FIVE SUSPECTS
in GIRL MURDER
Irene Perry of Dartmouth
Is Dead-Garrotte Used
to Kill Her

Dartmouth, Mass, Aug. 2.-(UP)
Police today checked the stories OF
five men concerning their where
abouts the night of June % when
Miss Irene Perry, %, was slain with
a garrote and her trussed body
dumped in woods near q local low
er's lane.
Some discrepancies appeared,
authorities said, in alibis given by
two Of the men, all Of whom lived
near the Perry home on the New
Bedford-Dartmouth town line, and
were friendly with the girl, one Of
Is children.
demonstrating the victims move
ments, police theorized she was
lured by her slayer into an auto
as she neared home after pruchas-
ing a pair OF shorts downtown. A
woman neighbor said she saw Irene
a block from the home at 1880 p.
m. The girl never returned.
The search for the slayer In FAN
River was abandoned last night
when 1t was ascertained that the
victim apparently was kidding"
when she told two friends that she
soon would marry "a man from
Fall River. An inexpensive we'd
ding ring which the girl, unwed
mother of a three-year old boy, wore
habitually was found in her room.
When the ring was not found on
the girls body, police had hoped it
might be clue to identity Of the
slayer.
A dry-goods store clerk told po-
lice that the Perry girl had spent
$l.10 for the shorts. The victims
father said she had $3.50 total.
Neither the 20 cents change, the
shorts, nor the girls shoes were
found with the body.

FOREIGN AGENTS
HELD AT PANAMA
81 of Them Detained; To
Study Just What to Do
With Them

washington. Aug. 2.-(UP)-Civil
and military authorities today
sought to learn the background OF
81 foreign agents detained in the
Panama canal zone on charges Of
entering the area Illegally.
Officials studied their cases to
determine whether they should be
deported from the canal zone,
brought to the United States for
hearing before the immigration SER
vice, or held for "other DISPOSE
ton"
Secretary of War Henry L Slim
son, who announced their detention
late yesterday, did not give any de-
tails. It was learned, however, that
army and justice department Of
ficials viii confer today on problems
arising from the roundup.
In making the announcement,
Stimson denied that aliens are en-
ployed on defense projects Of the
isthmus.
There are no persons working
on fire control equipment in the
canal zone other than American
soldiers or American engineers" he
said. "Under the law, these indi-
viduals must be American citizens
and their citizenship and affilia-
tons have been carefully investi-
gated by military authorities"
Must be Citizens
Under q law enacted last June,
all federal jobs must be filled In
the canal zone by United State
citizens or Panamanians by May i,
1941.
Earlier this year agents of The
Federal Bureau Of Investigate
visited the canal zone to check yon
spy and sabotage reports. They re-
ported to President Roosevelt VIC
later made an inspection tour u
the canals defenses.
