Woman Slayer May Be Hanged
In One State, Merely In
prisoned in Neighbor.

PAwCATUCK, Conn, June 15.-The
distance between the Connecticut and
Rhode Island banks Of the narrow
Pawcatuok river may mean the dis
tance between life and death for Mrs.
Mabel Kenyon, held for the killing
Of DR.. Herbert Tetlow.
Death by hanging is the penalty
for first degree murder in this state.
Life imprisonment is the heaviest SEN
tence that can be imposed in Rhode
Island.
The village of Pawcatuck, where
Mrs. Kenyon confesses she killed the
middle-aged physician because his
love for her was waning, is, for all
practical purposes, a part of Wester-
ly, r. J.. although geographically a
suburb OF Stonington, this State. The
state line is at the bridge.
Mrs. Kenyon is still confined in
New London county jail awtiting the
coming of a corps of alienists who
will pass upon her sanity. She is
being closely watched to prevent any
attempt at suicide.
II was apparent today that emo
tional insanity would be the basis OF
q defense when the accused woman
Ia brought to trial. Her counsel will
try to prove that fellows indiffer-
ence to her after a nve-year love
sfrair, during which a child was born
to them. upset her mind and made
her irresponsible. Neighbors tell OF
seeing the woman prowling about
grayeyards and otherwise acting ir-
nationally before the shooting.

NEW YORK, 15.--Inquiries in

that Brand Whitlock. former Ameri-

Carrie Chapman Gait for Vice Presi-

national organizer. at the single tax
headquarters.
Another ticket which Is receiving
wide support Mr.. Robinson said. is
headed by Surg. Gen. william c.
Gorgas, with Mark Pagan. former
mayor OF Jersey City, for his running
mate. The nominations are to be de-
cided at the national convention OF
single takers, to be held at Chicago
July 10, 12. and 13.
Mr.. Robinson was hopeful today
that the committee of forty-eight.
which also Is to hold a convention in
Chicago at the same time. would
throw in it's lot with the single takers
and that the two would form a third
party with "the single tax" as the
dominating issue in the campaign.
I'VE expect to receive the support
OF those who are disappointed at the
conservative and reactionary stand OF
both OF the old parties" said Mr.. Rob
inson. "Our platform will be radical,
but In accordance with American
ideals and institutions. The evils OF
profiteering and the high cost OF liv-
ing can best be dealt with through
the adoption OF the single tax pro-
gram advocated by Henry George"

LINGERIE ADDS TO MYSTERY
Owner Of FiImy Pink Garment,
Found in Turfman's Home,
Known to Police.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Investi-
CATION by the authorities today per-
ceptibly narrowed the radius of the
search for the mysterious slayer Of
Joseph Bovine ("Bob") Elwell, noted
bridge expert, turfman and darling
Of fast social sets in this country
and abroad.
Principal Developments in New
York's most fascinating murder mys-
terry in years were:
The mystery period" In Elwelrs
last hours of life was bridged by the
discovery OF witness who saw the
turfman hail a taxicab in front OF

had luncheon with Elwell in the
West Seventeen street house day
or two after his return from Ken

The search for the owner OF thi.
garment was started after the dis
closure to the police by Marie Larsen
Elwelrs housekeeper, that such q
garment had been worn by youns
woman visitor on recent occasions.
The filmy negligee is Of pink sill

impulses was being developed
! cannot pause to enter into what
started this new move of sex mys-
teries, whether it was the news
papers, magazines, novels. or the
plays or the pictures, probably all
of them. At any rate Craig Ken
nedy believes the tendency toward
crimes inspired by sex is so para
mount that he has ceased telling
his stories to Walter Johnson to
write for magazines and books and
has gone into the production of a
new series Of sex mystery motion
pictures, believing that only
through the compelling medium of
the screen can he arouse America
to the alarming nature Of this new
criminal instinct.
Every vice is now legislated
against, with the result that hu-
manity reacts against restraint and
welcomes the old vices in new forms
more intoxicating than ever.
RESTRAINT BROKEN DOWN.
Added to that comes the new free
dom of women, with 8 breaking
down of social and sexual restraint.
Here we have the ingredients that
make the Elwell murder one that
must prove historic among great
criminal cases.
Elwell was playing the most dan
gerous of the new criminal games
the woman game-the chase for
women.
Added to this is the complicating
fact that Elwell was noted turf
man. and his name was synony-
nous with bridge.
/ Games of chance were the breath
of life to Elwell, and the greatest
game of all was the woman game.
Complicate that with gambling as
society sees it in its most attrac-
tive form, and you have a situation
big enough to motivate not only
the Elwell case but a whole series
of dramas.
OF course, the first thing scien'
tific detective like Craig Kennedy
would do would be to reconstruct
