EZweN Attracted Pretty Woman
By Using *IDon't Care" Manner.
District Attorney Obtains Glove
Pension" List Containing
Names of Many He Paid.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The method
by which Joseph b. Elwell, murdered
turfman and whist expert, attracted
the attention of beautiful women who
struck his fancy Is revealed today by
Chief Assistant District Attorney
Talley.
ElweiI, according TO information
gathered by Mr.. Talley, used the In
direct method OF attracting women,
praising the one he sought to others,
but piauing her by apparent lack of
personal notice until she frequently
was impelled to first advances herself.
Mr.. Talley said he had questioned
Elwell's horse trainer as to the meth :
DDS the turfman used in his conauests.
and that the trainer told him he had
never observed Elwell making any
advances to any woman. From an
other source. Mr.. Talley said, he had
learned that when Elwell was attract
ed by any particular beauty at n re-
sort at which he was a guest he
would make a point to conflde to other
women how beautiful he considered
the one who had attracted hisNeye.
II did not take long for these COM
pliments to find their way back to the
ears for which they were originally
Intended. Still Elwell would make no
direct advance, and this would pidue
the interest OF the woman in question.
Mr.. Talley said II frequently resulted
In the woman herself seeking an in

the position of advantage for which
he had Unanswered.

OF the case, came into possession OF

ADMITS He KILLED
WIFE ANDSTRANGER

CHICAGO, July Carl Wanderer,
former army lieutenant, after being
trapped in a maze of conflicting state
ments IN connection with the staying
OF his wife and an unidentified man
in the vestibule of the Wanderer
home June 81, confessed today that
he had carried both automatic pistols
used in the shooting-his own, which
he used to kill the unidentified
stranger, and the one found beside
the body of the latter.
In this, the thirteenth version of
the tragedy given by wanderer, he
declared that the slain man had
grabbed one of the pistols from him
and started the shooting, killing Mrs.
Wanderer. Then, he said, he used the
other pistol in fighting n duel which
resulted in the killing of his wife's
murderer.
wanderer said further that the pis-
tol found beside the dead man be-
longed to his cousin, Fred Hoffman,
and that he had borrowed IL to make
repairs on the weapon. The police
believe that wanderer has only par
TALLY told the truth about the double
Staying.
Detectives working on the case to-
day learned that Mrs. wanderer had
drawn 1890 from their Joint savings
account in a local bank two days be-
fore she was slain.
Her husband declares that Mrs.
wanderer intended to transfer the
money to another bank. In view OF
the fact that this made necessary the
sacrifice of six months interest on
the money, the police doubt this

proposition that Lenine's govern
