"Some of us women had a little con

of Cox and some of the women from
the middle west told us about him
and we went away feeling that after
all we were for him. One thing
that had set us against him at first
was that during the convention
pamphlets had been distributed, say
ing that he was a 'wet' candidate.
But some lovely women from Ohio and
the middle west told us that he really
wasn't 'wet' and I know that he
couldn't be, or such nice women would
not have been for him."

Klwell Sleuths Swamped AA'ith Oc

NEW YORK. Oulja boards by the
score have volunteered to solve the
mysterious murder of Joseph Bowen
Elwell. turfman, card expert and
'Don Juan."
Since the body of the gambler was
found in his handsome residence here
last month with a bullet through the
forehead, alleged clues, motives and
revelations of the murderer himself
have been gathered from ethereal
planes by the thousands and dumped
upon an admittedly bewildered staff
of the district attorneys office.
All of these occult communications
are not discarded. While disclaim
ing any faith in Ouija's ability as a
crime Investigator, the district at
torney nevertheless admits that he
has assigned a man to the special
duty of reading occult contributions
and to submit to him personally any
conveying apparently useful informa
tion. An anonymous communication,
purporting to be an occult revelation,
may contain a valuable clue, Mr.
Swann believes, his theory being that
the criminal might use this method
of informing on a confederate.
Anonymous communicants purport
to reveal prelude, plot and climax of
the crime.
The missing automatic pistol with
which Elwell was shot has been lo
cated by Ouija boards or other "Sup
ernatural" means in every part of the
fc-iweu nome from the sitting room
in which the murder was committed
down Into the basement and up to
the root.
Until the murdertr Is apprehended,
both the police and district attorney's
staff say they expect no surcease
from the persistent profligacy of oc
cult assistance now being forced upon
them.
