NO KNOWN MOTIVE
FOR D|LW0RIH MURDER
Against Lawyer When He Sent
Fathers Murderer to Pcnitentiary.

New York. Sept. b.--All the elab-
crate machinery Of the detective bu-
reau failed today to establish even a
motive for the murder Of Dwight P.
Dilworth. in Van Courtiandt Park.
Forty-eight hours after the muir
der the police were no nearer the
solution of its mystery than when
first confronted by the body.
The police are by no means sure
that the intent Of the assailants was
robbery. Nothing was taken from the
body of the victim, though 1t lay in a
secluded section Of the park with only
a woman nearby.
The blackmail theory asserts itself
constantly, for 1t Is known that gangs
Of young toughs have been haunting
the park in the hope of extorting
money from so-called joyriders. They
have been particularly successful in
that kind Of blackmail and they have
considered the park fertile field Re-
peatedly complaints have been made
to the police, but victims of black
mailing systems have refused to give
their consent to the use OF their names
and no arrests have been made.
Setting aside the theory of robbery
and blackmail there is the back
ground OF tragedy in the Dilworth
family.
Many inclined to the belief that Mr..
Dilworth paid the penalty of his life
for running down the murderer of his
father 1t Is seven years since Cole,
who killed his father with a gun he
purchased in the Dilworth store in
Oklahoma City, was sentenced to
life term. When he was sentenced
threats were heard against the life OF
the Montclair attorney. At the time
little attention was paid to them, for
they are heard in every courtroom.
But Dilworth himself took the
threats quito seriously. He became
morose. Then he changed his mood
completely. living in an eat-drink-and-
be-merry for tomorrow we-die fash
ion. This 1t was that led Mrs. Dn-
worth to seek refuge in her old home
In the West
For years she had not lived with
her husband. When informed Of his
death she refused to come to the flu
neral. but asked that tho Masonic
Lodge of Montclair take charge OF the
funeral arrangements.
Today the services were held and
the body was prepared for shipment
