These processes, were evolved after many years of experiment and study and were regarded as of such great value that all employees who came in contact wi'th them by, reason of their work about the establishment Mere reauired to join in a contract to keep secret the manner In which castings were made.

When, the Doehler company's complaint was served on Gutmueller.

Lawyer Morsch. demanded a bill of particulars as to the castings alleged to have been stolen, but Justice Squiers today denied that motion, saying that if the charges are untrue the defendants do not need a bill and that the Doehler complaint and affidavits are explicit and definite in their accusations, The Doehler motion for a continuation of the injunction will be argued on Friday.

His schedules, filed by Samuel Duberstein, his attorney, reveal total liabilities of $257,694.48 and assets "unknown." The failure of Cassileth, according to the gossip in the fur trade, was due to a general slump that has struck mushroom war furriers who made fortunes, on paper, overnight, largely because of the unusual demand for furs by wives of workmen and laborers made "rich" by inflated wages.

Notes and bills given by Cassileth total $1 18,291.67. Creditors unsecured hold claims amounting to $4M 50.8(1 against him and Becured creditors claim 281.48. Although his assets are listed as "unknown" it is said that he has an equity in merchandise held by Fun-sten Bros fur merchants of St. Louis, a creditor, secured by port of this merchandise, to the extent of $71,081.95.

"They had not been out of the box In which they were when you took them from the cldset?" "They were not." This is important because it has been hinted several times that Elwell had a woman visitor that night. The woman to whom the clothing belonged has been described as one who was known to Mrs. Larsen under the name of "Miss Wilson." When she was asked directly today who Miss Wilson was she hesitated perceptibly and then replied: "You had best see the District Attorney about that.

I have told him everything." "When I arrived at the house," said Mrs. Larsen, "not only the outer door but the inner door were locked and I had to open them with my key. As I threw open the inner door I heard a moan from the reception room. I went in and found Mr. Elwell sitting there in the chair.

I looked at the floor and saw no gun. If there had been a gun there, I am positive I would have seen it." "What was the condition of the room?" Clmir in Room Shifted. "There were signs of any struggle. There was a letter on the floor and other letters clasped in Mr. Elwell's hand.

When I calmed down enough to notice things I found only one thing in the room which was not it had been left. The chair opposite his chair had been moved. The day before it had turned toward the table and on the morning of the shooting it had been shifted around. "What is your theory of the murder?" "I cannot get it out of my head that someone rang the front doorbell after the letter carrier came and that Mr. Elwell went to the.loor thinking tt was someone with a telegram.

I do not think there was anybody in the house until that time but I do not know." "I have told the district attorney everything and I have told the truth," she said. "Mr. Elwell was very close-mouthed about his personal affairs. Why, I did not even know he was a married man. Mrs.

Elwell was never it) the house." Mrs, Larsen ridiculed the story published this morning that Elwell had spoken of bringing his wife up from the South. "How could he," she said, "when he was still married. I have not heard any talk to that effect." The seeming sluggishness and hit-or-miss style in which the authorities, to outward appearances, have gone about, solving the Elwell case is one Of its strange phases. Apparently no effort was made to reach John Isdale, the first officer of the steamship Uriann in Philadelphia, who told an Eagle representative the important story of the motorcar without lights and with curtains down in front of the Elwell home at 3:25 a. m.

Statements have been given out by Mr. Swann's assistants which have been contradicted or made ridiculous in the light of the next day's developments. Eleven days have passed and the authorities admit the murder is to them as deep a mystery as ever. POLES REPULSE STRONG ATTACKS BY ENEMY Warsaw.
