ATE FLESH OF WOMEN
HE KILLED, JAP SAYS

Nagasaki, Japan, July IS. The
weirdest murder mystery in the his
tory of Japan has been solved with
the confession of Tokichi Hori, coal
miner. that he killed six women and
ate part of their flesh.
The six mysterious deaths presented
the same puzzle-in each case a large
piece of flesh had been cut from the
victims right leg. All were killed
near the coal mines.
Hori confessed he consumed the flesh
because of a belief that only this could
cure him of melancholia. He stated
that he had served ten years in prison
for a similar crime, and since had
sought the same cannibalistic remedy
every time melancholia possessed
him.

LONELINESS.
Lonely? Yes
But II you'd know real loneliness
Cross DER the sea. and look upon the
stress
or those who come
Back to the scenes that once were
home
To find a rubbish-bordered village
street
That sounds no more to tread OF
friendly feet.
And for the living neighbor find in
stead
Only the thought of your beloved
dead,
And cen the trees and vines that once
were friends
Charred stumps today, and hre-
blackened ends
Then will you know the soaring
press
OF utter loneliness
As you begin TO build again
The home you loved from ashes that
remain.
