QUIZ

ance with Mrs. Virginia Nc
Pherson, slain nurse, has been
located and has returned to

days ago to find the woman. for

the slain nurse was found Septem-
Der IA, by her husband. Robert A.
Mcpherson, jr., now held on a
charge Of murder.
1t was learned that the mystery
witness left Washington shortly
after Mrs. McPhersou's body was
discovered. and left no forwarding
address other than general deiiv.
ery," New York city. This woman,
who is a nurse, withdrew from the
local registry and did not even give
her most intimate friends her ad-
dress.
Considerable importance is at
tached to the testimony which
probably will be given by the young
woman, as she is supposed To know
of the motive behind the Staying of
Mrs. Mcpherson. 1t is known by
Justice agents that the mystery
witness and Mrs. Mcpherson were
more or less intimate and worked
for the same physicians, several of
whom are being checked up by the
Federal agents.
The suicide theory, built so care
fully by the members of the homi-
eide squad whose bungling methods
clouded the Mcpherson death with
mystery, has been wholly discarded
by Justice agents. They are con.

victim of stranger.
Although several men, who could
have been in the apartment the
night the nurse was strangled, have
been given a fairly clean bill Of
health" they are not out of the
woods yet by any means, according
to J. Edgar Hoover. head Of the
criminal investigation division OF
the Department of Justice.
Every Alibi Checked
Every alibi offered so far is be-
ing checked by agents in an effort
to find a hole that might throw
more light on the ctscured trail Of
the slayer.
The thought that Mrs. McPher-
son may have been the victim. Of
a dope ring has been branded as
ridiculous by investigators. How

she was getting too much informa"

that was operating outside OF the
law.

opinion of investigators, this man

representative of The Wash

since the tragedy has mar
ried Miss Helen Barnes
Parker, Scrivener's fiancee,
made startling revelations
that throw new light on the
murder mystery.
Maragon said that following
the tragedy Lieutenant Kelly
and Detective Joseph Waldron,
both of whom were close
friends of Scrivener and both
of whom were working on the
mystery, called at her home at
Mclean, Va, and discussed
the testimony that it would be
advisable for her to give at
the inquest,
Kelly tried and tried to get Miss
Parker to say that the gun which
was found near Scrivener's body
was one she had seen in Scrivener's
car on three different weekend
trips that she had taken with him, y
Maragon charged.
Refused to Do II
Miss Parker fatty refused to do
this. She said that she had seen
Scrivener with a gun only once
when they were on a trip in Vir-
ginia-and that the gun she saw
was positively not the one found
near the body"
Kelly then impressed upon her
the Importance of under no circum-
stances revealing how she came to
meet Scrivener, Maragon declared.
