NEW YORK July 2.-"Miss VIII
SON." the young woman whose pink
silk lingerie was found in the home
OF Joseph Bovine Elwell after the
turfman was mysteriously murdered
on June IL. was questioned by District
Attorney Swami again today. This
was the sixth time Miss Wilson" has
been grilled since her admirer was
killed.
The latest woman in the Elwell
case is Mrs. Josephine Lewis Peet
Wilmerding. well known in Newport
and Palm Beach. who was mentioned
in the statement OF Miss Anna Kane,
ElwelPs former housekeeper.

Elwell," Mrs. Wilmerding was quoted
as saying. j knew he had enemies.
He told me so. He said that he made
enemies by his Wall street dealings
and also his activities against enemy
aliens during the war. l know Miss
Wilson, but that is not her real name
/ never knew her to make a threat
against Elwell."
Mrs Wilmerding Is a HANDSOME di-
vorcee. She maintains home here
as well as in Newport and Palm
Beach.
HER REAL NAME WITHHELD.
When District Attorney Swami was
asked If he would disclose the real
name of Miss Wilson," he said:
"All the witnesses we have ex-
amined who have referred to the
young woman, have called her Miss
Wilson and | can see no reason Tor
making her real name known at this
time. If she tells you that her name
is not Miss Wilson that will be her
own affair"
Mr.. Swami was asked il Miss Will
son" was examined so many times in
the belief that she was Withholding
information that would solve the Ell
well murder, he replied

Pendleton, former racing partner ~
Elwell six times; William Barnes, sec
retary to Elwell. eight times on DIFF
ferent angles, and have also exVm-
ined other witnesses on several differ
ent occasions"
Mr.. Swami said that Miss Wilson
! had told him of having some spats'
with Elwell, but none serious enough
! to justify a presumption that she had
| murdered Elwell or caused his MUIR
! der.
| The district attorney said that for
! some time past he has known that
! Miss Kane had been previously en-
/ ployed as housekeeper by EiwelI,
/ but that it was not until the publica- =
tion of story by a New York news
paper yesterday that her present
! whereabouts was learned. Mr.. Swami
would not affirm or deny that he
would send one of is assistants to Ire
land to question Miss Kane.
| WILL MAY FURNISH CLUE.
1t is believed that Miss Kane's in
! formation concerning another Will
| that was made by Elwell will play an
important part in the new inquiry.
The will which has been probated was
dated January 10, 1915. and left every
| thing to Elwell's parents.

said this last will was drawn up by
Attorney Frederick lngraham. who
was reported yesterday TO be out OF

This will, according to Mr.. Whaley,

the importance of the 1916 will now
mentioned by Anna Kane.
ELwELL HAD $4,000.
Mr.. Whaley said recent discoveries
show that Elwell was worth approx
mately $4,000 at the time of his
death. He also said that further in.
