dered her husband:
THE person who murdered Mr..
Elweil was intimately acquainted with
him, The reason l feel this to be
true is that my husband was very
affected and was always striving 10
impress others. He had two natures,
one for his acquaintances and the
other for his intimates. He must have
made enemies. for he has always in
volved himself with other women. He
most certainly would never have re-
ceived an acquaintance in the attire
In which he was found dead.
"A newspaper man Informed me
that Mr.. EQwell's turf friends had
made remarks about how seldom he
was seen with women. l can very
easily understand that He never
permitted women to interfere with
business, and his business was gam
bling. 1t is quite possible he led d
life which was apart from the life he
led with his sporting friends. Few
people knew him well and am
afraid that those fow who did were
led into that friendship to their cost.
