 Before boarding the train that took the party to the international border, Lonergan said he was glad ito go back and help clear up the case"
 T want to help the authorities all I can," he said, adding that he did not know of the murder until he read accounts of the brutal Slay- ing of the 22-year-old cafe society playgirl in the newspapers at Toronto, where he was taken into custody Monday.
 First Moves
 One of the first moves of police when Lonergan has arrived in New York, 1t was understood, would be to compare his flngerprints with those found on an antique brass candlestick which stood on night table in Mrs. Lonergan's bedroom and was used by her assailant to beat her to death.
 It was not until today that police let 1t be known that fingerprintS had been found on the candlestick,

 Lonergar, accompanied by Assist ant District Attorney John LoehI and two New York detectives, left Toronto by train last night but was halted at the international border by immigration authorities.
 Stopped at Border
 Canadian officials first stopped him at Fort Erie, Ont, because he was in civilian clothing, then, after crossing the border, U. s. irnmigra- ton authorities at Buffalo took him into custody as @ non-desirable i'm migrant. He was paroled after 6 hearing into the custody of detec- tives.
 After overcoming the immigration difficulties, the Lonergan party rar into wartime transportation trouble The party originally was scheduled to leave Buffalo at 3:l5 a. m, but was unable to obtain reservations When the same condition prevailed on the AHA a. m. train, Lonergan and the two detectives went to the Hotel Statler. The hotel admitted the two detectives were registered but refused to put through telephone calls to them.
 Loehr remained at the main New York Central station in Buffalo hop ing to obtain reservations on a later train.
 Although there were no apparent new clues to aid in solving the slay- ing, Loehr, who has been question: ing Lonergan since his apprehension in a Toronto rooming house, indi- cated that police may have found new evidence in the case.
 "The investigation has now gone far enough so that the pieces are be- ginning to it together" he said be- fore leaving Toronto. but refused to elaborate.
 Detectives here and in Toronto still were searching for Lonergan'e pale blue Royal Canadian air force uniform which the slain girls hus- band said was stolen by an Ameri- can soldier he had befriended.
