BLACKIILPLOT PQUCE THEORY IN if DEL'S MURDER Mysterious 'Mr, Marshall’ Called to District Attorney for Quiz, t>l LLETIN By United Press MW YORK, March 24.—Assistant District Attorney I’ecora today announced that the mysterious “-Mr. Marshall” in the Dorothy Keenan ease is -I. I\. Mitchell of Philadelphia. By United Press NEW YORK, March 24. —Assistant District Attorney I’ecora today called the mysterious “Mr. Marshall' and “Mr. Wilson” to his office to tell what they know about ti* death of Dorothy Keenan, “butterfly model of Broad way.” The authorities are working on the theory that a plot existed to blackmail "M lrshall,” whose real name has never been revealed, and who is reputed to be a millionaire. The Keenan girl was to have been used by the plotters, but, according to this theory, she refused to play her part. Thereupon the blackmailers chloroformed her. “Marshall” and “Wilson" are tielast men known to have seen the “l ;t terfly" alive. y They appeared before Pecora a few days ago and cleared themselves of suspicion. Meanwhile, however, the prosecutor has discovered new evidence and he believes that if the millionaire will tell all he knows it will be easy to catch the murderers. "Marshall” and “Wilson" are not suspected of killing her. but are believed to imipscsh important information. Whose Pajamas? ‘ Marshall must answer these ques Lons: "Mr. Marshall, are these your yellow Chinese silk pajamas we found under ‘Dot’ King's l>ed the Thursday morning after she had been chloroformed? “Do you always bring your pajamas when you go calling on a young lady to read a few stanzas of Tennvson?” That will ieave respectable “Mr. Marshall” flat, because his counsel, Neilsen Oleott. admitted Friday that there won't be any argument about the ownership of the pajamas unless some other student of Tennyson also heft a pair. Oleott reluctantly added that he didn’t think his client’s name would be a secret much longer. Pecora believes “Mr. Marshall,” himself, didn’t know what the easy-living, casually-io viicg associates of "Dot” King were preparing for him. He swore to Pecora a few days ago that he never was blackmailed, but new evidence indicates “Dot's” death was all that forestalled a magnificent shake-down of the white-haired man of affairs who broke the monotony of office routine by a second sowing of wild oats.

Effect of War. “There is no need for Jews, Catholics, or any other fairminded American to get excited over the activities of the ! Ku-Klux Klan," declared Rabbi Morris M.
