B—2 = TORSD SLAYINGS BAFFLE NATION Cleveland’s Nine Murders Become More Than Local Problem. Spectal Dispetch to The Btar. OLEVELAND, July 31 (NANA) — At the close of two years' investigation into the growing list of Cleveland torso elayings, called the “Kingsbury Run murders” after the section of the city in which the butchered remains of most, of the nine victims have been disposed, homicide investigators are &till without clues to the motives and identity of the killer, who is creating one of the most weird chains of death in modern crime history. For two years detectives have brought into central police station for questioning eccentrics with every fashion of mental quirk. They have detained scores of transients in the hope of getting a single word of de- £cription of the slaver they are seeking. Crime clinics have been held at which police and medical experts have exchanged theories and constructed mental portraits of a man who has| murdered six men and three women | here by decapitation, dissecting five | bodies and mutilating them apparently | as the humor has seized him Investigations have taken Cleveland | police to many surrounding cities and | Btates, tracking down tales of mad- men who have backgrounds of crime or horror.

For a long time “'before Chicago” Mr. Jones, whose home is Pittsburgh but whose perigrinations and whose inter- ests have taken him into every corner of America, was conjuring up some the day the first body was found.” Cleveland was filled with throngs | of worshipers for the National Eucha- | ristic Congress. when, late {n the afternoon of September 23, 1933, the first two victims were discovered head- less, mutilated and nude, ly in An | unfrequented part of Kingsbury Run | at the foot of Jackass Hill, 2'; miles from the hea | Through fingerprints, one body was | identified as that of Edward A. | Andrassy, 28, a resident of Cleveland's | West, Side, a former hospital attache and & minor police character, ar- | rested in 1931 for carrying concealed | Wweapons.

CHICAGO, July 31.—Today per- sons no longer need tell of their op- erations. They can present color por- traits of them instead. Reactions of friends to the draw- ings may vary. Some might say, “What a lovely flower!” To which your naive rejoinder would be, “Why, that is my kidney.” And, if you are a woman, you might 8dd in the same breath, “I am using it as a design for a new gown.” Authority for this trend in fad and fashion possibilities is Miss Esther Bohlman, who has sketched opera- tions in pencil and water colors for 8ix years and who now does colored microscopic drawings for some of the departments of the Biological Division of the University of Chicago. Collects Designs for Books. “Some day,” said the trim, 30-year- old blond artist, "I expect to publish a book for the use of designers.” The book, she said, would include exam- ples of the “exquisite coloring, shapes and designs” suggested by some of her anatomical drawings. She already has tested the practi- cability of the idea, using the flower- like pattern supplied by a kidney sketch as a design for one of her dresses. Chance maneuvered to alter the career of Miss Bohlman, who came to Chicago in 1923 from Lincoln, Nebr., to study portrait painting Finances necessary to complete her course at the art institute led to a job in the record department at Michael Reese Hospital.

He pondered that a long time. The idea grew. At last he concluded that, before the idea could be changed, poli- tics would have to be altered. He felt that politics was at the root of the inability of capital and labor to work together, the obstacle in the way of progress. And so Mr. Jones started his quest for a political leader. Offered His Services. Satisfled with F. D. R., he offered his services on the Democratic com- mittee. He was made director of finance. The job. as he puts it, was “directing finances into the treasury.” Then he was called to Washington to help build the coal code for the N.R A Early in the game he saw the hand- WIiting on the wall. He felt the N. R. A. was doomed. So he went back to Pittsourgh and called together the bituminous operators. “Get your lawyers,” he told them, “and lets draw up a law. And work on a hypothesis that coal is & natural resource and that you are destroying the wealth of the Nation when you run your business as you do.” He called on John Lewis, then with the A.

Only in the case of Andrassy, whose wrists showed marks of having been bound, has there been evidence of resistance. Police, however, have been reluctant to accept the suicide club theory, Of one thing most are agreed. The killer even now is making friends with tenth victim.

CHICAGO, July 31.—Fred B. Bnite, jr.. celebrated his 27th birthday to- day as a ‘“‘very cheerful” prisoner in the “iron lung” which has kept him alive for 16 months. A flood of letters, telegrams and messages doubled his usual mail, which averages 60 pieces a day, his father said, and in addition there were 30 gifts of flowers. . The elder Snite said his son dis- tributed many of the flowers among other patients at Billings Memorial Hospital, and got “a lot of pleasure out of doing it.” The only guests, in addition to members of the family, were the Chinese nurses who accompanied young Snite on his long journey from Peiping, China. The youth, then 25, was stricken with infantile paralysis while on a vacation trip in the Orient.

Next year's Fourth of July fireworks exhibition may be held at the Ellipse, instead of on the Monument Grounds, it was stated yesterday at a meeting of the Execytive Committee in charge of the event. More adequate space for handling the crowd and better facilities for tak- ing care of the large flow of traffic were given as reasons for the proposed change.
