NO SUSPECTS,

Reward To Be Asked
Mr.. Boswell said he would also
ask the board to offer a reward
for the solution of the crime.
Lieutenant Itzel said some
progress has been made" in the
solution of the murder, but that
so far, he has been unable to
establish a motive. He also said
he has no suspect in mind and
that he does not have any theory
on how the murder was committed.
Fourteen days after Miss Loring
was lured from her home and
strangled to death, this is how the
case stands:
l. After spending the weekend
in Baltimore, running down evi-
dence in that city, lieutenant Itzel
returned to Upper Marlboro,
headquarters of the investigation.
2. Plans were under way to of.
fer a reward for the capture of
the slayer.
3. Two new witnesses were to be
questioned today, but investigators
admitted they expected to gain lit
tie information from them.
4. At least two persons who al
ready have been questioned will
be recalled.
5. Handwriting on a scrap of
paper found near the body of the
girl was being analyzed by Lieut..
Robert Hicks, Washington crimi-
nologiSt, in the belief that it might
be that of the killer.
At meeting of the Mt. Rainier
town council tonight, Mayor Nor
man A. Pruitt will ask that re-
ward be offered for the arrest Of
the slayer.
The Loring family also is con.
sidering posting the insurance
left by the girl as a reward for
the capture of the killer. This
suggestion, it was understood,
was first made by the mother.
Time Fails To Fit
Lieutenant 1tzel left Upper
Marlboro late Saturday to inter-
view the matron in a Baltimore
railroad station who reported to
police she saw a woman she was
positive was Miss Loring in that
city the night she disappeared.
The matron, Mrs. Liccie Law
renee, said, however, that she saw
the woman she believed was Miss
Loring about 800 that night. and
police pointed out that Miss Lor-
ing was supposed to be alive and
in her home at 8 O'Clock, making
it impossible for her to be in Balti-
more, IS miles away. at the time
Mrs. Lawrence said she saw the
woman she thought the murder
victim.
Cord Clue Falls Down
After several days work in his
laboratory, Lieutenant Hicks last
night announced that the cord
used by the killer did not CORE
spond to a ball Of twine found by
police in the basement of the
Loring home.
Lieutenant Hicks is now turn-
ing his attention to piece OF
paper found near the body be-
lieved to relate to a radio inStalia-
tion. Photographic enlargements
brought out the word aerial"
and further examination will be
made in an effort to identify the
handwriting.
A mans driving glove, also
found near the body, is also still
being examined by Lieutenant
Hicks. So far police have been
unable to find the store where
the glove was sold. Hicks said a
bloody smear found on a second
piece of paper near the body was
apparently made by gloved hand.
Miss Loring was last known to
have been alive about o'clock
Monday night, two weeks ago, &C.
cording to her mother, Mrs. Fran
ces Loring, just before the latter
left for church.
Evidence Of Hurry
Only a few hours before, on
Sunday night, Miss Loring had
broken the news to her family
that she would be married the
following Wednesday to Richard
Tear, 29-year-old attendant at ST..
Elizabeth Hospital.
When Mrs. Loring left for
church, Corinna was busy at
home packing her clothes. At
the time she was wearing a
brown house dress. When the
body was found the following
Saturday, in Lovers Lane on
Saddleback Ridge, about six
blocks from the Loring home, it
was dressed in a blue dress. The
brown house dress was found in
her room. thrown across the bed
as though she had changed in
a hurry.
Tear arrived at the Loring
home around 8:45 that Monday
night, and waited until 9:15,
when he wrote a note that he
had to leave for work, slipped
it over the door knob and left.
