FLORIDA WOMAN
 NOT IMPLICATED
 IN ELWELL CASE
By Associated Press

Orlando. Fla. August 7,--Author. ities announced today that they had definitely established that Miss Lena Clarke, postmistress at West Palm Beach, who is alleged to have con fessed to a $32,00 postal theft, and is held in jail here In connection with the killing of w H. Miltimore. for- mer postal empIoye, in her room at local hotel here Monday night, had no connection with the murd sr of Joseph B. Elwell, wealthy club man. in New York in June, 1920.
 They have established, they say. that Miss Clarke has not been north of Atlanta since she was an infant
 E,lwellis name was brought into the case by excerpts from an alleged statement by Miss Clarke made pun lie by the authoritiesl last night. This pufported statement some 2,o0o words in length, was made public in full today by Sheriff I<arel of Orange county. It Is said to contain no inn portant details not announced last night.
 It is described by the woman, au- thorities say. as the history of her life beginning with the loss of $3s,- 900 from the postotflce while her brother, Paul Clarke, was postmaster in 1918, and ending with the killing of Miltimore, As to the actual kill ing of the man, however, the alleged statement is hazy, and quotes the woman as saying she had been with out food for two days previously and does not remember it.
 Elwell. according to the alleged statement, a winter visitor to Palm Beach, loaned the woman the money to cover the loss for which she be- 1ieves Miltimore responsible. Later Elwell called for an optional set clement, the alleged statement cor tinues, and rather than submit to his demands, she entered upon career of doctoring the. postoffice accounts:
 Miss Clarke's attorneys announced today that they would not attempt to obtain her release by habeas cor pus proceedings, but gave no indi- cation as to when they would ask for a preliminary hearing.
 Funeral services were held at a local undertakers establishment to- day for Miltimore, after which the body. accompanied by relatives, was sent to his former home at West Palm Beach for burial.

 Carried 13I Passengers
 The Alaska, of the San Francisco and Portland Steamship company, left Portland, Ore. last Friday with 131 passengers. of whom i23 were in the cabin and eight in the steer age. The majority of passengers were summer tourists.
 The Alaska hailed from the home port of Port Townsend, Wash. It's net tonnage was 3,709 and it's length 32T feet. Her normal crew numbered 45. She was built at Chester, Pa. in 1889.
 Blunt's Reef is 40 miles south of Eureka, and 197 miles north of San Francisco. Ship accidents were frs- auent at that point years ago, until a lightship was built in 1901. The only notable wreck since was the sinking about l5 years ago of the steamer Columbia, with d heavy loss of life. The owners of the Alaska, incidentally also owned the Co, lumbia.
 Fogs have prevailed along the Washington Oregon and Northern California coasts for two weeks an1 several shipping casualties have re- suited. the most notable being the wreck of the Canadian government steamer Canadian Exporter, off South Bend, Wash, last week

Burch also of Evanston, Ill, held in connection with the slay- ing in Beverly Glen Friday night of John B. Kennedy, insurance broker, county and city officials today began gathering loose ends of evidence which they expect to lead to an early solution of the mystery.
 Kennedy was shot from ambush when, accompanied by Mrs. Oben- chain, he was searching the ground in front of his Beverly Hills home for a lucky penny" which his com panion said she had buried there q year ago. According to Mrs. Oben- chain and a neighbor, two men were seen fleeing from the place directly after the shots were fired
 Mrs. Obenchain. who though only 20 years old, is a divoreee, having separated from her husband, Ralph E. Obenohain, a prominent Chicago attorney, denies all Knowledge of the shooting She ayers that she was to have married Kennedy and that she had obtained her divorce for this purpose. Opposition by Kennedy $ family Is said to have delayed the marriage.
 Burch and Mrs Obenchain knew each other at Northwestern univer- = sity, where they were students.
 Facts Leading to Arrest
 The facts leading to the arrest Of Burch were given out by deputy sheriffs in charge of the investiga- tion in substance as follows:
 On July 24, Burch went to small hotel on Broadway here and obtained a front room partially facing the of- flee occupied by kennedy's firm. He asked for a room directly opposite Kennedy's office and offered a bonus for it. The room was occupied, however, and he was refused, He spent all his time in his room there after, hotel employees said, constantly watching Kennedys office.
 Burch was visited several times by a young woman whom he said was his cousin The landlord was shown photographs of Mrs. Obenchain to- night and said she was not the vis- itor.
 Friday evening Burclszaeft the hotel early, after receiving telephone call from a woman. He carried a long parcel, wrapped in newspapers, which officers say they believe was a shot gun He returned at midnight. The medical and other evidence indicated that Kennedy was shot not later than 12 o'clock
 Early yesterday he checked out of

When the officers had developed facts sufficient, in their belief, to justify the detention of Burch, they learned he had purchased a ticket for Evanston and left at 10:40. Authori- ties at Las Vegas, Nev., were notified to make the arrest.
 The man was identified by the long suit case he carried.
 While officers were engaged in i'm terrogating Mrs, Oberchaip, a plain white envelope, mailed at the general postoffice here and addressed to her, was delivered at her hotel. It con- tained $S5 in currency, nothing else. Mrs. Oberchain told the police that this was repayment by Burch of a loan she had made him and said that she and he had frequently assisted each other financially. Although Mrs. Obenchain's mother and sister lived at Pasadena, adjoining Los An geles, they had not known of her presence here. They first heard of it yesterday when reporters called at their home for information.
 Kennedy's father said tonight that the son had not had the keys to the Beverly Glen cottage, where he was shot, for more than two years, and did not have them Friday night He said he did not know why his son should have gone there.
 MT Kennedy issued a statement in which he insisted that Mrs. Ober- chain had been urging young Ken nedy to marry her and that the sit- nation had caused his son to be greatly worried
