woman from Baltimore who, she
said, also wore the pink kimono.
| This pink kimono was not the
first piece Of it's kind that Mr.. Elweii
had bought for use Of his women
visitors. according to Mrs. Kane.
1t had a predecessor-one OF blue
silk with white roses.
-Mr Elwell never had a pistol"
said Mrs. Kane. at another juncture
| of the interview. The only weapon
he ever had was a black jack, in his
Palm Beach home. My husband can
verify that"
Mrs. Kane's husband. whom I in
| terviewed later. corroborated this
statement.
| Afraid Of Husbands.
"Mr. Elwell was afraid Of many
| husbands" Mrs. Kane declared.
| Incidentally, she told of how she
| lived secretly in a room In the top
| of the Elwell home and thus was
witness to the many parties" and
midnight revelings. Here Is Mrs.
! Kane's own story.
"One day l had a row with Mr..
Elwell In the very room in which he
was found shot. Elwell was very
| offensive to me. I became quite
ruffled. but led him to continue, then
/ said:
You forget all did for you, Mr.,
Elwell. but I'm going TO round
| you
| He said: What do you mean
Il said: I'll tell Madame KS hus-
band about the gcings-on here
I N innRn the
| name of one of Elwell's most inti-
mate women friends who figures
prominently in the District Attor-
] ney's investigation and who has
! been frequently mentioned In con-
! nection with the case.
Pleads For silence.
"Mr. Elwelrs attitude Immediately
! changed. He said: For Gods sake,
don't do that. Whatever passed US
: lust now. let IL be forgotten.
He appealed to me not to do il.
Immediately said I would not be-
cause we were good friends again.
Mr.. Elwell was afraid OF Madame
KS husband learning about his, Mr.
Elwell's, relations with her ana
about the goingsg on in his house
For instance. enc morning about
s o'clock last summer a man, whom
we'll call Monsieur T.. came to the
door and asked IL Mr.. Elwell was
lin. I told him Mr.. Elwell could not
be seen at that hour. He forced
himself into the kitchen. where
spoke to him.
Husband seeks Wife.
He wore military trousers. He
had lust returned from France. He
was very much excited. He said:
~ have come TO find my wife
He said another man had told
him Elwell had her in the house.
He got almost inarticulate as he
told me the story. He broke into
foreign tongue with sprinRlinG
of English.
HE said his wife was a movie
actress.
"Mr. Elwell was in bed at the
time. called up the dumb waiter
There's a man here looking for HIS
wife
'Mr. Elwell called down: L know
nothing about her. Put him out
.I told Monsieur T. to go out.
and as had a lot Of sympathy for
him l told him to watch Mr.. FL
wells automobile, which was walt
ing at the door.
Pursues Elwell.
"Mr. EIwell called down some
time later and inquired II the man
had gone. He told me that IL the
man called again I should tell him
he. Mr.. Elwell, had gone out
through the back door.
when Mr.. Elwell went out to get
into his machine, Monsieur u rusn-
ed up the street. Mr.. Elwell dashed
into his automobile. l asked MOD
sieur T. when Mr.. Elwell had disap-
peared what had happened. Mon
sieur e was in a great rage. He
replied that as Mr.. Elwell had got
into his machine he had called out:
Your wife has gone, ,on with 4
touring company.
"T never knew what became OF
Monsieur Il after that. / do not
know his name.
Curiosity Conquers.
THE detectives are making a lot
of the lingerie found in Elwelis
home. 1 can clear that mystery. Last
summer Mr.. Elwell handed me box
and said: Put that away-don't
open it
We'll. that aroused my curiosity
I opened the box. 1t contained the
pink kimono which the police are
now talking about. 1t was bought
at - on Fifth avenue. No woman
left that there. Mr.. Elwell had
bought II for the use Of his visitors.
Mrs. was the first to
wear IL.
How do / know? Well. you see,
i wasn't supposed to be living in the
house. but when we returned from
Palm Beach I couldn't get an apart
ment in New York. Therefore,
without Mr.. Elwell's knowledge, 1
had a room in the top of the house
and saw everything that was going
on. Nobody ever knew that I saw.
"I have seen a woman come night
after night.
'One morning I saw Mrs. -
in the pink kimono.
Baitimore Girl Mentioned.
"A young woman from Baltimore
also wore the pink kimono.
"One night. after Mr.. Eiwell had
