Reports of the poster contest which | started November 13 and will close December 13, indicate a widespread interest in the event. Full details re- garding rulues of the contest can be obtained at the Arts Club, 2017 I| street, Loring (Continued From First Page.) which had been given her by a rela- tive. It was found in the Loring home after the body was discovered. Talked on Telephone. ‘The matron said the girl went into & telephone booth, closed it behind | her and talked for some time. She left the waiting room shortly after, presumably to enter an automobile the matron never saw. The matron was convinced the girl was Corinna Loring when photographs were published several days after Miss Loring dropped from sight. ‘The matron was positive about the identification, and it carried weight ‘with Baltimore police because she had at least 20 years' experience in iden- tifying missing persons in connection with her duties with the railroad. ©On the other hand, the girl’s mother | explained to police that she left home about 8 o'clock to go to church. Mrs. | Loring arrived at church, according | to police, between 8:10 and 8:15, s0 | she could not have been mistaken about the time. It was said that Mr. and Mrs. Leo LoJacono, brother-in-law and sister of the slain girl, left the Loring home at 7:20 pm. Reward Offers Expected. County and city rewards probably | will be offered in a few days for in- formation leading to the arrest and conviction of the slayer. Perry Bos- well of Mount Rainier, president of the Prince Georges County Board of Com- missioners, said he would move the posting of a reward when the board meets Tuesday morning. | Mayor Norman A. Pruitt probably | will ask the Mt. Rainier Town Council at its meeting tomorrow night to offer & reward. Mayor Pruitt said last night he expected to make the request, and believed it would be approved, al- though he added he did not know ‘where “the money was coming from.” State's Attorney Alan Bowie of Prince Georges County said additional ‘witnesses would be questioned tomor- row to clear up points raised when he and Itzel reviewed yesterday the stenographic transcript of the stories ©ffered thus far in the inquiry. Bowie declined to say who the wit- hesses would be, but admitted most of them had been interrogated before. The State’s attorney declared every in- timate friend of the slain girl would be questioneds Mysterious Car Reported. A mysterious automobile which she saw pull into a driveway alongside the Loring home and then depart with darkened lights on the midnight prior to the discovery of the girl's body was described to police last night by Mrs. L. E. George, 3851 Thirty- first street, a neighbor of the Lorings. Mrs. George said the car remained about 10 minutes and she was sure no one alighted during that time. She did not get a glimpse of the oc- cupants of the car. A man believed to have been Rich- ard Tear, 29, attendant at St. Eliza- beth's Hospital, and Miss Loring’s flance, was seen seated on the front porch of the Loring residence on the night of the bride-elect’s disappear- | ance by two neighbors, Mrs. Robert Seaye, 3939 Thirty-first street, and Mrs. Dehaven Moore, 3937 Thirty- first street. ‘The women told police they noticed the man as they passed along the sidewalk on their return from a mo- tion picture show about 9 p.m. Al- | though neither knew Tear, the story | checks with Tear'’s own account of | his movements on the night in | question. Left Note on Door Knob. The flance said Miss Loring was expecting him to call, and he came to the home shortly before 9 o’clock, obtained no response when he rang the door bell and waited on the porch until 9:15, when he left a note over the door knob and went on to St. Elizabeth’s to report in time to go to work at 10 o'clock. Another canvass will be made of the neighbors, police said last night, in an effort to find some one who saw Corinna or noticed any suspicious cir- cumstances after her mother left her home alone about 8 p.m., where she was ironing some clothing and waiting for Tear. The houses in the nesghborhood are comparatively close together and the murdered girl was well known to res- idents of the vicinity. She left home after hastily changing clothing and putting out all the lights except one usually left burning when the family was away. ‘The girl locked herself out. Both death, ufiteered the information that two men with scratches on their faces have been observed acting in a “suspi- any way to the Loring family or friends. Police said, however, they would run down both “tips,” although they attached little significance to either. which is being offered investigators by -cranks, amateur sleuths and theorists | was that profféred by two clairvoyants and a mind reader who had been playing at a Washington vaudeville house. Robert W. Hicks, Washington crim- inologist and employe of the District Highway Department, came forward | with at least two new clues last night, | a bottle partially filled with witch hazel and another with rubbing al- cohol. Hicks said the bottles were found at the scene of the crime the two Washington Boy Scouts, Walter E. Lawson, 15. of 2636 Monroe street { northeast, and Gilbert Bowen, 16, of 2913 Otis street northeast. Used to Remove Blood Stains, Hicks advanced the information that both liquids found in the bottles are sdetimes. used tc remove blood stains. Hicks has been placed in charge of virtually all physical clues in the case. The criminologist said last night he had made five written reports to State’s Attorney Bowie and expected to make at least six more. Hicks came to Upper Marlboro | again yesterday afternoon to expound further upon his theories as to how the body was dragged down hill, pre- | | sumably from an automobile parked | on Saddieback Ridge, to the spot | where it was found by a rabbit hunter : on Saturday afternoon, November 9. | Before leaving for Baltimore late | yesterday, Itzel said he expected to discuss the clues in the case with an old friend and former assoclate in a number of murder investigations, Dr. Robert W. Wood, a physicist at Johns Hopkins University. AMLIE SEES GROWTH OF COLLECTIVIZATION Third Party May Be in Field by 1936, Says Wisconsin Progressive. By the Associated Press.
