3. He had been decapitated and his
head mutilated.
4. The body and head had been
placed in the positions where they were
found.
S. Lobo had been locked in the house
by the murderers in the hope he would
further mutilate the body and thus
supply false explanation. The dog

the position where 1t was least possible
for it to be discovered from the street
or garden.
Meanwhile, ]. B: Mandy, ir., nephew
Of Arthur Rochfort Mandy, wrote from
Denver retaining lawyers to represent
the family. They sent Martin back to
Taos July IL for further investigation.
It is apparent that the Mandy family
believed their New Mexican relative a
man of great wealth. But Hines says
that so far as he has been able to as
certain, Mandy was penniless. and had
squandered the $4,000 previously re-

August 2 a long letter was received by
Gov. Dillon from brothers of A. r..
Manly, Eardley B. Manly, Woodhall
Spa. England, and Afford v. Mandy,
Cluny, Canada. The Mandy family,
they said, were astounded that the
United States had done nothing to in

August 81 the body found in the
Mandy hacienda was exhumed and ex-

never has been delivered to the au-
thorities at Santa Fe.
DR.. Martin, in an extremely virile late
middle age. is a character. The reason
there has been no formal report Of the
post-morten, he says, is that no pro-
vision has been made for paying him.
The State won't get the report until
it's ready to settle, he asserted.
They talk about the body not being
Manby's," the doctor said. "WeIl take
up the marks of identification first
Mandy had gray hair. The skull had
remnants of gray hair. Mandy had no
teeth. His false teeth were found near
the body. The skull we found was
toothless.
When we disinterred the body we
found three rings on Manbys fingers,

We thought Mandy might have

ne said, but the stomach showed no
poison. The skull had not been frac-

There were two deep cuts across the
chest, such as made with knife. The
collar bone was broken and two of
the upper ribs. Over the ribs there
were seven small perforations. These
appeared to be shot wounds. However
no shot was found in the body. Martin
tells me shot may be drained from a.
body that has been decapitated. This
may have happened to MANLY"
DO you think 1t possible Manbv
might have been killed by fright?"
AN autopsy couldn't show that" the
physician said.
Doctor, after Manby's death did Won
hear any strange noises over thereo"
He looked as though he had expected
that question.
Yes. A short time after Mandy was
buried Terecita Ferguson and her whole
