REVENGE MOTIVE
IN TRUNK MURDER
Man Accused of Crime Lost All
His Savings in Leather
Business
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Dec. 20.—Kevenge, not
robbery, detectives now believe wus the
motive for the murder of Daniel J. Mc-
Nichol, the victims of the Frankford
"trunk mystery." They believe Mc-
Nichol was shot to death after being
beaten with a club or other blunt In
strument either by Kdward F. Keller,
whom they are holding under suspicion
of the crime, or »y Al Young, his broth
er-ln-law, In the belief that he was
responsible for the failure of the leath
er business In wlilch Keller was Inter
ested.
Young, whom the police describe as
a man addicted to the use of drugs, Is
still missing.
Information obtained from Harry
Dunlevy, superintendent of Potters
Field, who'knows Keller and his wife,
furnished the basis for the new mo
tive theory. Dunleavy declared that,
after the failure of the leather firm,
Keller, who had been abstemious, took
to drink, and upon several occasions ac
cused McNichol with responsibility for
the failure of the business.
I.uat II IK Sating*
Dunleavy told newspaper men and de
tectives that Keller put Ills life's sav
ings, amounting to aoout Jl.OOl), in the
leather business and that when the
firm failed he lost this money. In cora
-1 mon with all of Keller's friends and ac
quaintances, Dunleavy described Kel
ler as a hard-working, earnest person,
who with Mrs. Keller work continuous
ly to save money.
Another element of mystery was add
ed to the case yesterday when It was
learned that Keller, after purchasing a
horse and wagon from James Craven,
3629 Frankford avenue, for use in his
laundry business, sold It about a month
later.
Mrs. Keller visited City Hall yester
day, but was not permitted to Inter
view her husband. She continues to
protest belief In bis Innocence.
