Important Evidence Gained From Woman Living In Apartment

NEW YORK, March 1s.-New clues and new mysteries were un- earthed by the police today in their investigation a of the murder of Dorothy Keenan, model, who was found slain in her apartment last Thursday But the new lines or in- quiry only served to make the case more baffling.
 It has been announced that the arrest of a man who had not here tofore been mentioned might be ex- pected, but tonight there was no report of such an arrest.
 The latest development came when a woman, whose name was not made public, but who was said to live in the apartment directly be- low the one formerly occupied by Miss Keenan, told police that about midnight Wednesday she heard foot steps in the apartment above her and that some one paced the floor rapidly, as if extremely nervous. When she went to her window which is on an airshaft, she smelled a pungent odor, apparently that of chioroform. /
 This information was interpreted by some officials as establishing a new time for the murder. It was pointed out that the mysterious "Mr. Marshall" who has admitted show ering gifts of money and jewelry absoived from all blame in conneo- tion with the crime by Assistant Attorney Pecora said he did not loave Miss Keenan's apartment un- til after midnight; that when he left Dot appeared in good spirits"
