1; NEW HAVEN. Conn, Jan. 5.-Allan Maxcy Hitler. brother-in-law of Charles A. Edwards, the New York man who was shot to death in mysterious man. ner here while at the home of Charles A. Hitler, another brother-in-law, at IF College street, has been ordered placed in the lookup at police headquarters for safe keeping by Coroner Mix. Later the coroner explained that MT. Hitler was simply held without bail, as the inquest is not completed.
 The detention of Mir. Hitler at this stage of the inquiry into the mysterious death of MT. Edwards is climax, al- though more startling developments may be forthcoming. A. Maxcy Hitler Is one of New Haven's best known men and is connected by blood and mar riage ties with many of the aristocratic families of Connecticut. The violent death of Mir. Edwards. who married Mir. Hiller's only sister. also comes equally close to families which are in- timately connected with the upbuilding of Yale university.
 It was determined by the autopsy that Mir. Edwards died from a bullet wound which could not have been self inflicted It was found that not only was there bitter disa agreement be- tween the Killers and Mrs. Edwards over the distribution of the estate of Mrs. Abigail Hitler. but that MT. Ed wards had repeatedly told friends that he expected to- die by violence. The singular feature is that the weapon used against Mir Edwards cannot be found.
 A suggestion of financial losses as a motive for suicide was made by A. Maxcy Hitler during an interview. He said: T am sure I don't see what could have become of the weapon if a weapon was really used. I know there was a tanele in the affairs of the Pas saic company. for I lost s2.OO0 in it.
 Mir. Hitler seemed positive that Ed wards death was due either to apo plexy or to suicide. As to the bullet hole which extends through the lobe of the ear into the head, he said that in all likelihood the stroke of apoplexy had caused a boil 10 break and that this gave the appearance of bullet wound. Later when Dr. B. H. Cheney. who probed the wound when the body was discovered. was asked about the boil theory he said it was not worthy of consideration.
 Three persons only are said to have had keys 10 inc Hiller homestead-Mrs. Edwards. \. Maxcy Hitler and Charles A. Hitler.
 In discussing the possibility that mur- der was committed 4. Maxcy Hitler said the back door of the house was found open. and if was quite possible that the murderer might have come that way. His brothers rock. he said. was very careless snd might have left the door open Mir. Hilier said he him self went home about : o'clock Tuesday evening and remained until nearly ID o'clock the next morning. when he went to court His wife and family. he said. could certify to the correctness of that statement
