COLORFUL TEST

How do you test the tempera-
ture of a baby's bath?
You fill the tub with water anc
put the baby in it. If the bab,
turns red, it's too hot; if the baby
turns purple, it's too cold, and il
the baby turns white, it needed
bath.

was strengthened today by stories
told by two park policemen, who
said they had seen a car, con-
tanning five men, one of whom
had a newspaper over his face,
just over the Montgomery county
line from Rock Greek Park about
the time the body was thrown
out beside the road.
Seen Early Sunday
The park policemen were in
scout car on Beach Drive near
the east-west highway in Mary
land about 4 o'clock Sunday morn
ing when they saw the car. They
believe now that the newspaper
over the head of one of the occu-
pants concealed the wound in
Lelli's throat.
The car started and sped away
over the eaSt-west highway toward
Sixteenth Street. The policemen
considered its actions suspicious,
but did not follow it because they
had no positive evidence that any.
thing was wrong. and because the
car was in Maryland, outside
their Jurisdiction.
LelH apparently was killed
about 1890 o'clock Saturday
night. He had told friends earlier
in the day that he intended to go
on a New Year party.
Lived Off His Friends
Detective Sergesnts George Dar-
nall and D. j. Murphy said their
check-up of acquaintanceS of the
dead man revealed that he had
lived "off his friends" since his
arrival here in November from
Tarrytown, N. Y, where he had
been a factory employe. He was
said thus to have incurred iIl
feeling.
Lelli came here to join Alfredo
Mori, of Seat Pleasant, Md. who
is one of the four men held for
investigation. Mori and Lelli are
from the same city in Italy.
Questioning of Lelli'S acquaint-
.anceS confirmed police in their
belief that Lelli was keeping
steady company with a woman.
