recommendations, another meet
ing will be called and further de
tails outlined. 1t is planned to

story of his part i'll the alleged
murder last June OF Joseph B. FL
well, wealthy New York clubman
and widely known in Kentucky as
a turf follower, Buffalo police to-
day. after a careful analysis OF
his signed confession, said it did
not exactly fit the facts, especial
ly in regard to the time of the
shooting and the calibre of the
gun used. On the other hand
Harris gives a wealth of detail
about the incidents preceding the
murder.
Buffalo, N. Y, April Roy
Harris. arrested here Wednesday
on a charge Of forgery, signed a
statement to the effect that he
and another man killed Joseph B.
Elwell, in New York, last June.
Harris says that he and friend
William Dunkin, were accosted
on the street by a chauffeur they
knew who told them that-he had
a woman passenger who might
pay them well for a Job" They
got in and drove about with the
woman. who said her name was
Mrs. Fairchilds, and promised
them 5000 to kill Elwell. She
gave them $50 each on account
and the next morning met them
and drove them to Elwells home
on West Seventieth street, where
she let them in with a key.
Harris alleges Dunkin shot Ell
well. The woman. he said, gave
them $3.50 each and promised the
rest Of the money later. Harris
says he never got any more and
suspects that his pal double-crOss
ed him. He fled the city when
the tragedy excited such wide
spread interest.
The man has been staying at
hotel here with his wife since
Tuesday. An acquaintance tipped
the local police off that he was
wanted in St. GATHERINGS Ontar-
10, for alleged check forgery and
he was arrested. AS he was be-
ing brought into the station
house he said:
"That check thing was all set
tied. | know what you want me
for. 1t is the Elwell murder"
Then, without much prompting,
he dictated a statement and sign
ed it.
