SLAIN BY
FRIEND, IS
THEORY
Prosecutor Believes Stranger
Would Have Caused Girl to
Make Cutlery.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Dor-
othy King was murdered by a
person whose early morning en-
trance into her apartment was
not sufficiently surprising to
cause the girl to cry aloud in
alarm.
Ferdinand Pecora, chief assist
ant district attorney, so expressed
his opinion today ! at the begin
ming of the third week of in.
vestigatiOn of the crime which
has barred the skeleton in the
family closet of E. T. Stotesbury,
Philadelphia's mightiest financier.
PecOra Holds Conferences.
Pecora conferred at length with
Capt. Arthur Carey, of the homicide
bureau, and conversed over the tele-
phone regarding the case with In
spector John coughlin. Every
phase of the investigation to date
was discussed and there was gen
eral fusfng of opinions and theories.
based on evidence which has come
to the hands of the authorities.
AS an outcome OF this conference
every person remotely connected
with the life Of Dorothy King during
the last week Of her life or who
might have some knowledge of her
chloroforning is to be questioned.
Will Question Keenans.
Members of the keenan, family
D0rothy's real name was Annas
Keenapwill come first and their
examination will take place this
AFTERNOON at the Criminal Courts
building, in the presence of Pecora
|and Coughlin. There will be D0ro-
thye mother, Mrs. Anna keenan,;
her rather belligerent brother, John:
her milder-mannered brother. Fran
els. who was at one time EMPLOYED
by his sisters friend, Major Draper
DRugherty. son of the Attorney
General of the United states, and
Mrs. Helen Whitson, sister OF the
dead girl.
j. Kearsley Mitchell, PhiIadeI.
phIa millionaire who married T1. r.
Stotesbufy's daughter amid blind
ing social glamour. has been mott.
fled to be at the district attorneys
office tomorrow. Mitchell provided
Dottie King with a fortune in cash
and jewels and established her in
the West Fifty seventh street
apartment,
John Fl. Jackson, MitchelI's pri.
vate attorney, who has admitted
his oneness with the mysterious
mfr. Wilson who accompanied
Mitchell on his philandering ex-
cursions. will also have to undergo
another questioning tomorrow.
jackson Not "Mr. WILSON,
One of the many strange circum-
stances in this sensational expose
The Washington times., 1923-03-30

is the fact that John Thomas, night
elevator operator at the building
i'm which Dorothy King lived, now
says that Jackson is not the MIR.
Wilson" who he was accustomed
to seeing with the mysterious Mr..
Marshall (the name used by
MITCHELL.
This may, however, be one of
the eccentricities Of Thomas mem
Org, which does not seem reliable.
as he identified Jackson as Mr..
Wilson" when he encountered him
at Pecora's office last Saturday.
Thomas and Miss Kings maid,
Ella Bradford, who found the body
Of the murdered girl, are included
in the list of witnesses to be ques-
toned today.
Letters which were found In a
safety deposit box at the National
City Bank, and which are said to
have been written by Mitchell to
Dottie King, were examined yes
terday by the police. Captain Carey
told Pecora that he does not con-
slider the letters Of value in SOW
ing the mystery.
Won't Discuss Letters.
Would the letters furnish a
weapon for blackmail?" Pecora was
asked.
THAT would depend on their
contents" he evaded, and there
was no argument.
Pecora made it clear that he did
not wish to discuss the letters at
present. They are now in the pos.
session of Mrs. Keenan,, who has
been appointed administrators Of
her daughters estate.
The fact that no cutlery was
heard on the morning of the muir
der by. any one living in or near
the apartment building in which
Miss King resided is basis for Pc
cora's statement that the person
who killed the girl was no stranger
to her. This might, of course. APP
ply to a number Of persons.
The ease with which person
might gain access to or escape
from Miss Kings apartment has
been pointed out before.
How Model Learned Name.
"Have you caught Mitchell in
any misstatements in your prev
ious examinations OF him?"
After deep thought, Pecora de-
clared:
II won't say that there were mis-
statements. One thing that occurs
to me is that, when Mitchell was
| first interviewed he could not recall
how Dorothy King learned his real
name. When l questioned him last
Saturday he did recall that she dis
covered his name by seeing a lett er
addressed to him while they were
dining together"
II am still not acquainted with
any detail or date which reason.
ebly supports any view that Mitchell
was in any way concerned with the
girls death" he said.
Guimares Arraigncd.
Albert e. Guimares, on whom
Miss King heaped valuable gifts.
which she purchased with money
given ner by Mitchell, was arraign.
ed yesterday on a charge of possess
ing weapon without q permit. The
hearing was again postponed until
April 16 because Of the abscnce OF
Frederick h. Goldsmith, Guimare's
attorney. who is in Boston attempt
ing to settle the little matter of
extradition proceedings against his
| client. Cuimarcs was indicted in
| Boston on a charge Of selling bogus
| stock.

Petitioners, represented by At.

lockwood, George s. Hobart and
Charles Z. Lark, attack the validity
of one of the indictments changing
them with conspiracy to defraud
the Shipping Board. They say the
Indictment alleges the conspiracy
began in April 1917 when the law

corporation in which the Govern.

passed until October 1913.
Petitioners claim they are charged
with violating law not on the
statute books when the alleged con-

entered into. The conBtitutiOnality
of the act Of October 1918 is ques-

it to be against the spirit of the
