L0R|NG MYSTERY
|NTR|GUES MANY
Amateur SIeuths, Already
Helpful in Case, Haunt
Site of Murder.

If the Corinna Loring murder mys-
terry Is not solved soon, the failure
cannot be laid to any lack Of anna
teur sleuths.
Ever since the garroted body Of the
attractive bride-to-be was found on
Saddleback Ridge Saturday, the spot
has had q fascination for would-be
detectives, acquaintances Of the Lor-
ing family and the morbidly curious.
A constant stream of men, women
and children came to the death scene
yesterday. Pointing to a darkened
bit of pine-needle-covered earth be-
tween two evergreens, one by-stander
would tell another. That's the place.
The crowd ranged from ragged
street urchins to silk-gowned society
matrons who were driven to the ridge
in chauffeured limousines. Women
outnumbered men yesterday by at
least three to one.
Prying under leaves, overturning
stones, scanning every scrap of paper
and trying to distinguish between tree
roots and hair. the army of amateur
detectives strained every nerve to un-
earth clues which might help police.
Most "Clues" Valueless.
Sharp-edged stones, sticks, papers
and bits of string have been brought
to Police Chief Eugene Plumer of
Mount Rainier by well-meaning
searchers. Most of the "clues" thus far
collected have, of course, been value
less, although the discovery of the
body itself, of Miss Loring's watch and
earrings, of a mans glove and of a
paper containing a bloody thumb
print-the most important evidence
now in the hands of police-all were
made by civilians.
The place where the body was
found is on the 37-acre Hoover estate,
within the corporate limits of Mount
Rainier. Many of those who visited
it, soaring away the rabbits which
normally constitute its chief inhab-
it, nts, have been inspired by the
memory of important finds" by
amateur sleuths in other sensational
murder cases 1t was three newsboys,
prying about the Brady home in
Seat Pleasant, who found parts Of

Many Hunt Souvenirs.
Souvenir hunters were noticeable
among the crowd yesterday. Some
women were seen taking twigs from
pine trees which shrouded Miss Lor-
ings body, and picking up pebbles
frum the spot, slipping them into their
pc textbooks before they left the scene.
The varied reactions of the visitors
were fascinating. An elderly, gray
haired man, apparently regarding the
sod where Miss Loring's path to the
altar ended so tragically. as a sacred
spot, took of his hat and bowed his
head.
Scores Of school boys scampered
through the woods, prying for clues,
and having a great time throwing
photographers fash bulbs against
stone, viewed the scene like case
hardened detectives.
There were many who made the
normal exclamations of awful,

was brought to the spot where it was
found. Duever pointed out that heavy
rain had fallen Thursday. and there
was no indication about the clothing
to show the body had been exposed to
the elements. 1t was said. however,
that the parts Of the clothing not ex-
posed to the sun and air were still
damp when the body was found.
Duever pointed out that the pine
clump where the body was found had
been visited frequently last week by
small boys and hunters exercising
their rabbit dogs.
Chief Plumer, however. stuck to
the original theory that the girl
was murdered at the spot, probably
shortly after she left home. Blood
stains were discovered 40 feet from
where the body lay, and Miss Loring's
wrist watch and earrings were located
where they we're trampled into the
earth as if during struggle. 1t was
said that body could not have bled
so pofusely at any considerable time
after death.
Arrests Plan Altered.
Chief Plumer indicated yesterday
that he expected to arrest woman
in connection with the case. This
plan was altered, however, when Lieut..
Itzel took charge of the investigation
at noon yesterday at the request of
States Attorney Alan Bowie of Prince
Georges County. Itzel and Bowie were
in conference today on further plans
for the investigation.
Lieut.. Itzel indicated he would not
seek to question Mrs. Loring regarding
Corinna's movements on the night
she disappeared, until after the girl

Plumer and Sergt Ralph Brown Of the

hour and then was closeted with
Hampton for a somewhat longer
period.
Stenographic statements were taken
from both of the men before they were

PROTEST EFFECT DENIED.
British Sources Say Sanctions Won't
Be Diminished.

