Lorenz Linked to Murder Scene and Missing Jewelry
Lorenz admitted proximity to the lonely spot where the girl was killed and said he knew the Reservoir Avenue district. He viewed the girl’s body at the undertaking rooms days later. Police will search for the bracelet and trinkets, visit former lodgings, and question acquaintances who may have received the jewelry. If Regester’s murder cannot be tied to him, the Mann case may be added. George Williams identified Lorenz. Mrs Mann recognized a watch and chain found in Lorenz’s trunk. Several other individuals also identified Lorenz in separate robberies. An extended third degree interrogation ended with the prisoner fainting, revived by Dr. Griffin, and another session held that night. Continued on Page 7 Second Column.
