At the conclusion of the DAYS work
Mr., Swami gave out the follovirs (
statement:
The Elwel murder case still re-
mains mystery, and UP to the present
time battles all efforts TO solve it.
we have not been able 10 obtain
possession of sufficient facts TO Justify
an opinion as to who committed the
murder or the motive that prompted
the murderer to commit the deed
Every clue we have obtained that would
seem to suggest q plausib bic theory Is
being followed up.
NO evidence has been obtained
which would justify the accusing Of any
one. nor has any evidence been OBJ
tanned which would justify the holding
of any person as a material witness.
Some of the papers to-day have
enormously stated that the District
Attorney has formed ar opinion as a
result Of his investigations as to who
committed the crime and the probable
motive for it, but such a statement Is
entirely without foundation"

examined by the District Attorney N.
