 BUTCHER SOUGHT

ness with a demonstration of po- lice action.
 The two latest victims yielded many clues to their own and the killers identity. These were a ragged blue coat, patchwork quilt, a cracker box, fish container and a sugar sack in which the pieces were stuffed; enough skin left on one thumb for a fingerprint and dental work that might identify one skull. But similar clues had been found with every other body to date, only three victims had been identified, only six heads had been found, and all that was known of the killer was that he was a sexual degenerate, because of the way he mutilated the bodies, and probably butcher, because of the way he cleaved them at the joints.
 58 HOboes Are Jailed
 Before dawn, 58 hoboes had been jailed for fingerprinting and ques- tioning. Ness said the roundup had twofold purpose: To get the hoboes fingerprints checked at F. B. I. headquarters in Washington, and to clear out the "jungles" and eliminate the mad butchers bait". In almost every case, he has chosen obscure persons without relatives or friends who might report their dis appearance. This was evident af- ter two of the identified victims were found to have been prosti- tute and a panderer, and the others had neither been reported missing or had anyone to identify them. It is believed that several of the vic- tims came from the hobo jungles.
 In all, the raiders visited three jungles, two in the flats and one on Kingsbury Run, between the Public Square and the Lake Erie waterfront where most of the bodies have bene found, usually after they had deterioraetd and been washed ashore.
 By cleaning out the jungles," Ness said, i've may be able to force the killer to prey on more 'co-op- erative' people whose relatives can give us some information"
 Many hours of inspection were necessary to determine that the parts of bodies found in the dump were from two bodies rather than three, that No. 12 was a woman of about 35 years, and No. l3 a man, probably Negro.
 Seek Fingerprints
 The two cardboard boxes were be- ing inspected for fingerprints. One, a cracker box that contained the woman's arms and legs, had been included in shipment of 75 sent from Grand Rapids, Mich. It had been in a warehouse until July 15. Nathan Robb, manager of the 1nde- pendent Biscuit company here. said that eight of the boxes were sent a month ago to four firms. Police were tracing these shipments but believed that the box that was their clue had been discarded in the Central Market area.
 The other, a frozen fiShcontainer, was traced to a market stand where it had been discarded a month ago.
 There were silver dental crowns in the woman's upper jaw, which a dentist might be able to iden- tify. A print, taken from the dried skin of one of her thumbs, was sent to the Federal Bureau of Iden- tification in Washington. If she had ever been fingerprinted, her identity will be established.
 Find Some Clues
 Detective Merylo also found one clue that linked the case with a previous one of the mad butchers" It was a striped pillow casing that had been wrapped about part of the womans body. There were chicken feathers in the burlap sack that contained the body of Mrs. Florence Polila, victim No. 3, found three years ago. Merylo believed that the feathers might have come from this pillow case. He was checking companies that fill pillows with chicken feathers.
