HANOVER, Germany, December IL
Every day of the trial of Fritz
Haarman, accused of numbering more
than a score of men and boys, brings
new and revolving details of this
vampire slayer's methods. The court
room resembles a medical clinic with
its exhibits. The parents of some of
the murdered boys present a pathetic
picture on the witness stand as they
are compelled to identify the rem
nants of clothing and other traces
of lost sons.
The people are becoming more and
more aroused because of alleged
police negligence in declining to fol-
low up early reports of missing boys
and complaints of neighbors that
there was something wrong around
Haarmans living quarters.
