SAYS He KILLED
TWELVE BOYS
Brutal Murderer COnieSSss
by Mall
TALE PARTLY CONFIRMED
q
Postal Card Told Buffalo Police Where
pIsmembered Body Of One Victim
Was Hidden.

Was Hidden.
The dismembered corpse Of seven.
yeaT-old Joseph Josephs, murdered by
an unknown maniac, was taken from
the vault of an clubhouse in the rear
of a saloon on the Ridge road at Lack
awanna, N. Y.
The body was found in sixteen
parts, the skull being the last portion
recovered The flesh had entirely dis
appeared from it.
1t does not appear that the body had
been carved or chopped up, but that
1t had become dismembered in the
! twelve months it had lain in the slime
of the clubhouse, where it was cram
med by the murderer after he had
first assaulted and then strangled the
little Syrian lad.
The Josephs boy had been missing
| for a year, and his body was found by
means of postal cards written at in
tervals to the Buffalo police and the
! newspapers The last card described
the spot where the body of the lad was
buried.
One of the postal cards written by
the depraved murderer OF the boy
stated that he had killed twelve other
boys. The police at first were not in
clined to believe this, but Chief Of
Police Regan declared that after COM
munication with other cities from
which postal cards had been mailed
by the murderer that the boastful muir
derer probably is telling the truth in
regard to the number of crimes he has
committed.
Postal cards received from time to
time since the disappearance Of the
Josephs boy were dated in Boston,
New York, Washington and Philadsl-
phia
Oners Of rewards sggregRting $500
failed to give any trace Of the boy,
but the postal cards telling Of his
death appeared quite regularly at po-
lice headquarters, at the home Of his !
parents and at the business house Of
the boys fother, who Is a wealthy |
Syrian merchant.
For time these cards were ignored |
by the police, but when last Friday |
one was received describing the exact |
spot where the body was buried the |
police and medical examiners began
an investigation, which resulted in the
finding Of the body, piece by piece.
The last part found was the head.
Immediately after the body was un-
earthed the police appealed to the
postal inspectors TO try and trace the
writer OF the cards.
The murderer writes that he Is a
thirty-second degree Mason. and de.
clAres that on Wednesday he will re-
turn to Buffalo and give himself up
to the police. This, it is thought, is
merely a blind to forestall a search
for him.

attacked by him. the writer gives the
places where the attacks occurred,
