ROF ELWELL came into the

his eyes holding a questioning
look.
"‘Mr. Markham?” he said in a puz-

rose and stepped forward. and then
he added. "I am Edwin Elwell. rot?

"I do that. Mr. Elwcli~most cm-

a. broad smile lighting up' his rugged ‘ p

on. and one that deeply concerns the

(Conclusion of Carlotta Or'iez‘s
statementzl
“Edna Clayton Marvin is dead.
She died in childbirth on the second
night after leaving New York when
she was taken from a train at Cum»

train who chanced to notice her con-
dition. This i learned from a print-
ed inquiry l happened by accident
to see in an lndlunapoiis newspaper.
u copy of which I found in n dresser
drawer of my room in a hotel in
this city when i was playing here a
year later. This inquiry stated that.
a woman taken from tho lndianapo-
lls liver the night before had given
birth to twin girls and then died
without disclosing her identity or
residence. A description of the worn-

by an Edwin i" i-titwtl of Camden-

failure to tell the truth when.
