 Victim Of Murder

, cry stock, said to have been signed I by Mitchell, was found among papers in the slain mans pockets. Secrecy surrounded the entrance | of Mitchel's name into the inves- | tigation and it was not known he
 would be questioned until a cable
 from Paris said French police had
 been instructed to find him. Pre- viously Police Inspector John J..
 Gallagher, in charge of the case.
 categorically denied there had been any such request.
 Almost equal secrecy surrounded at least two women known to have been questioned for possible clews. One was said to be Miss
 Maguhilde Almskaar, Sanborn's
 fiancee. Little concerning her, other than she was Swedish in- tterpreter for a Wall street con-
 cern, was made known.
 Miss Almskaar and Sanborn
 had planned to marry July 30, but l objections from the latter's fam fly caused the wedding to be post poned until September.
 The second woman, a beautiful blonde, even more mysterious than
 Miss Almskaar, was sinjected into
 the case when nude photograp phs of her were found in Sanborn's office. No hint of her identity was
 revealed, although it was believed
 police had questioned her, too. Attempts to gain more light on the rail officials private life were forestalled, however, when police
 were barred from Sanborn's $13.75 a week room in the Railroad
 Young Mems Christian association. An executive of the Y. M. c. A.
 branch said an attorney acting for the Sanborn family ordered police | away. A policeman stood guard in the corridor and will remain there | until a court order to permit Q | search is obtained.
 Employes at the Y. M. c. A..
 knew Sanborn as a "yery pleasant, very quiet gentleman, who had
 few friends visit him and who kept
 to himself most of the .time." It | was said he frequently was absent from his room for several nights at a time. Police were checking to l find if Sanborn had another ad- | dress. That the slain man lived
 in 8 $13.75 a week room when he | was in a position to have more | luxurious quarters was considered strange. 'tss
 Vague c1ews led authorities to conclude the murder was not mo- tivated by robbery. More than $500
 was found on his body when it
 was taken from vertical grave
 in tangled thicket in southern Bayside, Queens, Saturday.
