While the French foreign oface,

the German foreign Office accused Mr..

represented as regarding the American

Toxic referred to the address as
"idealistic," like other American peace
proposals of the past.
The French spokesman in Paris

The defense attorney also vigorously
denied Mr.. Dewey's accusations that
former District Attorney william c.

trate Hulon Capshaw had been "in-
huenced, intimidated or bribed" by

The head and upper torso of a
woman-the 1lth torso killing victim
were found at the dump yesterday.
The coroner said he was satisfied,
after investigation. that No. 18th VIC
tim was represented. Earlier he had
expressed belief the bone collection
gathered in two days might be from
three persons.
But how many persons this man
has murdered is a question only to be
answered by his arrest, if then" DR..
Gerber said.
He declared the same methods of
disarticulation and surgery used upon
the earlier victims-all found since
September, 1935-showed the mad
killer" was guilty of the latest deaths.
The victims were unidentified, like
all but three of the four women and
six men who met similar fate in the
last three years.

said, indicated that she had been
slain not more than six months ago.

tanning the piecemeal dead had been
in the dump not more than two or
three weeks.

skull, upper torso and dismembered
