Had Thought Whist Expert Might Wed Frequent Companion, A young woman and her husband, both of high social standing and known in New York and in summer and win- ter resorts of America, axe to-day in the centre of District Attorney Swann's investigation into the Joseph B, Blwell murder mystery. ‘They are.now outside of the District Attorney's jurisdiction. He cannot them for cross-questioning. He has, however, detailed detectives to look Into their goings and comings, and also to learn where they were and on the morning of Elwell's murder and the preceding night. A paket of letters, a cancelled check and the gossip of socially prominent persons have given the District Attorney's office hope that the young married couple may fur- nish a clue in the mystery. The letters, as already told in The Evening World, were found in El- well's home several days after his murder, They were addressed to the young woman, then unmarried, and some of them were just the average personal, confidential correspondence from girl and boy friends that a young girl might wish to keep from her parents—or, if married, from her husband too, How she ame to select Elwell as her literary custodian is not known, but the cancelled check, payable to the young woman and signed by El- well, is taken by the investigators to indicate that the turfman had man- ceuvred her into a position where she felt under obligations to him and in which he could control her actions by threatening to expose certain things to her husband. YOUNG WIFE'S NAME SHIELD- ED BY SWANN. Because the District Attorney's of- fice believes the young woman was brought into Elwell's lfe either through her own indiscretions or through Blwell’s superlative cunning, Mr. Swann has taken care to shield her name, ‘The same care 1s being accorded the husband who the District Attorney office Is careful to link with the and not as a st !
