surrounding the murder of Joseph b.
Elwell, sportsman and whist expert.
depended on reports expected from
detectives who were sent to Lexing-
ton. KY, to follow up what the police
consider the most plausible clue to
the identity OF the assailants.
According to Edward Swan, dis
trict attorney, who personally has
taken charge of the investigation, re-
liable information was given that Mr..
Elwell left Lexington suddenly as a
result of threats on his life by tie
father or brother of a prominent girl
of that city. Mr.. Swan declined to
name the Lexington family.
Examination OF numerous friends
of the dead man, both men and
women, have caused detectives to
abandon the idea that he was killed
by anyone because of anyone.
"Of this one thing we are con-
yinced." said Mr.. Swan, 1.-The murder
was done out of revenge"

CLUE At MORGAN
Victor Won Schegel Tells of
Stopping There Enroute to
Atlantic City for Auto Repair

In endeavoring to find a clue to the
murder of Joseph B. Elwell, the po-
lice have brought to light many inter-
esting features of the case, which has
stirred the sporting element of New
\ ork and created one of the biggest
sensations to lately come to light.
In their efforts to find the murderer
or the cause for the murder. the po-
lice have uncovered one of the great
est mysteries ever conceived and from
latest testimony from those supposed
10 know something about the case
facts from a local nature have been
brought out
The most interesting local feature
so far to come to light was the tes-
imony ~ of Victor Won Schegel with
timony of Victor Won Schegal with
bachelor apartments at No. 22 East
ed street. Won Schegel was recently
divorced by his wife after several af-
fairs with women.
Won Scheigel was one of the last
to see Elwell alive and as he disap-
peared from the city shortly after
the murder the police thought he
might know something In connection
with the murder of Elwell. When
Won Scheigel reappeared in the city
and was questioned by the police he
Informed them he had been in Allan
tic City.
On the trip to Atlantic City, Won
Scheigel drove his motor car from
New York to Morgan, about four
miles from this city, where the ma
chine broke down and was placed in
the Morgan garage, owned by +. c.
Morris, for repairs.
Mr.. Norris when asked concerning
the incident. said today that he re-
membered the machine being left
there about noon on Friday and the
two men who were In the machine
continuing their trip to Atlantic City
by train. After leaving the garage
Mr.. Morris said that he next heard
from Won Schelgel when he called
from Red Bank telling him what to
do with the car and that he would
return on Monday for It,
Mr. Morris said that Won Schegel ap-
peared to be normal when at the gar
age and there was nothing about the
car to cause the least suspicion. The
only thing that Morris could remem-
Der about the men was that one was
shorter than the other and one SEEM
ed to be greatly interested in golf.
On Monday the men returned for car
as promised and he had heard moth
ing more from them until the con-
nection in the murder case was
brought out.
