UPPER MARLBORO, Md, October
15.-Expectation of an indictment In
the unsolved Corinna Loring murder
case, reopened here yesterday when
principal investigators went before
the county grand jury, were dormant
today after States Attorney Alan
Bowie said presentment was i'm
probable"
Despite the presentation of new evi-
dence by Lieut.. Joseph Itzel, Balti-
more detective who has led study OF
the crime, the jury has insufficient
information" to indict, Bowie an
nounced last night.
Itzel had previously predicted that
no charges would be preferred, but
his appearance before the jury.
coupled with his admission Of the
possession of additional evidence,
made an indictment possible.
Merely Summarized Case.
The Baltimore officer was before
the jury three and half hours yes
terday. Emerging from the hearing
room, he said:
mo presentment has been asked.
In fact, I recommended that no in
dictmeht be made. I merely sum-
married the case"
Itzel declared he was hopeful of
q break" in the case. He has fire.
Quently made this statement. Until
two days ago, little had been said
about the crime by Investigators. Itzel
and his assistant, Detective Sergt. Leo
Vogelsang, came here shortly before
noon on Tuesday. At that time the
lieutenant announced he had new
evidence, but he has refused to re-
veal its sourse or nature. He ad-
mitted, however, that statements had
been obtained from new Witnesses.
Points to One Suspect.
Reiterating his contention ex-
pressed shortly after the murder last
November. Itzel last night declared
that all the evidence, purely circum-
stantial, points to one suspect.
Bowie termed yesterdays affair "a
purely routine consideration of the
crime" Itzels insistence on de-
lay IN the case, ne SAID, precludeo
an Indictment. The Baltimore de-
tective, however, has no NEGLECTED the
case, it was learned on Tuesday. He
has recently made trips to Washing
ton and Upper Marlboro for con-
ferences" on the crime.
Since no witnesses will be called
before the jury, according to Bowie,
consideration OF the case By the panel
has ended. After IL months investi-
cation. the mystery OF the death of

'WALLY SIMPSON
SUES FOR DIVORCE
Close Friend of King Edward
Charges Husband With
Misconduct.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, October 15.-Mrs. Ernest
tWally) Simpson. following the ex-
ample Of an American friend, who
first introduced the former Baltimore
debutante to King Edwards intimate
circle, charged her husband with mis-
conduct today in divorce proceedings.
The suit-based on the charges
which alone are grounds for divorce
in England-has been set for hearing
at the Ipswich Assizes opening Oc-
tober 27.
Simpson himself announced the suit
after he and his dark-haired wife,
friend and travelling companion OF the
British monarch, moved out OF their
Bryanson Court apartment.
Moves Near Palace.
Mrs. Simpson, the former Miss Wal
lis Warfield of Baltimore. sent her
belongings to new home In Cumber-
land terrace, less than a mile from
Buckingham Palace, offcial residence
of King Edward. Simpson moved into
his military club, where he is mem
ber by virtue of former enrolment in
the crack Coldstream Guards.
The case will not be defended -
Simpson authorized the Associated
Press to say for him.
Beyond that have no statement
to make"
The slender, beautiful royal COM
panion in opening the divorce pro-
ceedings has followed in the footsteps
of her friend, the former Thelma Nor
gan of New York, who divorced Vis-
count FurneSs in January. 1888, on
misconduct charges.
Lady Furness opened the way for
Mrs. Simpson to enter King Edwards s
intimate circle of friends by an intro
duction to the British monarch.
(The former Lady Furness visited
in New York two years ago to attend
custody hearings OF her young niece,
Gloria Vanderbilt. She is a sister Of
Gloria's mother, Mrs. Gloria Morgan
Vanderbilt.)
Hearing to Be Brief.
The hearing at Ipswich, where JUS
tice Hawke will preside, probably will
be swiftly conducted and likely to
require no more than 10 minutes.
Under the usual dispensing of Brit
ish justice, skillful justice can hear
between 6 and 10 undefended divorce
cases an hour.
Pending the calling Of the suit,
Simpson was expected to continue
his activities as head of the London

