LEXINGTON SOCIETY
BELLIES STORY

LEXINGTON, ny, June 1S-On che
arrival here of Harry Oswald, New York
detective, southern chivalry in the per-
son Of Attorney Wallace Muir has seen
fit to issue a more complete statement
regarding the association of "Anne of
Lexington" with Joseph B. Elwell, the
bridge expert, found dying last Friday
IN his New York home.
Mr.. Muir has even gone so far as to
reveal the full name and status Of
"Anne," who has heretofore been known
as a pretty little stenographer," whose
note OF thanks for flowers having been
found among Elwells effects in New
York has sent Oswald out here, but, ac-
cording to Muir and the fashionable set.
he has nothing to find except a very dis
mayed young lady, Miss Anne Russell
Gritty, one of Kentuckys most beautiful
and popular bellies. whose association
with Elwell was only slight.
Miss Gritty lives at Versailles fourteen
miles from here, and is a niece of Edward
A. Upton president of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders association,
: 1t was not until Miss Gritty heard OF
the murder sthat she informed her folks
that she had met the New Yorker.
She gives positive assurance that her
parents never knew Elwell or knew OF
her slight acquaintance with him.
Il was introduced TO Mr.. EIwell at a
social function during the races at Lex
ington last spring" said Miss Griry's
statement given out by Attorney Muir.
~ last saw Mr.. Elwell in Lexington on
the night OF May ., He had come that
evening, he said, from Louisville by train
Il had been TO a lawn fete with a
number of friends and came upon Mr.
Elwell In the lobby OF the Phoenix hotel.
1t was during that conversation that l
Informed him that ! was going 10 the
hospital the following day to undergo an
operation on my tonsils.
while l was In the hospital he sent
me flowers. My sister wrote a note OF
appreciation for the flowers and sent IL
TO his New York address, which had ac-
companied the flowers.
When | was we'll enough ! wrote per-
sonalIy, thanking him for the flowers
and his kind note | received IN response
the day after his death. The correspond

terest IN Won Schlegell, who appeared at
the district attorneys office smartly
dressed. He was questioned continuously
by District Attorney Doehng and then
went to his apartment, at % East Sixty
second street
Won Schlegell answered all questions
frankly and freely, according to his in
terogators, volunteering the statement that
he had a pistol at his apartment, but
saying that he had never discharged
it. This fact was already known to de-
tectives who had searched his apartment
before his return from Atlantic City on
Monday night from the trip on which he
had started Friday morning a short
time after Elwelps death was discovered.
The statement eliminates Miss Gritty
from the mystery of Elwelrs death, also
her father, who runs a ferry line on the
Kentucky river, and her brother, both
of whom have not been out Of the county
for some time.

Mr.. Perkins was reputed to be multi

He received only a common school edu-

maturity had started out to fight his
way up in the business world.
| Mr.. Perkins was a great admirer Of
the late Theodore, Roosevelt. and in 1912,
| when the republican party split, the
hnancier became one Of the chief hackers
OF Col. Roosevelt on the progressive
ticket.
| Mr.. Perkins was justly proud OF his
rise in life from humble circumstances.
| On one occasion he gave the following
| advice to American boys:
/ There is always room for boys who
are ambitious and not afraid of hard
work. Rarely are high positions filled

THIRD PARTY MOVE
WAITS ON DEMOCRATS

CHICAGO. June 1s.-Success Of a third
party will depend on the democratic ma
tiOnal convention, according to bull
moOsers of 1912, with whom promoters Of
the proposed third party are flirting.
Though invited TO Join a third party
movement, the ex-progressives are hold
ing off until they see what the demo
Gratis do.
Experienced with the 1912 attempt to
put over a third party ticket, headed by
Theodore Roosevelt, the ex-buH moosers
are shy about another insurgent move
unless they have a reasonable chance OF
winning.
Such former progressives as Jane Ad-
dams. Harold Ickes, Kellogg Fairbanks
and Raymond Robins, prominent in 1912,
have been invited to join the COMMITTEES
of forty eight, but so far have refrained
from committing themselves.
They expect to reply to the invitation
directly after the democrats meet.

1t was common talk after the verdict
was returned finding the five defendants
standing trial guilty that the powerful
denunciation of YanNuys against the Ave
probably sealed the fate of Schmitt and
the four others.
Judge Anderson began reading his in
structions at 4 80 O'Clock yesterday after
noon and carefully instructed the jury as
to the law governing conspiracy.
At the close Of Judge Anderson's in
structions Attorney Milton Mangus, one
Of Chief Schmitt's attorneys, took excep-
lions to the courts instructions, thereby
indicating that Schmitt and probably Os-
senberg would appeal if an adverse ver-
diet was rendered
