of the Bureau of Investigation, Balti-
more detectives and Prince Georges
County police continued their combined
investigation of the Old Colonial Tea
House shooting, in which one man was
killed and five other persons wounded
early last Monday
While Justice Department operatives
were understood to be preparing to
question the wife of one of the wounded
men, county police, under direction OF
Chief jeremiah Crowley, were seeking
another woman, who is said to have
rented the Bladensburg tea house less
than month ago.
Cisberto Renzuli and Nicholas Trunco,
arrested in Philadelphia a short time
after the shooting, were ordered re-
leased today by Chief Crowley. 1t was
understood, however, that Department
of Justice agents had placed detainers
against them and would question them
regarding white slave activities in Penn

Lieut.. Cornelius Roche and Sergt.
William Feehley of the Baltimore De-
tective Bureau are to examine bullet
marked automobile parked on vacant
lot in the 1000 block of Franklin street
northeast the day of the shooting.
Meanwhile a man and a woman,
arrested by Baltimore police Saturday
and held for Federal authorities on
Su5picions of violating the Mann act, ="
were scheduled to be quizZed in con-
nection with the case.
The couple-Mitchel Munjeanu, 35,
an Atlantic City singing waiter" and
his wife, Mrs. Lorraine r. Munjeanu,
24-was picked up near the Baltimore
water front by eastern district police.
Locked up at the eastern police station,

houses in Atlantic City, and search
OF the mans pockets Is reported to
have disclosed cards bearing the
names and addresses of similar estab-
lishments in both Baltimore City and
Baltimore County.
False Information Charged.
According to Chief Crowley, the
road house was rented less than four
weeks ago by an attractive woman who
gave her name as Mrs. Helen Carey.
She is said to have told the real estate
agent from whom she rented the place
that her husband was a boxing in
structor at the Naval Academy at An
napolis and that her two sons were
students at the University of Maryland.
A check up by county police is said
to have revealed, however, that the
woman's husband, whose name was
given as Roy Carey, has no connec-
ton with the Naval Academy, and
that the enrolment list of the Univer-
sity of Maryland contains no such
names as those given by the woman.
The tea house, Chief Crawley de-
clared, was placed under police sur
veillance few days after it was rented
Bailif Lawrence Dayton of Bladensburg,
the chief said, watched the place almost
constantly, but saw no evidence of law
violation.
Examination of Car.
The bullet-marked car was examined
Saturday by Constable Andrew Gasch
OF Bladensburg and Detective G. A.
Berry of the twelfth precinct, after the
county officer had received information
it was the same make, type and color
as the one used by the gunner who
raided the roadhouse. The man reported
to have placed the machine on the lot,
GaSch said, has the same surname as
that given by one of the women ar
rested as a witness to the shooting.
Reports that officials of Casualty Hos
pital feared that an effort would be
made to remove the five wounded per-
sons under treatment there were denied
today. While three policemen and a
police woman have been on guard in
the hospital continuously since the
shooting, this is merely routine in such
cases, it was pointed out.
Those held at the hospital are Mrs.
Verne Edwards "a; John j. Bartlett,
alias Man of War; Thomas Simone,
described by police as member of the
bandit gang. and Charles Levitt, said
TO have been the proprietor of the place,
and Norman Carey alleged Baltimore
