LEE MAINTAINS
INNOCENCE IN
MURDER PROBE
Prosecutor Believes Evidence
Strong Enough to Con-
vict Him. However

New York, July 12.--tR-A
phlegmatic one-time sailor of 33 to-
day had successfully withstood
since Sunday an almost continuous
barrage of questions fired by relays
Of 20 detectives who believe him
guilty Of hacking to pieces the
bodies of two women in the Brook
lyn rooming house where he, was
janitor.
And during it all, the suspect.
Ludwig Lee. sat unmoved and
calmly protested his innocence.
District Attorney Dodd of Brook
lyn said: ut doesn't reallv make
much difference whether he does
confess. l am convinced that we
have a case plenty strong enough
to convict him now"
Parts of the bodies of two women
have been found since Saturday in
six places in New York and Brook
lyn. The latest discoveries were
packages in subway yards and near
the Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn,
in which were a wOman's head and
part Of thigh. Both places are
about two miles from the house in
Prospect Place, Brooklyn, where
Lee was janitor.
Medical examiners, piecing to-
gether the human fragments, be-
lieved only few portions yet re-
mained undiscovered Of the bodies
Of Miss Sarah Elizabeth Brownell,
69-year-old former seamstress, and
Mrs, Alfred Bennett, 48-year-old
mother Of four children. The wo-
men were neighbors.
Parts of the bodies were found in
ash cans in.the cellar of the Pros
pect Place owned by Miss Brownell
and in drain pipe that had become
clogged and caused the cellar to
be flooded. Two saws, two ham,
mers and an axe lay'in the room. A
bloody shirt, believed to belong to
Lee, was found there.
Had Planned to Marry
Lee said during the questioning
that he and Miss Brownell, his en-
ployer, had agreed to marry and
settle in his native citv Of Oslo,
Norway. He said she had proposed
and he had accepted.
Lee admitted quarreling with her
at times.
The police theory is that Mrs.
Bennett was slain because. in q call
on her neighbor, she discovered
Miss Brownell had been killed.
