RICHMOND MURDER REMAINS MYSTERY Police Searching for Man Believed Well Known to Leather Dealer. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., May 15—The mystery surrounding the killing Monday | night of Harry Rohm, 45, Richmond | leather dealer, in his home, 2401 Rose- wood avenue, appeared to be no nearer a solution early today than it was when the body was found in the rear of the reception hall of his palatial residence. Search for a man who is believed to have shot Rohm was started by police late yesterday, after they had sifted downa large number of clues. Detec- tives working on the case now say they are convinced that the shooting was the work of a man, and not that of a woman, and several motives are being advanced, following the interviewing of | tion for profit | Mr, Walker gave the opinfon that the theater has been suffering from | the business man and machinery. “The | business man does a great deal to pre- | | serve the artists and doesn’t know how | to do it,” he said Protesting against of plays in New York City, Mr.| Walker sald_that New York cannot | supply all the cities that want the theater. The effort to do this, he said, has resulted in the sending out froms New York of ill-trained casts on a quantitative basis, with no considera- | tion_for artistry or ability. | “The motion picture also has had a bad effec: on the theater,” he said, “and it should tend its own business | and interfere with the painter and not the theater.” Mr. Simonson gave an illustrated lec- ture on the work of designing for the the centering | ‘opinion that art has its appeal | wealthy or leisure class, | claimed by se | who took the convention delegates be= | hind the scenes yesterday afternoon, in | | discussing the subject, “The Artist and | His Public.” | | J.

So far, the crime has been recon- structed by police in this fashion: A man, who probably knew Rohm well enough to be admitted to the house, called and entered the recep- tion hall after Rohm opened the door. The two men are believed to have talked together in the hallway a few minutes before the fatal shots were fired from a .32-caliber pistol. Rohm was shot twice in the body and once through the head. Police believe the murderer then made his get-away from | the house by the back door, which was | found unlocked. Young Men Seen. For several nights, police learned yes- terday, two young men were seen lurk- ing in the neighborhood. Their con- duct suggested that they were watch- ing the house occupied by Rohm. Little importance now is being at- tached by police to the story that a WOoman was seen running away from the vicinity of Rohm’s house at approx- imately the time Coroner James M. Whitfield has set as the probable hour of the murder. Another woman, whom Rohm visited at her home on the 200 block of West Grace street at 6 o'clock the night he was murdered, has been questioned by police, who found that she had been ill for some time and that a nurse was on duty at her home between the hours | interviewed by police, and more will be took place. Investigation has disclosed also that the man who visited the home of J. J. Cattrell of 2403 Rosewood avenue the night of the murder and asked the | location of Rohm’s house was friendly. | according to Detective Capt. Alexander | S. Wright. This man, who was ques- | tioned at police headguarters, was acting as the agent of another man who had business with Rohm, and when he failed to go to the right door, he did not go to the Home of Rohm, Capt. Wright said. Many Are Interviewed. A number of persons who knew Rohm in business and private life have been interviewed today, Capt. Wright said. The investigation started early yester- day with several visitors who called at police headquarters to tell what they knes of Rohm and his affairs. Rohm was last seen alive, according to police, shortly before 8 o'clock Mon- day night, when he had the tank of his automobile filled at & station on Third street. Previous to that, he is knowr to have twice called on a woman who lived on_the 200 block of West Grace street. His first visit was at 6 o'clock and his second visit was between 7 and 8 o'clock. After the second visit, he promised to return at 11 o'clock, which, of course, he did not do. Around 7 o'clock Rohm called at the home of Mrs. Rebecca P. Lovenstein ot 2300 Rosewood avenue, a member of a number of persons—friends and of 8 and 11 lock, when the shooting | the law firm of Lovenstein & Loven: tein, husband and wife, and recetved letter regarding fees in divorce pro- acedings, which Mr. and Mrs. Rohm were contemplating. After members of Rohm's family left him alone in the house at 8 o'clock, a friend called Rohm’s son, Morris, between 8:15 :and 8:20 o'clock, and was told by the elder Rohm that’the young man had gone. Upon the return of Mrs. Rohm and her daughter, the body of Rohm was found in the reception hall to the home, lying face downward. Three bullets had been fired into Rohm's body. One had penetrated the head and has not been located by police, while the- other two were found by Coroner Whitfield in the body.
