Two With Elwell at Ritz
Re-examined in Inquiry


told to wait, and the man and woman
entered the house without paying their
bill. They were admitted by some one
on the inside. The street was deserted
Several minutes later he heard
woman scream. He blew his police
whistle No one responded and he
drove off.
Elwell and Girl In Taxi
Wagstaff told this story in garage
at 2o5 West End Avenue. Other chauf-
feurs in nearby garages seemed to
know all about it.
WagstafF said he drove Elwell and
woman on Monday afternoon of the
week of the murder.
Mrs. Larsen has said that following
luncheon with woman on Tuesday
Elwell left with the woman in taxi.
The trip is presumably the one Wag-
staff refers to. The records of the
company show that it was Monday
and not Tuesday. He said that he
drove them from about 2:30 to 4:10
in the afternoon. The woman got out
at sos Madison Avenue. which is
store. Elwell got out somewhere in
the vicinity of Park Avenue and Sixty
sixth Street He was not sure. The
bill was S3.lO.
Further conversation with Wagstaff
was ended by the appearance Of two
detectives. AS soon as they learned
he was discussing the circum stances
Of the murder, they drew him to one
side
Ii was learned that John Bowman. the
sen. at one time possessed key to the
house, has police record, and that he
had had dispute with Elwell. He has
been arrested three times. and has
suit pending against Inspector Henry
and Policemen Gunson and Maloney. in
which he seeks $4,000 for alleged false
arrest.
Another person who was questioned
yesterday was George Gernannt, a me-
chanic, who was passing the Elwell
house on the morning the murder was
discovered.
House Attracts Attention
Assistant District Attorney Joyce
spent good part of the day in Ell
wells house, which is now the object
Of much attention. Motorists drive
through the block just to look at it.
Pedestrians gaze at it and stand and
point Detectives come and go.
F. Clifford Potter, president Of the
Studio Club. of which Flwell was
3 member. hurried into the house yester-
day, and after about fifteen minutes
hurried out again and into taxicab
holding q handkerchief over his face
to foil photographers.
MIR. Joyce had asked him. as an old
friend OF Elwell's. TO visit Mr. Swann's
Office to-day to tell what he knew Of
the dead man
The sign which stuck out above the
door proclaiming the house to be for
sale or for rent was taken in yester-
day.
The police and the District Attor-
neys office have suddenly become very
reluctant to give out any further in
formation concerning the possibility
Of there having been woman in the
house on the morning of the murder,
as intimated in the statement by Mrs.
Larsen that she tidied up Elwell's
bedroom shortly after he was removed
! to the hospital. Mr.. Swami declared
(, that confirmation of this fact would
, be useful only as furnishing a possible
: motive for the crime.
Won Schlegell was in the District
: Attorneys Office from II a. m. until
. p. m, and emerged from the examina-
ton room with an appearance Of veari-
