GERMANY LAYS PLEA FOR, PEACE BEFORE UNITED STATES

POLICE HAVE NO CLEW TO SLAYER OF ARTISTS’MODEL Friend of Girl Is Being Detained on Technical Charge,

By United Press NEW YORK. March 17.—Fortyeight hours after Dorothy King, beautiful artists’ modeDwas murdered in her luxurious apartment in the exclusive Fifty-Seventh St. district today the police just know that —she met her death with chloroform —and nothing more. One man is under arrest on a technical charge of possessing fire-arms. He is Albert E. Guimares, a close friend of the murdered girl. His lawyers have obtained a habeascorpus writ which will be argued jtodav. ; The theory that the girl was murdered for her jewels is only one of many upon which police are working. The suggestion that the beautiful voung model was a ‘'lure" for a band which preyed on wealthy members of the so-called sporting set was taken seriously by detectives following information supplied by Miss King's mother. She said she knew the man who has slain her daughter. She described him as a man of the most villainous character, who once boasted that he committed murder and ‘‘got j away with it." Dorothy, her mother ! said, was in fear of this man. and =howered expensive gifts upon him.
