Mr. Jerome at the same time heard that the estates of other Me known men had been involved in the past by representatives of a colored woman. f&> ¥ Attorney Nanz, who represents Mrs. Elias, reported that she.was too to go to the District-Attorney’s office. She was in bed «t the time, belug waited on by an American and white nurse, a French maid and a Japanese man-servant when Mr. Jerome arrived. | f “I am convinced,” sald the District-Attgrney before going to the house, “that Mr. Green never heard of this Davis or Elias woman.

Some of them, Be claimed, tried to force their way In, I told him if they attempted that th , would be exceeding their authority. “In view of the fact that Williams mentioned this woman as having furnished the motive for his crime, it Is absolutely necessary that she should be examined closely, although 1 am sure from what I have already learned in the investigation of thiscase that her statement will absofitely clear Mr. Green's reputation Investigation of the vital statistics of the Board of Health lends add{- tional mystery to the parentage of the Elias baby, and consequently adds a little more conjecture to the filial relations of Bessie Davis or Hannah Ellas.
