Y. Smith’s body was found yesterday in a clump of shrubbery with a bullet wound in the heart. The five persons questioned were picked up by police in New York City a few hours later.

Mrs. Loring admitted she never did feel Tear was the proper man for her daughter to marry because of his disposition. She did not explain fur- ther, but added she had made no ef- fort to interfere with the impending marriage. Mrs. Loring said she had planned no special ambition for Corinna to| follow because it had never been her practice to force a child to follow some subject in which it was not inter- ested. She pointed out she had been forced as a child to take music lessons against her wishes and had been made to practice four hours a day. She declared, however, she did want Corinna to be a wife and a mother and have a good home. Mrs. Loring expressed a belief that Corinna must have left her home on the night she was murdered with some one she knew.

SHREVEPORT, La., November 22.— The Connally “hot oil” act was held | valid and constitutional yesterday by | Federal Judge Ben C. Dawkins in an opinion filed in the Federal clerk’s office here. 1 The decision denied an injunction to T. J. Oglesby and 16 other defend- ants i “hot oil” cases to prevent prosecution under the law. The action brought against them last Summer under the act was fought by the plaintiffs who contended the act was unconstitutional in that it exceeded Federal authority. It was contended by the Govern- ment that the defendants were trans- porting oil into Louisiana for which Federal tender had not been obtained. In his decision Judge Dawkios said: | “The act of February 22, 1935, Cocktail Jacket, choice Saturday $8.50 at $1475. Be sure to get yours tomorrow.

Cites “Mass of Lies.” Mrs. Loring next reverted to the “mass of lies” that she said had been printed since the murder and called particular attention to a report that the house had recently been painted inside. She said that rumor probably grew out of the fact that some one saw a stepladder on the back porch. Next she was asked about the in- surance policies. She said the policles had been made out with her as a beneficiary. She explained that her own policy was made out jointly, one to Corinna and one to Florence, her other daughter. Both policies were for $1,000 each, with a double indem- nity clause in case of violent or ac- cidental death. Mrs. Loring said she could not un- derstand “all the talk” about the in- surance poicies because any child ‘would be likely to name its parents as beneficiaries. She said she was not going to touch the policies unatil after the case has been finally settled. Golf Star Beaten by Pupil. MR. &8 MRS.CANDY BUYER Washington, D. C.
