Those who have memory for horrors
will remember the grim tale OF an Aus
tralian farm where q score or 30 OF skele-
tons were found buried. The blum. honest
farmers had thriven for years on the rob-
berry and murder Of wayfarers. A farm OF
the same sort has just been discovered by
three detectives OF Paris Scotland Yard in
the Austrian Tyrol at Bozen. On August 10
last M. Aiphonse Braunschweix. a Swiss
member OF parliament while mountaineer-
ing in the neighborhood. disappeared mys-
teriously, and his son appealed to the
Paris surete generate and three Detectives
were sent to investigate. Near to the spot
where M. Braunschweiz had been Last seen
they dug up the body of another tourist.
who had unaccountably disappeared two
months before. Near by was a small Inn,
which the detectives promptly visited.
There they found a suit of well-cut clothes,
which could hardly have belonged to the
peasants owning the place. and. more damn
ing still. a button bearing the name of M.
Braunschweiz's tailor. The detectives went
on investigating and making discoveries.
In six years seven tourists had mysteri-
ously disappeared near Bozen, almost at
the self-same spot The detectives, being
French could apply for warrants only
through dsplomatlc channels. and negot-a
tons are proceeding. Meanwhile, one of
the suspected inmates of the farm and inn
has fed the country.
