The discovery had enlarged and ex.
panded to the point where there was
a moral certainty that some fiend In
human form had sawed up the body
of a 12-year-old girl and thrown it un.
der the floor, with a covering Of lime,
when Kuehling dashed a few gallons
Of cold water on everybody by the
statement:
Huh! I think they're meat bones.
That looks like the piece Of a T-bone
steak and this looks like the remains

.Kuehling did not hesitate to admit
that the bones had been sawed. In
fact, he also acclaimed that fact-but
he supplemented his statement with
the mundane and sophisticated ad-
denda that 1t was some butcher who
had done the saving with regular
meat saw.
Coroner Nevitt came rolling up to
the scene in his limousine finally to
pass Judgment on the discovery.
Kuehling had packed the bones in
a bag obtained from Mrs. Stephano.
He went into a side yard and dumped
them on the brick walk. Coroner
hewitt looked them over carefully.
Then he finally exploded the mys-
terry, upholding Kuehling's prior judg-

enjoyed a lot Of steak around here"
