A WOMAN ENTERS
ELWELL CASE N
NEW YORK CITY

tsv hoRhho JOURNAL sPEciA, LEASED WAX
New York, June 16.-Invcstiga-
ton of the murder of Joseph y
| Elwell, sportsman and whist play
ef, who was shot in his home Fri
day, conferred tonight upon 1.-THE
woman in the case"
In an effort to learn her identity
| Mrs. Marie Larsen, housekeeper fol
| Elwell was taken to the district
attorneys office tonight and was
| questioned closely. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney j. 7. Dooling said
Mrs. Larsen told him she had re-
moved Il negligee, slippers an6
a boudoir cap from Elwelrs room
after she found him with a bullet
/ through his head, and that she had
hidden them in a wash tub in the
cellar.
According to Mr.. Dooling, the
hOusekocper said she did this "to
protect the woman"
He said Mrs. Larsen declared she
knew nothing about the woman eX-
cept that she was about % years
old.
After the examination, the
housekeeper returned to the Elwcll
mousse with Il detective.
Mrs. Larsen said during her
ss-examination that after Ell
well was taken to a hospital she
had fixed UP the room. 1t could
not be learned from any of the dis
trict attorneys assistants tonight
whether Mrs. Larsen meant that
the bed had been slept in, and that
she had made it up before the de-
tectives reached the house.
The police theory is that if the
women who owned the negligec,
slippers and boiudoir cap passed
the night in the house and sue
ceeded in leaving before the muir
der was discovered, she may have
knowledge Of the crime which is
expected to solve the mystery.
Mrs. Larsen described two
young women who she said were
frequent visitors at the Elwell
home, one of whom has been
other girl, who Mrs. Larsen said
was about "a years old, five feet
tall and had dark brown hair,
has not yet been interviewed by
the police, but a search is being
made for her. This young wom-
an, Mrs. Larsen said, usually
called on Elwell about ten O'Clock
in the morning.
Whether Mrs. Larsen is ac-
quainted with the young woman
sought, or the woman whose
lingerie was found in the room,
the police have declined to state.
one of the women. Mrs. Larsen
said, dined with E.wsil II his
home on the Tuesday preceding
his death. She arrived at the
house about noon, and is described
as being "short and fat and
about "a years old.
After conversing with her, Ell
well ordered the housekeeper to
prepare lunch for two.
Asked to tell of Elwell's move
ments in detail from Tuesday on,
she said that on Wednesday af-
ternoon he attended a wedding at
the Hotel Plaza, Thursday she
found him up when she arrived
and he asked her to put away the
coat he had worn at the wedding
in a cedar chest as he would not
need it any more.

Don't Spoil Your Hair
By Washing Ii

When you wash your hair, be
careful what you use. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain
too much alkali, which is very in
furious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store. and few ounces
will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly,
and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides,
It loosens and takes out every par
tlcle OF dust, dirt and dandruff.
