The twins, described as "hot suspects" by County Prosecutor Joseph A. Gompers, remained with their parents in whose cus tody they were released after brief questioning Friday night Lie Detector Tests Police also revealed that a teenaged chum of the twins had submitted to a lie detector test administered by Trooper James Baisden. The results were not ; revealed. The Powell boy s body was found Friday under the porch of a neighbor's home where young sters sometimes held "club' meetings.
