tucket police station small box in
which were a pair of human ears, the
find having been made IN the rear OF one
OF the business blocks on Main street.

tensibly removed. The box bore the ad-
dress of a Pawtucket lawyer. and there

considerable curiosity as TO the where
abouts of the corpse from which the ears
were taken.
