were summoned. Hanson was suffer-
ing acute pain. His intcstincs were
literally tied in a knot from the suf-

ute death to loss of blood. 1t is be-

at the left side and took "a course to-

The police have practically no clue
upon which to work. Aside from the
meagre description given by Hanson,
which says the men were short,
masked and not negrocs,' there is
nothing. y messenger boy told the
