Duchess Named
Best Dressed of
Women i'm 1897

PARIS, June 80. (U.P)-The Ouch
esS of Windsor today was named
best dressed woman for 1887.
The Baltimore celebrity, who was
married last month to Englands
abdicated King Edward, headed a
list of 10 internationally known
social figures whose infallible
taste in clothes gave them a lead
over hundreds of prominent ap-
plicants in a fashion poll held
for the United Press by leading
Paris stylists.
The 10 best dressed women of
all nationalities were listed as fol-
lows:
/. Duchess of Windsor.
2. Princess Karam of Kapurthala.
3. Duchess of Kent.
4. Mrs. Harrison Williams
5. Sonora Martinez Hoz
s. Begun Aga Khan
7. Baroness Won Krieger
8. Mrs. Gilbert Miller
9. Princess Jean PaniotoWsky
TO- Baroness Eugene De Roth
Schild.
Mrs. Harrison Williams, prom
inent New York hostess who head
ed last years list as well as those
of 1888 and 1884, was fourth this
time-and several tilted women
notably the Duchess of Leeds, Prin-
cess Charles Murat, the honorable
Daisy Fellowes were eliminated
entirely.
1t was estimated that these 10
women spent a total of 100000 TO
$5O0,00O in the past year, while
each of the 10 spent anywhere
from $4,000 to 100000 This sum
includes every article of wearing
apparel including furs, underwear,
accessories, small jewelry purchases
as we'll as the large expense of
beauty treatments, hairdressing
and massage.
The selection of the Duchess Of
Windsor as the worlds best dress
ed woman was no surprise, for in
the two months prior to her mar
riage she bought nearly 100 diff
ferent costumes from four of the
leading Paris couturierS and pur-
chased 40 hats. Her trouSseau of
48 assemblies came from Main
bocher.
Knowing that blue is her most
becoming color, the Duchess OF
Windsor bases her entire wardrobe
on various shades of blue.
The greater part of her under
wear is blue and her favorite Jewel
is the sapphire. She has slight
figure and therefore avoids flam-
boyant or eccentric clothes which
would appear ridiculous on a wom-
an of her small stature. Her blue
eyes are her best feature and she
dresses to make the most of them.

 Detectives Scour Area
 One of the most gruesome discov- cries in the Kingsbury Run area was that made by two boys hiking down gulch. Coming upon a they poked it with a stick and mans head rolled out.
 Detectives have almost lived in the section since the bodies were found there; they have brought in hundreds of suspects for question: ing; they have examined hundreds of pieces of blood-stained clothing of cleaning establishments and fol- lowed tips day and night.
 One suspect lived in a cave. An- other had the reputation of eating chickens and rabbits without cook ing them. CPolice were never able to explain the presence of chicken feathers on Mrs. Polillo's body) Dozens of persons living in the old shacks which dot the district were taken into custody and questioned.
 Numerous persons found with meat cleayers or long knives in their possession were brought in and questioned for hours, only to be re- leased. Detectives spent weeks searching for an escaped patient from an asylum for the insane on the information that he had return ed to his home in the Kingbury Run district and had been observed peer ing into windows in the neighbor- hood.
 Right Where We Started
 The inevitable Oriental who was seen frequently near Kingsbury Run carrying market basket and shipping off weeds with a long knife --was questioned. He said he made medicine from the weeds.
 One man questioned had talked g great deal about transplanting the human brain from one body to an ther. Dozens of others quizzed had babbled about killings while in tozicated.
 Two detectives followed a trail of

By LYNN HEINZERLING

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 28. '- Somewhere in Cleveland today - perhaps in the drab areas on the citys fringe, or in the drowsy flats of it's underworld, or even on trim and respected streets of it's resi- dential districts-there walks the torso killer of Kingsbury Run.
 Ten times in 34 months the knife of the killer has claimed a victim. Ten times a headless body has con- fronted detectives with new but unvarying mystery.
 The killers methods have varied little since December. 1884, when the first body was found. All were nude and decapitated. In m ost cases arms were severed at the shoulder blades, legs at the hips. In some cases arms and legs were cut into segments.
 Experts at LOggerheads
 Because the bodies of five victims were found in or near dirty little stream of water known as Kings bury Run, the killer was given it's name. The last three bodles-al- most as an answer-have been found far from it's narrow banks on the southeastern side of the city
 What kind of man could behed six men and four women and not be found? Where should he live and inflict his cruelties? Who could pick eight persons out of city of nearly a million whose disappear- ance would excite no inquiries?
 These are questions detectives have attempted to answer by ar resting hundreds of suspects Psy- chiatrists, pyhchologists and crim- inologists have studied the handi- work of the mad killer without agreeing on his motives or compul- SionS.
 Friendship Seen as Lure
 Only two of the ten victims ever have been identified. The fourth victim was placed through finger prints as Mrs. Florence Pollilo, fl, She had been arrested once in vice raid.
 One male victim, Edward An drassy, 26, was identified by rela- tives. Police records on the lives and habits of Andrassy and Mrs. Polillo amount almost to biogra- phies, but there is nothing to show why they were singled out for such violent deaths.
 Dr. Samuel R. Gerber, coroner, who has made minute study of the work of the maddened killer, be- lieves friendship" is the lure which brings the hapless victims into his hands. The absence of marks of violence on the bodies, other than the knife cuts, indicate, he says, that the victims ewere attacked when asleep, unsuspecting or were drugged."
 He Knows Anatomy
 Dr. Gerber pictures the killer as a cool, shrewd sadist who has &C., quired knowledge of anatomy cith- CT as a doctor, hunter, male nurse or butcher. He is well acquainted with the city and able to gain the confidence of his victims Disposi- tion of the bodies, some quite heavy, would require muscular person.
 pr. Gerber is convinced that one person is responsible for all the killings.
 If more than one were involved. l" he says, they would begin to fall out and tell on each other" One thing the coroner can't un- derstand is "the apathetic attitude of the public concerning the kilI- ings."
