ELWELL HOME FILLED WITH ART AND BEAUTY OF MAN Elwell Jr.’s Manly Spirit Outstanding Feature of A Sensational Tragedy OBIECTS OF ART OF MANY LANDS N ELWELL HOME Wide Range of Whist Expert’s Taste Shown in Furnish- ing’ and Collections. MODERN AND ANCI Oriental Tone Prevails, With Love of Luxury Indi- cated Everywhere. Joseph Bowne Elwell, the mur- dered whist expert, died as he had lived, surrounded by things of beauty and art culled from the four corners of the earth. His house at No, 244 West pth Street is filled to the brim with Bis collection of paintings, rare old furniture or excellently made cop- {es of rare old furniture, of Japanese and Chinese porcelain and pottery and of Oriental rugs in deep blues, deep reds and deeper purples, Tho man's taste ran to the sensual and the outre, but even so, it was catholic, embracing all forms of art and the art of many widely different nations. And through it all, from top to bottom of the house, ,there runs the senuous strain that played such a large part in the man’s life before that fateful shot put an end to his’en- jovment of all the bewutiful things he had gathered uround nim, Elwell was found dying in a mas- sive chair of the Jacobean type in what he called his downstairs re- ception room. The blood that flowed from his wounded head smeared and spattered the prune-colored velour that had been used to upholster the chair and clotted on the rich hang- ing fringes. Under his feet, as ne sat there unconscious before death, was a thick Oriental rug of dark blue and tan, a masterpiece of the rug wegver's art. EGYPT, CHINA AND JAZZ IN THE Music ROOM. [Upstairs where the detectives who have turned the house upside down im their search for possible clues to the murderer have made their headquarters, the first place the visitor reaches is the music room. In it there is barely room for the mas- sive square plano, with its brocaded cover; a phonograph of the most expensive sort, a jazz recora still in plate; a lampstand of black onyx, a massive chair, sister of that in the reception room below, and a great, colorful pictur’ of an Egyptian danc- ing girl—vivid, seductive, so alive that one can almost hear the sequins on her scanty dress jingle as she dances, Under foot in this room is a dull red and gold rug from ancient China, breathing of the Tei-pai dynasty, maybe—or at least looking as if it did. Opening out of the music room is the drawing room. Here is the first jarring note, for a great monkish ta- ble stands in the centre and one won- ders until the butler explains that it was put there temporarily until the master could have it moved to his country home. Save for the monkish table, the dominant note of this room hinting of sandalwood, samolus and the multitudinous odors of the Far East.

He bought an orange grove on Hypo- luxe Island and some ocean front tracts, The rest of the Palm Beach property, which was carried in the name of the Long Beach Realty Com- pany, was also sold. Elweit lived at tho Everglass Club last season. According to Edward Reddy, who handled the deal on the $75,000 house, Mtwell spent much of his time in the company of a woman hav- ing a cottage on Sunset Avenue. Ho 1s also said to have been frequently in the company of a Girl Scout Jeader. He gave many gay parties at~his house, while he still owned it, and on his yacht.
