House Dark, Says walters.

As Walters gays that the house was
dark, it is possible that Elwell had not
yet returned home. and that his passen-
ger admitted himself to the house with
the keys which the police later discov-
cred That these keys were not Elwelrs
Is shown by the fact that his keys were
found iE his clothing.
With the announcement of the discov-
cry of these keys the motive behind

Another Theory Exploded.

The theory that a threatening letter
written to Blwcll before his separation
from his wife might be of Importance as
evidence was smashed yesterday. w
Glbbes Whaley Of q William street, at
torney for Mrs. Elwell, told reporters
that a distant cousin OF his, Charles
Whaley, now Of Knoxville. Tenn, had
written letter to Elwell during the
Christmas holidays in 1911 which might
have been misconstrued as threaten
ing" In nature. 1t was In reality only
an expression Of readiness to meet FL
we'll in physical combat. and It had
been provoked by an insult from the
turfman.
Mr.. Whaley explained that his cousin,
like Elwell, had been an expert at bridge
whist, and that he had frequently played
at the Elwell home. Elwell, he said,
became lnsanely Jealous, as he seemed
to be Of number of men who gave him
no provocation whatever. Finally he
hurled an insulting TRADE at Charles
Whaley over the telephone, and then on
Christmas Day, 1911, Elwell wrote
Charles Whaley a letter suggesting that
he meet him at resort where he, Ell
well. was well acquainted, and that they

becomes apparent. This woman, who
was the first person to see the prostrate
form Of Elwell after the departure OF
the murderer, has stated repeatedly to
both police and representatives OF the
District Attorneys Office that there were
only two sets Of Keys to the house, She
held one, she has said. and Elwell held
tho other
1t is understood that II was not
until Wednesday night, when Mrs. Lar.
sen was questioned at her home. that she
learned that The officials had In their
possession a third set of keys, and that
they had been holding them from the
day OF the tragedy. Whether she knew
OF their existence and tried to conceal 1t
as she had tried TO conceal the lingerie
OF one Of ElwelPs women visitors has
rot been made plain by the officials
Capt Carey discussed the case at
Police Headquarters with Capt. Thomas
Walsh of the precinct In which II was
committed, The only comment he would
make was: I'VE are not looking for any
one. All Of the persons that we may
want can be found very easily" Asked II
there was any likelihood OF the hunt
being dropped In event OF failure to
make an arrest shortly he said, I'VE
never drop anything"
II was intimated last night that II
the murder Is placed at the door of the
man on whom attention now seems to
be centred. 1t probably will be found
that the woman motive did not enter
into the crime.
