Doctor Report Reveals
Burns Where Blows
Landed on Girl

Possibility that Corinna Loring,
26-year-old Mount Rainier choir
singer, was struck with "hot in
strument" was intimated today as
Chief of Police Eugene Plumer of
Mount Rainier promised a "break"
in the mysterious Staying, still un-
solved after almost two weeks of
investigation.
DR.. Oscar LaVine, of Mount Raj
nier, who performed the autopsy
on the murdered girls body, re-
vealed for the first time that a
wound over the girls right eye
might have been caused by hot
flatiron or some similar inStru-
ment.
Authorities have been working
on the theory that wounds over
both eyes might have been in
flicted by an iron with which
Corinna was pressing her clothes
in her Mount Rainier home the
night she met her death.
Burns Indicated
DR.. LaVine admitted that he
has informed police that q dis
coloration around the wound over
the right eye indicates that she
was burned.
He also advanced the theory
that Corinna was struck suddenly,
before she could defend herself,
and that she was strangled imme-
diately afterward. AS he stated
in his report, he said again that
the two blows on her head could
not alone have killed her, and
that death was due to Strangula-
tion.
No fingerprints of any value
have been obtained from the iron,
since a number of persons han
died it before it was turned over
as evidence.
Predicting a ''break" in the in
veStigation, Chief Plumer would
not say whether it would lead to
the arrest Of the killer, but said
he was expecting important in.

Lieut.. Joseph Itzel, Baltimore
detective assigned to the case,
meanwhile returned to Upper

irvestigation to continue his work
on the case. He said there are
still several persons he wishes 20
question, but admitted he did not
expect them to divulge anything
important.
Members of the Loring family
were to be questioned again this
week by Lieutenant Itzel, in an
effort to gain further information
from them on certain matters.
George Loring, father of the
girl, has visited Marlboro only
once, but officers said he could
give them little information as he
had been away from home for al
most six years. Mrs. Frances Lor.

APPEAL
FOUGHT
WiIentz Attacks Plea,
Denies Claim Trial
Was Not Fair
international News Service

Denying that Bruno Richard
Hauptmann was convicted by
circus methods" Attorney Gen.
eral David T. Wilentz, Of New
Jersey, today asked the Supreme
Court to uphold his death sen
tence.
Hauptmann, he asserted, was
fairly convicted Of the kidnapping
murder of the infant son of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh.
The States answer to Haupt-
mann's petition to the high court
for review of his trial and con-
viction in the little Pennington
courthouse was filed by Assistant
Attorney General Joseph L. Lani-
gan, Of New Jersey.
Ruling December 8
The high court is expected to
rule December 9 whether or not
it will review the case. If it
declines to intervene, a date will
be set for Hauptmann's electro
cution. If it accepts the case,
oral argument will be ordered.
Wilentz made a bristling de-
fense of his summation to the
Lindbergh jury, which, Haupt'
mann's lawyers charged, was un-
fair.
He denied that there were any
varianceS as to the theory Of
death of the child and asserted
that the cross-examination was
proper.
Denies Allegations
He scored Hauptmann's charge
that the presence of Colonel
Lindbergh in the courtroom pre-
JUDGED his trial.
Taking the record and petition

ever made by him or in his behalf

trial concerning the matter on

His allegations of hostile pub
