YOUTHS MAY CLEAR UP A

SORDID CASE BELGIAN .

IS TAKEN

CHICAGO, Nov. 17. Marcus Brumberg and Harris Jorgenson, two 19-year-old youths, were to be questioned further today in connection with the death of Maree Ttamey and Lillian Thompson, actresses, the finding of whose bodies in Grant Tark early Sunday added another to Chicago's list of amaslng murder mysteries. Both have confessed that they put the girls out of an automobile at a lonely spot in Crant Park and left them there. Whiskey and exposure caused the ftth of the girls rather than violence, the police believe, but the' story told by Brumberg and Jorgenson will be i necked up from every possible angle. Meantime Lawrence Jorgenson, a brother of Harris, and a man named McCarthy, said to be a cook on a coal toat now enroute to Buffalo, are being sought as a result of stories told i'y the two men under arrest.

Brumberg and Jorgenson totd tne

police that they were Joy-riding Sat

urday night and encountered the two

actresses on a north side street. Both

were Intoxicated, the men said, and begged to be taken home. Jorgenson

and Brumberg put them in their car, they said, but the women. In their In

toxicated condition, were unable to

give an understandable, address.

After drlvlns- about a while. the

w.en said, the two women were sometvhat revived by the night air and began to shout and sing and to insist up

on leaving the car. Fearing that the bolstcrness of the women would attract attention, the youths drove their car Into Grant Park, they said, and left the women sitting on the wind

swept grass along th Lake Shore.

The phase of the case which the police are most anxious to cleamp Is the large amount of blood found near the

bodies. Jorgenson and Brumberg as

sert that this came from cuts on the hand of one of the women received

from a broken whiskey bottle which

she carried. The man named McCarthy, Brum

berg aad Jorgenson eald, was with the women when they encountered them but left shortly after. Lawrence Jorgenson, a sailor at Great Lakes naval

trslnlng station, was with his brother

and Brumbtg during their Joyride.
