New Elwell Murder Theory Ties To Big Bootlegging Scheme
Fresh district attorney briefings allege Joseph Bowne Elwell funded a bootlegging operation after returning from Kentucky. He allegedly borrowed $12,700 for liquor purchases, sold assets, and sought loans as he faced financial peril before his murder on a Friday morning. The tale implies a dramatic motive tied to gambling on racing assets and a failed liquor deal.
