Police to Question Girl.
Police today expected to question
Miss Edith Tavenner, 400 block of G

ment employe Investigators made,
it clear, however, that Miss Taven-
ner is wanted merely for questioning
and not as suspect.
Miss Tavenner was expected here
late yesterday, but did not arrive. Re-
porters were told at her home that she
had gone on brief trip to Virginia.
Itzel said he knew the girls where
abouts and probably would talk to her
some time today.

unidentified man was supposed to
have bought Federal bonds for Co.

hair taken off the girls coat matched
one Of three samples submitted for
comparison. These samples were
labeled merely with letters, and it was
later established that the sample
which matched was taken from the
dead girls scalp.
States Attorney Bowie also turned
over to Hicks for analysis parts of
the girls stomach, samples of blood
and dried tissue taken from beneath
the finger nails. which Miss Loring
may or may not have scraped from
the body of her assailant during the
death struggle.

Hicks was to submit a more COM
examination of the other clues.
1tZel said one of the most valuable
bits Of evidence yet found is the mans
leather glove discovered near the body.

motorists glove in his haste to quit
the scene Of the crime Police had
little hope, however, Of finding mate
