WYSTERY DEEPENS IN GIRL'S HURDER Part of Movie Actress’ Jewels Arei Found; SocietyBurglar New York, Feb. 9.—The mystery of | | the murder of Louise Lawson, man- ! nequin and actress, in her fashionable | T7th street apartment yesterday be- | came deeper today when detectives | found part of her jewels in a shop | here where she had left them to be repaired. The discovery tended to dissipate the police theory of a rob- bery motive. Miss Lawson, a towel stuffed in her mouth, her hands and fect tightly | bound, was found dead by her negro maid, Poiice found the apartment in disorder and the young women's jewel boxes empty. This evidence, coupled with an elevator boy’s story of two uncouth strangers, who visited the apartment, led to the robbery theory, In a night search of the apartment | Inspector Coughlin and Captain Carey of the homicide squad found evidences strongly supporting the robbery “hnory, they said.
