afternoon.

Of the saw and knife that character
lied the cutting of the torso. II Was
cut away from the body close 10 the
hip. and the lower cut was just below
the knee.
This caused the police to believe the
murderer carved his victim into seven
parts. The torso was cut into two
parts, and it was evident that each leg
was cut into two parts, making sin.
The head would make the seventh.
Unlike the parts Of the torso, the leg
had no wrappings about It.

fragment of the leg, Irving Brounder
