Discussing the need for hoste ia re-
moving these public menacsa, the re-
port further stated:
The metropolitan sewerage project
which contemplates the removal Of ali

Another bit OF evidence, which the

BY Detective Fred CornwelL

tainlng q divorce from his first wife,
that Sylvia wrote q letter TO the
mother OF the slain youth in Char
lottesVille. Va. The letter was writ
ten the night he arrived in Columbus,
