one Of the most shocking and mystic
Yfous murders in the history of this
section. Charles Heufnagles body,
found in the fence corner, was liter

Decomposition had already sci in, and
it is the belief of the officers now at

His face is laid open with long and
Jagged cuts and the head has almost
been severed from the body.

victim was helpless, hacked and cut
the body with some instrument with
which death blows were delivered, as
cuts were found all over. the torso and
