Two detectives were sent by Actir Captain M, J. Murphy to Miss Me- Niff's office at No, 225 Fifth Avenue, where she has a small perfumery and flavoring extract business, to take ! to the scene of last night's sho and ask her to explain to them cit cumstantially every event of the tragedy. They want to learn why the young woman, who is believed to have been sitting b the time she says he jest his direc- tion and went by mistake into the dark lane, should have been in the tonneau at the time the supposed ts bundits attacked and killed Dilworth, | GIRL TO RECONSTRUCT THE DRAMA. Disclaiming «ny intention of put- ting Miss McNiff through a “third degree” examination, Lieut. Murphy declared the police could not do sat- {sfactory work until they knew ex- actly what had happened in Golf Links Road at about 8 o'clock last night, and for that reason wished | the girl to reconstruct the drama for them, The police were particularly exer- cised because the killing of Dilworth comes after many complaints of high- way robbery in that same dark, lonely road. Less than two weeks ago a phys!- cian, who was accompanied by a nuree, complained that several hun- dred dollara had been taken from Rim by footpads with revolvers, In every instance, however, the com- Plainants refused to back the com- plaints with their names and ad- dresses and efficient preventive work has not been possible. This immunity from detection and punishment has made the park bandits so bold they did not hesitate to commit murder: SUSPECTS ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR TIM Numerous park wanderers were gathered into the police station to- day, but none fitted Miss MeNift's description of Dilworth's murderers and all were able to account for their} time last evenini, At first Miss MoNiff, who ts twen- ty-five years old and lives at No, 102 West Seventy-fifth Street, could give the police little Information except that Dilworth, who is a married man and whose family is in Kansas City at present, had taken her out for a ride to discuss business matters, had taken the wrong road in Van Cort- landt Park and had stopped the car to | turn around at about 8 o'clock, when the robbers made their attack, But when her hystoria subsided to- day she was able to give a better ac- (Continued on Fourth Page.) & clearer under- | ide Dilworth at} | United Sta WILAMS BEATS GRIN I ATC FOR TEANS FINAL Young Throckmorton Captures wadaer the Junior Championship at Forest Hills.

The Philadelphian, with great force to his shots, won the first game, 4 to 1, when Griffin failed to handle his speedy serves, Williams, after bring- ing the count to deuce, captured the second game. The way the former champion broke through the Caltfor- nian’s service in this game earned the just applause from the gallery. The Philadelphian’s service was again going strong in the third game, Griffin generally netting his returns and making only a single point, The Callfornian 11 the next period captured his first game when Will- jams lost points by driving out of court, The Easterner still had Griffin worried with his terrific service, the fourth game going to Williams, 4—1 Lively rallies at the net featured the sixth game, which Gri.in cap- tured after the scor陥twice went to deuce, Willlams came teght back and pulled in the next one, dis service again being entirely too fast for Grif- fin to return safely, The Californian won the eighth game when Williams missed his favorite cross-court place- ments, Williams, who was playing in great form, won the ninth game and set, the deciding point being made on a wonderful placement shot that Grit- fin could not even reach, The point score: First set: 1914, star lisadvantage of having heen defe his p Willlams,,..45 42144425 Griffin......1314162 43.
