BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star


UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Novem-
ber 27.-Another interview with Au-
brey Hampton, 20, former suitor Of
Corinna Loring, is planned soon by in
vestigators seeking a new clue to the
murder of the 26-year-old bride-elect.
Hampton, a Government clerk who
lives in the 1000 block Of New Hamp-
shire avenue, was arrested for ques-
tioning on the day after Miss Loring's
body was found In clump of pines
near her home at 3110 Beech street,
Mount Rainier.
No charge was placed against
Hampton and he was released after
Lieut.. Joseph Itzel interrogated him
for several hours in the police station
at Hyattsville.
At that time, Hampton explained he
had not seen Miss Loring for several
months, the last time being glimpse
of her in company with Richard Tear,
20, an attendant at st. Elizabeth's
Hospital and Corinna's fiance. Hamp-
ton had a number of dates with the
attractive public stenographer about
year ago.
LO JacOn0 10 Be Quizzed.
Lieut.. Itzel's plans for today call
for another talk with Leo Lo Jacono,
also an attendant at st. Elizabeth's,
and brother-in-law Of the slain girl,
who introduced Tear to Corinna about
five months ago.
Sergt. Leo Vogelsang Of the Balti-
more police force returned here today
to assist Lieut.. ItZel with the investi-
CATION. The two Baltimore detectives
went over the 1,000-page transcript
of statements in the case today pre-
paratory to reinterviewing Hampton
and Lo Jacono.
| Washington police today continued
their search for Capital man wanted
in connection with an attempted as
sault upon a young girl near the
Loring home in Mount Rainier Sum-
day afternoon. The man Is believed
to be the same who accosted several
other young girls Of the neighbor-
hood on at least four occasions since
October Is.
Tear voluntarily came to Marlboro
late yesterday to suggest to Lieut..
Itzel that he be given a test for
veracity with "lie detector."
The Baltimore detective laughed of
the proposition and told Tear he
wanted no part of it."
Calls Detector Third Degree"
Itzel said detection method Of
this type is outlawed in Maryland and
classed as form of the third degree.
Late yesterday Lieut. Itzel revisited
the Loring home to discuss the case
briefly with Corinna's mother, Mrs.
Frances Loring, and to go over the
girls effects stored there.
The bride-elect had collected COM
plete trousseau, which she had care
fully slowed away in an unusually
large cedar hope chest. Corinna also
had bought and paid cash for
suite of bed room furniture and other
household goods with which she ex-
pected to furnish the home she and
Tear were planning.
Lieut.. Itzel examined the articles
without finding any new clue on which
to work. The Baltimore detective
said the wrapping cord about a num-
ber of Corinna's bundles was not
similar to the twine used by the
murderer who strangled the girl.
Included among the articles in the
hope chest were a number of large
and intricate rag rugs which Corinna
had fashioned with her own hands
for her home.
Made Rugs Of Stocking Silk.
The girl had made several of the
rugs from bits of silk taken from her
discarded stockings. Corinnas prep
arations for her marriage were re-
garded as an important clue to her
character. They demonstrated to in
vestigators that she had worked en-
Enthusiastically and whole-heartedly to
make her approaching marriage a
success, and that she was very much
in love with Tear.
After checking Corinna's financial
affairs yesterday. Lieut.. Itzel said to-
day he was waiting a report on sec
ond savings account which Corinna
was supposed to have kept in Wash
ington bank. Arthur Keefer of Mount
Rainier, attorney for the Loring fam
lily, was to check up on this phase
of the girls affairs and report to
Lieut.. Itzel when he has something
definite.
In addition to two $1,000 life in
surance policies, the girl left property
worth perhaps $500, including some
$500 in postal savings accounts and
farm loan bonds, her Office equipment,
furniture and the money in two saw
ings accounts. The savings account
already examined showed less than
S100 on deposit in a Mount Rainier
bank.
