In EllCeLL Death


kept upon the dresser in his bedroom,
lies in the fact the officials have sus-
rected his acquaintance with her pro.
vided the motive for his assassination.
The information that reached the
authorities yesterday regarding Elwell's
movements on the morning Of his death,
while it has not been verified in every
respect. is regarded by them as highly
important. It is. in fact, the first def
mite information that has reached either
the district attorney or the police re-
garding the manner in which Elwell
passed his time after bidding good by
to Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Lewisohn and
other friends in front Of the New Am
sterdam Theatre at about l :45 a. m.
Friday and the time that he was killed
in the reception room of his house at
pa West Seventeen street. which is
known to have been somewhere be-
tween and s a. IN.
More than two hours of this time.
according to stories told to John +.
Joyce. assistant district attorney, and
head of the homicide bureau in the pros
cCutor's Office. was spent by ElIell at
popular cabaret and dancing estab-
lishmcnt at Broadway and Fiftieth
street. He is said to have been in the
company Of two men and one woman.
whose names have been turned over to
the police and who will be questioned as
soon as they can be located.
From this place, it is surmised, FL
we'll went home in the automobile Of
man who presumably had been one Of
the party.
