to the dead mans past. Every rela tive, every friend, every casual ac quaintance or servant, every one who had ever seen the dead turfman was found and examined Every pos sible motive for his killing was ON plored. Love affairs long buried were exhumel and the principles grilled to discover motive for the crime. Every real or suspected enc mity was probed. All led to the same end-a wealth of information about the dead mans leisurely life. his reputation for suave good na- ture and his conquests of women's S hearts. But not a ray of light on the crime itself ,. .y~--
 Known Facts Few
 The known facts of how Elwell spent the night before his death are few. During the early evening he was one of dinner party at large hotel Other guests were Mr. and Mrs. Lewisholm. Miss Viola Kraus and a South American journalist who met Elwell for the first time that evening. At d nearby table sat Vie tor Non Schlegel. the divorced hus- band of Miss Kraus and Miss Ely Hope Anderson. a singer whose home is in Minneapolis.
 All who were present agreed af terward that there was no show Of illfeeling between Elwell and Von Sehlegell, though they brushed shoul- ders on the dance floor. several times with Non Schlegelrs former wife dancing with the sportsman
 After leaving the hotel the Lewis. ohm party, including Elwell. went to roof garden theatre, where they remained until 1:30 when all left and Elwell was seen to start on foot toward his home. Here ends all un- assailahle evidence of the murder victims movements A man told in. vestigators he had seen Elweu and woman in an upper Broadway dance hall at a much later honr A neighbor claimed to have seen Ell. we'll driven home by man in a racing ear at 2:S0. A taxicab driver asserted he had driven the sports. man home directly after he left tse Lewisohn party.
 Phone Girl Talks
 More important evidence seemed to lie in the statements of Margaret Butler. telephone operator, who de. clared she tried to put through two telephone calls from Elwell's home between ? and 2:3O o'clock on the morning of the tragedy. The num- Der called in each case was that of William K. Pendleton. a former rag Ing partner of Elwelrs. When inter.

nfen gowned and jeweled for the bali the race track, the gaming table an |, far removed from the frenzied whiEi of the bright lights the doting par ehts in their vine-clad home in the cbuntry-all these were woven and ipterwoven into what has been pro nounced by detectives the deepest mystery of years.
 In :. it's. most sinister guise, murder at the hands of an unknown and unsuspecter assassin, death came to Joseph Bowne Elwell in middle age when his most expressing cares amounted to anxiety over a favorite race horse, some intricacy of his rul- ing passion, bridge whist, or an after theatre engagement with "the wo- man in black" or "the lady in grey
 Still breathing, though large cal ibre bullet had plowed through his brain, Elwell was discovered at S:30 in the morning of June II clad in a chair against the wall of the re ception room on the first floor of his three-story house in West roth Street. He died several hours after without speaking a word which might betray the identity of his slayer. .ss.st., .,
 He was found by Mrs Marie Lar sen, Elwells housekeeper. arriving for her daily work of tidying up the house. On a table at his side were several letters. one of which. from a racing associate, had been re- moved from the envelope The la. ters had been delivered by the post man at 1885.
 Mystery Surrounds
 There was no weapon, no foot print. no evidence of a struggle, no possible clue except a 45 calihle shell, such as is elected from an automatic pistol of the army type and the stub of a cigarette different from those Elwell habitually smoked Doors and windows were securely locked
 Experts declared that a suicide theory was untenable because Ei- well could not have held the fatal pistol far enough away from his head to avoid powder burns, even were 1t possible to account for the disap- pearance of the weapon. There were powder marks on the dying mans Forehead, but no burns.
 As soon as the idea of self-destruc- ton was rejected the man-hunt was started. Its ramifications extend ad all over the country. into avery cir. cle of society and for years back in.