~ ALTIMORE, October Is N1.-
* This citys best families, buzz
ing over their silver tea sets
about Miss Alice's" amazing
daughter Wallis, remember the days
before the war when they were poor
yet proud and popular.
Back in the old days she and her
mother, a widow, had to count the
questionable place in Baltimore's ex-
elusive society Miss Alice" how
ever, seemed to have been born under
an unlucky star.
The two lived at 212 East Biddle
street on the edge Of that little section
Of Baltimore which centers around
Mount Vernon place. Negro servants
appear on the front stoops there each
morning to polish the brass door
knockers.
The Warfield knocker was as bright
as the rest But Wallis mother had
to take in roomers to turn the trick.
Some of them ate their dinners there,
and one of them became Mrs. War
fields second husband years later.
Aristocratic Ancestors.
Miss Alice" who came from the
witty Montague family Of Virginia,
was much in love when she was first
married to Wallis Warfield, of an old
and rich Baltimore family. Warfield
descended from the Emory family
which had an original land grant
from George III of England in Co.
lonial days. And Wallis mother
traced from the Love family, wAich
also had an original grant. Such blood
is an unquestioned card of admit
tance to Baltimore society
But Wallis was only an infant when
her father died suddenly. The strug-
gle which followed for the young
widow and her child is remembered
by Dr.. Freddie Taylor. Baltimore
blueblood and a retired society editor.
After Warfield's death the widow
lived here and there" says DR.. Tay-
lor. "She managed to keep Wallis in
school. Sometimes they lived to-
gether. Sometimes not. There was

decided to take their case to one of

recently this would have been inpos-
sible, as residents Of London are re-
quired to institute such proceedings
In the city.
Now, however, divorce cases may be
tried outside the capital. If the court

hearing has not been set. although

Basques
Continued From First Page.)

surgents are Basques, bound by blood
ties reaching back to prehistoric
times blood ties now bloodied
indeed.
Yet blindly they were allied with
the anarchists and Communists at
the start Of the civil war :. because
their leader did not trust the word OF
Gen. Emilio Mola, now commander in
chief of the northern insurgent forces
in the charnel-house struggle around
Bilbao -.
1t was not easy to choose. When
the rebellion flared suddenly, last
July 18, they were offered realiza-
ton of their old dream-self-govern-
ment. Both sides offered autonomy
for the help of the fierce-f1ghting
Basques-and Juan de Ixtorriaga,
president of the Basque Nationalist
party, chose Madrid.
1--WE thought the war would soon
be over =" with victory for the
Madrid government" Ixtorriaga told
me. And now" he shrugged.
I'VE have lost Irun and San Sc
bastian. Our ancient allies, who came
mostly from other parts Of Spain,
burned our homes at Irun. We have
been excoriated by the Catholic
Church for joining the Popular Front
despite our deep attachment to the
church. We stand to lose-perhaps
everything"
Problem Of Hostages.

the portfolios Of prison freight ships
in the harbor-or staring, mutely. de-
spairingly, from the high, barred win
dows of Bilbao prisons.
Must we kill them in cold blood,
too, as we'll as in battle? ask the sore
hearted Basques.
The answer-yes. Already nearly
200 of these hostages have been
wrenched from their prison ''protec-
ton" marched against
stone wall in the dawn - left
in grotesque heaps to the gentle pity
of the rain because anArch-
lists threatened to burn the city If they
we're not given revenge for insurgent
air bombardments.
"We'd like to let them all CO." said
Ixtorriaga sadly. But we'd be ac-
cused by the Madrid government of
cowardice and the anarchists
in Bilbao would riot against u.s.
Theer is nothing they can do now
nothing. The die Is cast I"
"Wehave only to fight to the last to
defend Bilbao" said Ixtorriaga. "And
then-either way, we're lost"
