LORING MURDER CASE IS DORMANT Prince Georges Prosecutor i Says Indictment Is f “Improbable.” B & 8taff Correspondent of The Star UPPER MARLBORO, Md., October 15.—Expectation of an indictment in the unsolved Corinna Loriug murder case, reopened here yesterday when principal investigators went before the county grand jury, were dormant today after State's Attorney Alan Bowie said a presentment was “im- probable.” Despite the presentation of new evi- dence by Lieut. Joseph Itzel, Balti- more detective who has led study of the crime, the jury has “insufficient information” to indict, Bowie an- nounced last night. Itzel had previously predicted that no charges would be preferred, but his appearance before the jury, coupled with his admission of the possession of additional evidence, made an indictment possible. Merely Summarized Case. ‘The Baltimore officer was before the jury three and a half hours yes- terday. Emerging from the hearing room, he said: “No presentment has been asked. In fact, I recommended that no in- dictmeht be made. I merely sum- marized the case.” Itzel declared he was “hopeful of & break” in the case. He has fre- quently made this statement. Until two days ago, little had been said about the crime by investigators. Itzel and his assistant, Detective Sergt. Leo | Vogelsang, came here shortly before noon on Tuesday. At that time the lieutenant announced he evidence, but he has refused to re- veal its sourse or nature. He ad- mitted, however, that statements had been obtained from new witnesses, Points to One Suspect. Reiterating his contention ex- pressed shortly after the murder last November, Itzel last night declared that all the evidence, pureiy circum- stantial, points to one suspect. Bowie termed yesterdav's affair “a purely routine consideration of the | crime.” Itzel's insistence on a de- lay in the case, he said, precluded &n indictment. The Baltimore de- tective, however, has no tneglected the case, it was learned on Tucsday. He has recently made trips ton and Upper Marlooro for ferences” on the crime. Since no witnesses before the j acc consideration of the case bv the panel has ended. After 11 months’ investi- gation, the mystery of the death of the 26-year-old stenographer remains & mystery, DRIVER HURT IN CRASH “con- WITH PARKED AUTO Samuel E.

The name of the King, under no circumstances, will be mentioned dur- ing the Ipswich hearing, it was de- clared, nor will any reference to the friendship between him and the fem- inine petitioner be made. To the | Couple to Remain “Amicable.” . Simpson and his wife. their friends ssserted, will remain “amicable” in much the same way American film stars continue friendship after being divorced. Estrangement of the Simpsons has been known to close friends for some weeks, but announcement of the di- vorce suit was excluded from the col- umns of all London morning news- papers. The husband’s close associates de- clared , Simpson, although long un- happy domestically, never would file suit against his wife because of the necessity of charging misconduct un- der British law and Mrs. Simpson's friendship with the King. Typical undefended divorce pro- ceedings are conducted without .a formal opening, counsel for the plaintiffs merely rising when the case is called. Bowing to the judge, the petition- er's attorney announces “this is the wife's petition, M’'Lord.” The wife, as the compainant, is called to the witness stand and, in & rapid series of questions and answers, establishes her identification, neces- LONDON, October 15.—Mrs. Ernest (Wally) Simpson, following the ex- ample of an American friend, who first introduced the former Baltimore debutante to King Edward'’s intimate circle, charged her husband with mis- conduct today in divorce proceedings. The suit—based on the charges which alone are grounds for divorce in England—has been set for hearing at the Ipswich Assizes opening Oc- tober 27, Simpson himself announced the suit after he and his dark-haired wife, friend and traveling companion of the British monarch, moved out of their Bryanson Court apartment. Moves Near Palace. - Mrs. Simpson, the former Miss Wal- lis Warfield of Baltimore, sent her belongings to a new home in Cumber- land terrace, less than a mile from Buckingham Palace, official residence of King Edward. Simpson moved into his military club, where he is & mem- ber by virtue of former enrollment in the crack Coldstream Guards. “The case will not be defended” | Simpson authorized the Associated Press to say for him. 1 “Beyond that I have no statement | to make.” The slender, beautiful royal com- | panion in opening the divorce pro-| ceedings has followed in the footsteps of her friend, the former Thelma Mor- gan of New York, who divorced Vis- count Furness in January, 1933, on misconduct charges. | Lady Furness opened the way for | Mrs. Simpson to enter King Edward’s | intimate circle of friends by an intro- duction to the British monarch. (The former Lady Furness visited in New York two.years ago to attend | custody hearings of her young niece, | Gloria Vanderbilt. She is a sister of |§ Gloria's mother, Mrs. Gloria Morgan ' Vanderbilt.) 1% Hearing to Be Brief. | The hearing at Ipswich, where Jus- | tice Hawke will preside, probably will be swiftly conducted and likely to £ | require no more than 10 minutes. | Under the usual dispensing of Brit- | ish justice, a skillful justice can hear | ; between 6 and 10 undefended divorce ! cases an hour.

Additional evidence then is called .| for, in testimony by hotel employes, that the man, accompanied by a woman, was known to have spent the period at the hotel. Identifying evidence, witnesses, is introduced into the rec- ord that the wife is not the woman who was registered and the miscon- duct allegation is deemed complete. The plaintiff’s counsel then requests the presiding justice for a “decree nisl,” or temporary decree, which, if granted, may be made absolute in six months. During the interim an official, known as the “King's proctor,” has authority to intervene in the case and show cause why the temporary decree should not be made permanent. His powers, however, are limited by law. Usually, divorce cases which the principals hope will be settled quietly are filed in the heart of London, where, under present English law pro- hibiting publication of divorce testi- mony, many cases escape mention. The Simpsons, however, lpp.rently decided to take their case to one of the provincial assize centers. Until | recently this would have been impos- sible, as residents of London are re- quired to institute such proceedings in the city. Now, however, divorce cases may be tried outside the capital, if the court is satisfied any witnesses in the case | are residents of the vicinity uhere the hearing is held, or if for any spe- | cial reason it is considered advisable | to conduct the trial in a provincial | town. Hearing Date Uncertain. The actual date of the Simpson | hearing has not been set, although the general hearings in the Ipswich Court open October 27. While the goings and comings of his pretty wife have been widely pub- licized, the British public has learned little of the quiet, studious Simpson ;who prefers reading a book by his own fireside to dancing in night clubs.
