NEW YORK CRIME

MUI.IDER OF A MODEL,

MILLIONAIRE PROVIDER.

NEW YORK,.April 10. Many prominent people in the Now York financial work! are rapidly becoming; involved in the complicated story of tho murder of tho model, Dorothy Keenan or King, as she was better known. Albert Guirnaros, whom the police are unable to find, was Dorothy’s partner in luxuriously-fitted brokerage oil stock offices. These were unquestionably financed by cash gifts from John Kearsley Mitchell, who was Dorothy’s millionaire provider, and was known in the girl’s circle as Mr Marshall. After being cross-examined on Friday bv tho District Attorney, Mitchell was forced to tell his wife and father-in-law of how incredibly foolish he felt for having lavished thousands of dollars of jewels and cash on tho murdered girl. Major Dougherty, son of tho Attorney-General, has informed tho police that _ he was platonically acquaiuted with Dorothy, whoso male hangers-on always promptly relieved her of the money she got from her millionaire retainers. Dougherty _ believes that one of these blackmailers killed her.

Strenuous endeavours are being made by tho police to find an unnamed man who know that _ Marshall was really Mitchell, a _ son-in-law of Mr Stotesbury, who _is a financial genius in Morgan’s Philadelphia office. This suspect knew that the girl received a letter tho day before the murder from Mitchell from Palm Beach, arranging to spend the evening of March 14 with her.

It is assumed that he laid plans to blackmail Mitchell on a big scale, and when Dorothy demurred to the proposal ho chloroformed her, thus causing her death.
