Shevlin Investigates Story of | ‘ One Liquor Man’s Panic After Murder. ieformation received to-day by Prohibition Enforcement Agent James E. Sheviin on the bootlegging end of the Elwell case has increased the interast a¢ the Federal officials to the extent that four of Shevlin's best men have been assigned exclusively te the rase. Part of the infornation te Gat « man well known to Elwell, who was shot to death tn bis home, No. 224 West 70th Btrest, on the morning of June 11, went to « place where drinks were to be had on the morning fol- lowing the murder and there dis cussed the possible cansequonnes of Siena ee ‘the crime on « lot of whiskey stared | in a lower west side warehouse. The man, while muspected of hand- | Mng Mlcit Uquor, !s one who does not 4rink, but on this morning, acconiing | to the story, he appeared nervous and Gistraught and called for whiskey, which he ewalloped at a gulp. The tan with whom he held the conver sation appeared to have bee waiting for him. Dederal agents are now tovestigat- ing conditions in the warehouse named in the conversation, and the new ramifications have started a trail deck to Lexington, Ky., in the belief that Mlwell’s movements in the blue grass district might lead to one or more warehouses in that section. The theory has been advanced that Diwell was a partner in one of the biggest whiskey rings which has been in op- eration «ince Prohibition went {nto effect. Murder may have resulted ae & consequence of Elwell having at- ross Lis partners, vatened to divulge ring, according to the theories on which the authorities are secrets of working. It would have been casy for a man engaged tn the liquor bus- ness with Elwell to have obtained access to his house et an early hour of the morning. CHECK FOR $12,700 STILL UNDIS- COVERED.
