tematic and insidious plan to
accomplish her purpose"

"Wickedly intending to de-
prive me of the affections of
my wife, Miss Hammond mali
ciously planned to ALLEVIATE my
wife and acquire an improper

Movements of all members of
the family Of Corinna Loring on
the night she was strangled to
death more than two weeks ago
in Lovers Lane" four blocks
from her home in Mt. Rainier,
Md, are to be carefully checked
again, investigators admitted to-
day.
Although Lieut.. Joseph Itzel,
Baltimore detective assigned to
the case, had stated that mem
bers of the family "are out of the
picture at this time" it is known
that he is keenly interested in
this angle of the case.
Asked about an apparent dis
crepancy in the story related by
one member Of the family, Lieu
tenant Itzel said:
s'We are planning to investigate
that matter thoroughly. Il it
should be shown that any person
| deliberately made a false state
ment, I should regard that as
highly significant"
Doctors Seek Poison
While the movements Of the
family and their stories are being
checked, other developments IN
the case today were:
i. Physicians started secret
examination of the slain girls
stomach to determine whether
she had been poisoned before be-
ing garrotted and beaten to death.
2. An examination Of a flatiron
the girl was using when last seen
alive was ordered to determine
whether it could have been used
by the slayer to inflict the two
wounds on her head.
8. Lieutenant Itzel announced
that a suspect named by mem
berS of the family is definitely
out of the picture"
4. Authorities are checking on
the slain girls bank accounts to
determine what money was with
drawn shortly before she was
killed and where that money went.
Itzel at Funeral
Investigation of the case was
temporarily halted today when
Lieutenant Itzel returned to Bal
timore to attend the funeral of
a member of his family. He is
planning to return tonight to
Upper Marlboro, headquarters Of
the investigation.
While all clues submitted to
the investigator so far have
proved worthless, Lieutenant Itzel
again reiterated that he feels def
mite progress in the case has been
made, but that it will take a
long time to solve.
Richard Tear, 29-year-old st.
Elizabeth'S Hospital attendant
and fiance of the girl, is almost
a daily visitor to the Marlboro
headquarters, seeking information
as to progress on the case.
Tear sits in the cafe Of hotel
across from the court house and
talks willingly to reporters, dis

saying he has no ideas as to the
identity Of the person who killed
Miss Loring two days before they
were to have been married.
Tear is usually accompanied
on his visits by Leo LoJacono,
brother-in-law of the slain girl and
another attendant at the hiSpital.
It was LoJacono who introduced
