Likely, Doctor Declares

An Official verdict Of strangu-
lation in the death Of Shelby
Jean Venable makes it likely
that her close friend, Mary
Elizabeth Fellers, was slain in
the same manner, a medical
examiner said today.
AS police redoubled efforts,
two Maryland detectives spent
more than two hours question
ing q teen-aged blond girl they
brought to the Waterloo bar
racks, headquarters for the in
vestigation. Her connection
with the case was not immedi-
ately made known.
Police now believe two men
may have slain the girls. They
point to the difi1culty one mar
would have had subduing the
two girls whose high character
has been attested to by friends
and neighbors.
A search for the slayers has
been under way since the bodies
of the Maryland teen-agers were
found nine miles apart in ar

sound by giving unproportion-
