ing Of his murder.
"Miss Wilson, Telephoncd
This person, he said, was "Miss Will
son." whose pink silk night robe, bou-
doir cap and slippers were found in
Elwell's house and taken to the cellar
by Mrs. Larsen to "save lady's repu-
taticn." Her real name is known to
the District Attorney. but has never
been made public. Mrs. Larsen says
she was clark, slim girl who called
at Elwell's house occasionally at 10
ward Rhodes, Elwell's chauffeur, says
he frequently drove about with the
turfman in his car.
few days after Elwell's death
"Miss Wilson" admitted to Assistant
District Attorney Dooling that she had
been in communication with Elwell at
his home at the hour indicated. The
knowledge that it was she was not
given out to the public until yesterday.
Mr.. Swami says that according to
Miss Wilson," Elwell did not appear
nervous or excited at the time and
seemed to have been in normal mood.
Mr.. Swami added that what Miss
Wilson" said to Elwell and his replies
amounted to nothing and were not
material to the case"
PERSONALLY" said Mr.. Swami, 81
have never met the lady, but l know
that she has told all about the CONVEX
sation to Mr.. Dooling. 1t was of no
consequence, except that it establishes
the fact that he was in his home at
about 1880 o'clock on that morning and
did no tappear to be worried about
anything"
William H. Pendleton, Elwell's former
racln gpartner and a warm friend of
the slain man, who has been interro-
gated several times by the authorities,
again visited District Attorney Swanns
office yesterday. He was accompanied
by his attorney, Nelson Olcott. of the
firm of Olcott, Bonynge, McManus &.
Ernst, ITO Broadway.
No Suspect, Says Swami
Mr.. Olcott declared that in view of
certain insinuating stories that have
appeared in the newspapers he was re-
tanned by Mr.. Pendleton to take care
of his interests and to place MIN at
the disposal of District Attorney
Swami. A lengthy conference was held
with Mr.. Swami, and several of his
assistants, at the conclusion of which
the District Attorney gave out state
ment, denying there was any Suspect"
in the Elwef murder case.
The statement reads:
81 was amazed to read in Saturday S
and Sundays papers their erroneous
statements in regard to the Elwell
case, and in fairness to the public
they are entitled to have thse erroe-
neous statements corrected.
There is no suspect in the Elwell
murder case. This statement in the
newspapers is a grave injustice to the
man referred to by them, against whom
we have obtained no legal evidence to
Justify the publication.
"In connection with the creation of
suspect the further statement is
published that 1T has been intimated
that an arrest is likely in the near
future
There is no legal evidence that would
justify an arrest in this case, or even
the. detention Of any person as ma
terial witness at this time. Such state
ments may make interesting newspaper
copy, but they are contrary to the fact
and misleading to the reading public"