LONDON. November II P).-
Authoritative British sources said to-
day it was inconceivable the present
Italian protests would have any effect
on the application of League of Ma
tons sanctions against Italy.
1t was stated by these sources that
the protest of Premier Mussolini would
not affect the conversations being held
by Sir Eric Drummond, the British
Ambassador to Rome, with II Duce and
which, it is expected, will be resumed
today or tomorrow.
These conversations. stated informed
sources, are solely designed to remove
the tension between Italy and Great
Britain.
It was stated authoritatively that
the British government would find I'M
acceptable any delay, postponement, or
cancellation of any sanctions against
Italy.

Thousands of Fresh Troops Are
Moved Forward.

Moved Forward.
ASMARA, Eritrea, November IL LE).
Thousands of fresh troops moved
up today to bolster Italy's northern
front in Ethiopia.
The Silva division marched beyond
Edaga Hamas, about Is miles south
east of Adigrat on the route to Makale.
Two thousand camels also moved
toward Makale to reinforce the fleets
Of trucks, bringing up munitions and
supplies.
The mass movement of troops COM
plicated the problem of Italian engin-
eers. seeking to construct satisfactory
roads.
Every new man going forward meant
several pounds more Of food supplies
and water to be carried daily.
The troops themselves passed safely
over the new roads, but under heavy
rains the great trucks were reducing
construction work of weeks to mud
and puddles.
When the rainy season sets in again
next year it is evident the problem
of maintaining roads-difficult even
during the present unreasonable rains
will be increased tremendously.
Unless new roads are built with solid
foundations 1t would seem major
bodies of the Italian troops must be
withdrawn.

SEVEN POINTS IN PROTEST.

BY the Associated Press.
"A synopsis of the Italian protest
dispatched to all sanction-approving
nations was made available here last
night by Ambassador Augusta Rosso
after he had submitted it to the United
States Government for its information
The note contained seven points, as
follows:
Point l. Refers to Italy's note to the
League on October and to the objec-
tion by the Italian delegate against
the Geneva Italo- Ethiopian delibera-
tions. Rejects the accusation that
the Italian government has violated
ats obligations under the League pact
and says that Italy renews the
"strongest and fullest protest against
the seriousness and injustice of the
procedure adopted against Italy"
Italy's Stand Confirmed.
Point 2. That events since the last
meeting of the League Assembly have
confirmed Italy's stand with regard
to Ethiopia, both on juridical and
moral grounds. 1t says that large
sections of the Ethiopian population,
headed by their civil and religious
authorities, have put themselves under
the protection of Italy and calls atten-
tion that the Italian government has
abolished slavery in all territory it
has occupied in Ethiopia.
Point 3. without acknowledging
the reality Of the facts, the League
has applied strictly the letter of the
covenant and killed its spirit. Through
q very hasty procedure, it says, the
governments of many states have been
brought to envisage the application
upon Italy Of measures Of pressure
suggested by coordination commit
tee which is not a proper organ Of

the porch rocking back and forth.
Cant I get you shawl? Aren't

placate her.

Nowhere. Just walking around"

women to get rid of drunken brutes

be back again asking to be beaten.
Surely, James, you want to do some
thing better than that"
Il think I have done something
better than that. Jane"

- very unique and strange.
Business affairs called me to At

too lazy to fly the whole distance
in my own ship, 1 boarded an East
ern Airlines Douglas at Newark
Airport.
It was at night and arriving at
the airport quite a bit ahead of
time 1 went on board the plane,
sat down, turned on the reading
light, stretched out with my books
and watched my fellow-passengers
come aboard.
A young couple came aboard
the man was carrying a clothes bas-
ket full of soft blue and white
blankets and trailing him was the
woman. carrying a tiny baby in her
arms. Oh, it was about two feet
long and l couldn't begin TO
guess its age.
The interior of the ship was light
ed and the man went forward in
front of the first seat and placed
the casket on the floor. Then the
woman came up, arranged the
blankets and placed the little mite
down among them, cozily tucked
away.
There we were about to
start of and cruise at 200 miles an
hour from New York southwark,

ably getting its first ride in an
