NEW THEORIES ARE
ADvANCED|N CASE
NEW YORK CROOKS FOLLOWED
EDWARDS TO KILLERS AND
KILLED HIM.
HAD CONVICT PARTNER
Desperate Crook Wished to Make Cap
.itaI Out of Family Quarrel or
Secure Valuable
Papers.

New York January 1S.-The surpris
ing discovery was made yesterday thai
for several months prior to his mys
terious death Charles A. Edwards hat
been associated in business witt
James Henry Langley, alias Doc
Langley, one of the most notorious
ccnfideAce men in the country. Lang
ley is an ex.convict and has been ar
rested many times on charges oI
grand larceny and obtaining money
by false pretence He is under bal
now in connection with charges made
against him last April There is rea
son to believe that he is in an alliance
with band criminals who have of
fees scattered throughout Greater
New York, with branches in other
cities.
1t is known that Langley had OBJ
tanned $3.50 in cash from Edwards on.
ly a short time prior to the latter's
death and that Langley was scheming
to get more SO far as can be learned
Edwards knew nothing of the police
record Of Langley or OF the profes
sional criminals with whom he had
been associated.
Langley is white haired man Of
sixty four years, well educated and a
convincing talker. He conmes of an
excellent New Haven family and in his
early years attended Yale, although h
was not graduated Mr. Edwards
found in him most agreeable com.
panion. He was introduced to seyera
of Langley's friends in the confidence
business, and It is believed they were
planning TO rob him of a considerable
sum of money at the time he same to
his death by violence.
Strong Proofs4of Murder.
In investigating the connection of
Edwards with the criminal band mucn
has been brought to light which viii
prove of vital interest to the New
Haven officials who are inquiring into
the death mystery. Each new fact dis
covered discredits the suicide theory
and makes it almcs ST certain that the
man was deliberately murdered.
Edwards home life was particularly
pleasant. He was moi financially EN-.
barrassed, as has been intimated He
had plenty of ready money, and wa
looking for a chance TO invest it in
some business which would occupy
his mind and return HIM profit. His
only worry was the quarrel with Max
ey Hitler over the estate Of his moth
orin-law.
Doc" Langley admits that Edwards
had told him all about the quarrel over
the estate. He says Edwards told him
he was afraid to go to New Haven be-
cause his life had been threatened by
one Of his relatives Langley admits
that he knew Edwards was to be in
New Haven at the old Hitler home on
the day following New Years It is
known that Langley had made bust
ness trip TO Connecticut a short time
before this.
II has been suggested that some
member of the band of criminals who
had been keeping Edwards i'm view, FOL.
lowed him to New Haven either to
make capital out of his quarrel with
Maxey Hitler, or to get possession Of
valuable papers. which he was be-
lieved TO have In his possession. The
knowledge that Edwards life had been
threatened by a relative would embold.

tremes
