Inne ' relitives kmw nothing what- ever ,of his whereabouts or his affairs. and appeared to care nothing. The Portland police, it was an nounced, have no warrant or order of my kind for the arrest of the missing . lawyer. Mrs. Nelms was greatly pertrubeoV over the news that Innes and his wife had vanished, as she had been firm in her conviction that hj can solve the mystery of her daughters, and has in sistently pleaded for his arrest. The conviction in San Antonio that the missing Nelms girls were mur dered in that city has stirred the of ficials, and the San Antonio Sheriff's office took up the investigation and is assisting special agent Barnns of the United States Department of Justice, and Marshall Nelms, brother of the girls. Startling New Evidence. The investigation centered on the , discovery that a large -auldron, con taining a suspicious sediment, had been given to a neighbor boy by the occu pants of the house at No. 120 Wilkin street, occupied by Innes and his wife from June 1 to June 28. This cauldron was turned over to an examining chem ist, who has subjected the sediment to a chemical analysis to ascertain whether human bones or flesh were devroyed --i in the cauldron by means of lime or acids. Reports that a large trunk, answer- i;. ing the description of the trunk sent away from the W'iikins street housanl by lnn?s, is uncaim -d in an El Pasa ...-f hotel, also were being vigorously in-" , . . . . t .
