MYSTERY WOMAN
Is REVEALED.
The mystery woman. featured promi-
as Miss Wilson, Mrs. Larsen revealed to
District Attorney Swami.
81 have later found that was not her
true NAME" Mrs. Larsen added. Swami,
who possesses the real name of the WON
an, said
"To protect the honor Of womanhcod,
we have decided to withhold the girls
real name for the present"
Miss Wilson had been in Elwelrs COM
pany often recently, Mrs. Larsen said.
She was the owner of the lingerie, in
Guiding a night robe, cap and bedroom
slippers found In Elwelrs room, the
housekeeper said. Mrs. Larsen said Miss
Wilson had spent Thursday night with
Elwell, she believed. but was not sure
about Friday, the night of the murder.
After calling the police on finding FL
we'll wounded she went to the bedroom,
Mrs. Larsen said. The lingerie was in
box on a shelf and either had not been
used Friday night or else had been care
fully put away after use. The top COW
ers of the bed were turned back. but
they were not rumpled. One side OF the
bed gave the impression that some one
had been lying down for a short time.
The impression left was not large.
Questioned further, Mrs. Larsen said
Elwell was a heavy man, Weighing only
slightly under 200 pounds, and that II he
had been lying In the bed 1t probably
would have been more plainly noticeable.
Miss Wilson" was at the Elwell house
on Friday after Elwell's murder had
been discovered, Mrs. Larsen said. She
denied that she had hidden the revolver
/ with which Elwell was shot.
/ SPENT NIGHT
I WITH ELWEIL.
A new angle was given the whist ex-
! pert case by the confession of a yourS
woman today who said she had spent
I the night with him at his fashionable
/ home forty-eight hours before his death.
District Attorney Swami will person
I ally Quiz the woman late today In an
/ effort 10 learn whether she had concealed
sny of her movements on the morning
of the murder.
Two other new theories were also being
probed by detectives today. One was the
supposition that Elwell was slain after
he had fallen asleep in the luxurious part
of his home by an enemy who had hid
den in his house throughout the night.
The other Is that the fatal shot was fired
by Jealous man who followed woman
TO the house on the morning of Elwelfs
death.
The investigation also developed the
theory that the dainty lingerie, found in
ElwelPs dressing room, was owned by
him for the use of women who visited
him and did not belong to any Of his
women callers
The young woman who told detectives
she had been with the slain man over
night just forty eight hours before his
death, is expected 10 divulge important
information today relative to Elwell's
white light" life.
Lyttleton Fox, the lawyer for Miss
Kraus. who was present during part Of
the questioning OF Won schlegell, agreed
TO bring Miss Kraus to be questioned by
Mr. Dooling at some place which was to
be a secret
MISS KRAUs
BEING QUESTIONED.
Miss Kraus is only one Of many friends
of Elwell and her testimony, District At
torney Swami indicated, is not expected
to be OF much help in unraveling the
murder.
NO doubt" Mr. Swami said. "she will
exact silence as a condition of telling the
whole story. She would only be de-
handing her privilege. We can not
! force her to answer. We can not force
hand Ua raoaf-aH .,,,
