MAN DENIES THE
MURDERCHARGE
StOIidIy Insists He Knows
Nothing Of James
Crime
STATE ANALYZES
SUPPOSED BLOOD SPOTS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30-Investi.
cation into the murder of Harry James
and his wife at their farm in Easttown
township, Chester county. last Tues
day night, has almost been brought to
a standstill by the demeanor of Jan
Chowinslci. the Polish farm hand now
under arrest on suspicion of having
committed the murders, and Chester
county authorities are rather at a
loss.
Chowinsld was submitted to most
trying ordeal yesterday. but came out
of it unscathed still making his stolid
declaration of innocence.
After his arrest in Chester Thursday
night Chowinsk was taken to West
Chester yesterday morning and sub
mitted to a searching cross-examina--
tion. He was kept almost without
food and had but little sleep Thursday
night. Still protesting his innocence
he was taken to the James farm in an
automobile in the hope that the scene
of the crime and the bodies of tht
victims would wiring from him some
evidence of guilt.
When confronted with the muti-
lated corpses Of Mr.. and Mrs. James
he only shook his head and insisted
that he had not killed them.
Wait For Analysis.
The authorities admit that unless
some evidence connecting Chowinski
with the crime develops, they will
hardly have sufficient grounds for hold
ing him. They are now banking theli
hopes on an analysis Of the supposed
blood spots on the prisoners clothes
and shoes. If these spots turn out
to be human blood the tolls will b,
frightened about Chowinski. but II, az
he says, they are brick dust, or pos.
sibly chicken blood. it will go far to-
ward establishing his innocence OF the
crime
