NEW YORK, June 1.-THE name
by which the dark, short young
woman" now known as the pink
pajama girl" who called at the home
of Joseph Bovine Elwell last Friday
morning, Immediately after his body
was found, became known for the
first time today.
1t was "Miss Wilson"
That is the name by which the
woman was known to Marie Larsen
and Edwin Rhodes. housekeeper and
chauffeur for Elwell. She is said 10
be the owner OF the pink night dress.
boudoir cap and slippers found in the
Elwell house. She was frequent
visitor there.
REAL NAME KNOWN.
Miss Wilson's" real name is known
to District Attorney Swami and his
assistants who have been aiding in
the efforts to solve the. mysterious
death OF the sportsman. District At
torney Swami said last night:
I'VE know who Miss Wilson is
and can get her at any time We wish.
We know where she lives and until
such time as our investigation leads
US to believe she has had anything
to do with this crime or supplied the
motive her identity will not be made
known. The young lady was indis.
Greet and has undoubtedly suffered
enough for indiscretion.
Eight days have elapsed since Ell
well was shot to death, but District
Attorney Swami admitted today that
the Investigators are as far from
solving the crime as they were on the
day 1t was committed.
Assistant District Attorney Joyce
actively in charge of the detectives
on the case, said he believed that sew
eral persons knew the identity OF the
slayer, but were keeping secret to
shield a woman.
"FIND MAN WITH KEY
Find the man with a key to Ell
wells home" was the chief clue upon
which the investigators were at work
today. 1t had previously been ad-
mitted that three of Elwell's women
friends possessed keys to his home.
but the authorities are convinced that
the killing was done by a man.
William Barnes, the murdered mans
private secretary. who is giving the
police and district attorneys stan all
possible aid, said he was convinced
that the slayer had obtained a dupli-
cate key to the Elwell home and had
rNmained In hiding until the turfman
entered and had prepared for bed.
Then he made his presence known.
Barnes said that EfweH was ex-
tremely sensitive OF his false teeth
and hair and did not allow even his
most intimate friends to know he
wore them. Both had been removed
when ElweiI was shot.
II was reported that Elwelrs own
key was missing after the shooting.

volved in scandal"
District Attorney Swami interpo-
lated that II was the act OF one young
woman to protect another member OF
her sex. Mrs. Larsen said no one was
present when she took the box DOWN
stairs. She was then asked:
