“YANPRES” TR ARDUSES GERVIANS JIndignation Grows as Revolt- ing Details Are Laid Bare Before Court. By the Associated Press. HANOVER, Germany, December 12. —Every day of the trial of Fritz Haarman, accused of murdering more than a score of men and boys, brings new and revolting details of this vampire slayer's methods. The court- room resembles a medical clinic with its exhibits. The parents of some of the murdered boys present a pathetic picture on the witness stand as they are compelled to identify the rem- nants of clothing and other traces of lost sons. The people are becoming more and more aroused because of alleged police negligence in declining to fol- low up early reports of missing boys and complaints of neighbors that thére was something wrong around Haarman's living quarters.
