tached Puerto Rican, who admitted Dot had
showered him with gifts Of money, jewels and
fine clothes.
He had visited several night clubs the pre-
vious evening, he said, and returned to his
midtown hotel room at approximately 2:30
a. m. He had called Dot King on the tele-
phone then, but she had not answered and he
had gone directly'to bed.
Carey was skeptical of Gumares' story
when he noticed that the handsome young
Puerto Ricans hand and face were bruised
and scratched
Guimares insisted he had suffered the in
juries in a night club brawl the night before,
but that he had only a dim recollection of the
circumstances due to heavy drinking.
Detectives checked and re-checked his story
until it obvious he could not have been
in his murdered sweetheart's apartment when
she met her death
Meanwhile the search for the elusive Mr..
Marshall and his equally elusive man Friday
went on.
The authorities endeavored to keep this
phase secret. But somewhere down the line
there was leak and the Dot King case as
sumed International prominence overnight. 1t
had everything: a beautiful showgirl, MUIR
der, handsome gigelo, rich sugar daddy,
love nest-everything!
Public interest was intense. Had the con-
scienceless Broadway butterfly launched a
blackmail campaign against one of her ad-
mirers and been slain trying to prevent him
from regaining possession of those flaming,
all-revealing love letters? Was it the work of
a bungling sneak thief? Who was Marshall
Who was Wilson?
The writer of this article keeping a watch
dog vigil the district attorneys office,
established the fact that both Marshall and
Wilson had made several visits there.
Once certain of this it was comparatively
easy matter to establish their Identities
Marshall was revealed as j. Kearsley Nit
chell, wealthy son-in-law Of the late Edward
(Uncle Ned) Stotesbury, dictator of Philadel-
phias blue-blood upper crust" and pillar
of the Quaker City's 400" Wilson was Nit
chells lawyer.
Confronted with this, the Philadelphia
admitted he had written the amazing pink
toes letter, and had made valuable gifts
to the slain girl. His voluntary revelations
were sensational but did not help solve the
mystery of Dot Kings death.
After a most intensive investigation.
Mitchell was completely exonerated. leaving
the authorities much in the dark as they
were the moment they first viewed the beau

In ensuing weeks literally thousands Of So
called clues and tips" were investigated
under Careys direction. New angles were
developed but quickly died out. Today the
mystery Of Dot Kings murder is as battling
as it was nineteen years ago.
Arthur Carey, retired ten years ago as an
Inspector, recently told the writer:

sneak thief of the current 'mugger' type The
case is still very much open and believe il

dive bombers and set the York
town afire. She barely was visi-
BILE through the smoke as our
crusier waited nearby in the
Wreckage streWn waters. We
thought she was gone, and there
was tense hour of watching while
the smoke gradually lessened. It
seemed almost unbelievable when
the Yorktown finally got underway.
The second attack-by more than
a score of dive bombers and torpe-
do planes - came almost at the
same instant the Yorktown's re-
naming planes were roaring off
her deck as she picked up suffi-
clent speed to launch them.
Then there was five-nninute hell
OF noise, flashing planes, long
streaks of fire in the skies, the
jolts of exploding bombs, and al
most solid trails of tracer bullets
as, one by one, the enemy craft
dropped into the sea. They died,
but never faltered, under the hail
of shells and bullets from our own
fighter planes and the whole fleets
guns.
They pressed their attack home,
all right-probably three of them,
but we didn't think even one got
away. And if they did they had
no place to land-their own carrier
was being blasted to pieces at the
same time.
It was then the stiffness became
deafening, emotions unruly. 1t was
then there came a sudden recogni-
ton of the love a man can bear
for ship at sea.
These are the parts of the Battle
of Midway that were re-lived over
our long-delayed coffee that night
in the hushed wardroom of a cruis-
er that was heading straight for
more trouble - and with a crew
grimly set on exacting a usurer's
interest for the sight they'd just
seen.
We knew at that time, however,
that the Japanese already had paid
an awful price for their attempt to
bulge their power into the East.
But no man who saw the York
town will ever think they paid too
much.

ORDNANCE
COSTS NOTHING
Army Department Chief
Tells Workers Efforts
Made 1t So

GADSDEN, Ala, Sept. 16.@tR-
The Army chief of ordnance, Major
General L. H. Campbell, Jr., told
Gadsden ordnance works employees
today that because of their effici-
ency the $6,o0O,OO0 munitions plant
would cost the United States no.
thing.
Gen. Campbell explained that this
amount would be saved to the ma
tion's taxpayers from estimated
production costs upon completion
of the initial contract" for 1O5-mm.
shells.
His address highlighted the award
of an Army Navy production pen
nant.
General Campbell praised the
Army's 105-mm. howitzers, for which
the shells are intended, as IAN i'm
portant cannon unsurpassed by any
foreign weapon of that calibre.
"She fires fast, has a nice, long
range, is very mobile and sturdy
and, combined with your high-class
she'll, is as troublesome light field
weapon as an enemy of ours can
encounter"
OF the Gadsden works, General
Campbell said:
Your plant here cost $4,000, 900.
The total amount of the contract
ran into a number of millions more
But the cost to the United States,
upon completion of the initial shell
contract, will be absolutely nothing.
"The efficiency with which this
plant has been operated, the total
savings which have resulted, will
presently return this plant free and
clear
"Including all costs, you are pro-
ducing 1O5-mm. shells here for
about so per cent less than the
contract allowed
The ordnance chief said he real
ized most of the workers were new
to machines when they came to
work at Gadsden, as nearly all
were former farmers or former
cotton-pickers, residents Of this
region"
General Campbell told the work
ers ''you have accomplished some
thing, or are about to, which no
other plant has donef
The plant, government-owne
was built and is being operated by
the Landsdowne Steel & Iron Co..
Morton, Pa. General Campbell said
the operation was an illustration of
the part small business is playing
in war production.
The Landsdowne Co., at the time
the contract for the Gadsden plant !
was awarded, had assets of less
than $500,000 and fewer than 300
employees.
