HOLD 3 NUNS IN
TORTURE DEATH
unseen Hands Mix Glass
Dust With Food.
BY HANS THOMAS,
United Press staff Correspondent

United Press stan Correspondent
PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, March
ga murder by prolonged medi-
eval torture was disclosed here today
after the arrest of three BorromeauS
nuns said by police TO have know
ledge of the mysterious death of
DR.. sAfanasovich Cymbaloff, direc-
tor of the hospital at Kuttenberg,
Bohemia.
A thorough investigation disclosed
that DR.. Cymbaloff was murdered,
police said.
The investigation brought out that
for long time unseen hands had
mixed glass dust into his food, SLOW
ly destroying his digestive organs.
1t also was disclosed that at the
time of the directors death his as
siStant physician at the hospital
was seriously ill.
The police discovered a book on
medieval torture in one of the hos
pitaI wards. That furnished a cleW
to work on and later they found
ground glass such as caused the
death, in handbags of the three
nuns.
So far the police have been unable
to establish any motive for the
crime. But they were working on a
theory that the nuns feared that
DR.. Cylnbaloff might reveal alleged
Irregularities on their part.
The disclosures of the Cynbaloff
murder, following as it does the
Promenhoff murders last week,
when two women were found mys-
teriously slain. has caused a ire
mendous sensation in Czecho-
SloVakia.
