That's probably why you can't find the arms"
An intensive pathological study of the re-
mains failed to support his story. To begin
with, il was found that the bones had been
packed in lime. AS whoever had done the
packing had doubt expected, the lime had
already corroded most Of the skeleton; but
as he couldn't possibly have expected-with-
out medical training the same corrosive
agent had no effect whatsoever on the one
bone the pathologists were most interested in
That bone was the hyoid. One of its pecu-
liarities is that it is impervious to the action
of lime. Moreover, this one was found to have
been fractured in way that could have re-
suited only from strangulation.
So now instead of just bag of bones, the
doctors had corpus deficit on their hands.

that he remembered having seen figure dart
