New Clues in Death
Pretty Model Make
Case More Battling

New York, March lo-New clues
and new mysteries were unearthcd
by the police today in their investi-
cation of the murder of Dorothy
keenan,. model, who was found
slain in her West Fifty-seventh
street apartment last Thursday But
the new lines of inquiry only served
to make the case more battling.
1t had been expected that the ar
rest of man who had not hereto
fore been mentioned might be ex-
pectcd. but tonight there was no re-
port of such an arrest.
The latest development came
when 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 the police that
about midnight-fest WEDNESDAY she
heard footsteps in the apartment
above her and that some one paced
the floor rapidly, as though ex-
tremely nervous. When she went
to her window. which is on an air
shaft. she smellcd a pungent odor
apparently that CT chloroform. .
This information was interpreted
by some officials as esta blishing a
new time for the murder Ii was
pointed out that the mysterious Mr..
Marshall" who has admitted show
ering gifts of money and jewelry
upon the pretty model. and who was
absolved from all blame in connec-
ton with the crime by Assistant
District Attorney Pefora. had said
he did not leave Miss Keenan's
apartment until after midnight; that
when he left Dot appeared in good
spirits
The woman's story would tend to
dlsprove report that Miss keenan,
had visited Albert Giumares. the
man in the fur coat" at his hotel
at : n. m. Thursday. Giumares
branded this report as "absurd.'
The cloud of mystery that hangs
between the public and Mr. Mar
shall" apparently hung also between
the model herself and her wealthy
admirer. Marshall was said to have
told Mr.. Pecora tina; in the IA
months he had known dot" he
never told her his real name. and
gave her but one slight indication
as to his business connections. He
said that he did not think her mo-
Their nor any of the girls friends
knew his real identity.
Between January % and Feb
rua"y IS, it was learned today. Miss
keenan,. deposited S9.7:U.56 at her
bank. In that period she withdrew

difficulty in preventing the women

their bundles containing their sole
possessions. When all were taken
out in safety. the sailors dashed into
the building and threw the bundles
out of the windows.
