SUICIDE OR MURDER?
(Received 25th November, 9 a.m.)
LONDON, 24th November. Did George Vaughan, a 17-year-old butcher's assistant, commit suicide, or was he the victim of a fiendish murder is a problem facing the Wolverhampton police. The father reported the. lad missing last night, and his decapitated body was found on the Midland railway near Mosley. He attended a .cinema in the evening. When tho body was discovered it was evident that the neck had been tied to the rails by a piece of cord in a manner difficult for the youth to tie himself. The police, therefore, are inclined to suspect foul play, and suggest that a maniac induced Vaughan to come to tho railway, and after stunning him, tied him to the mntals to give the appearance of suicide. Vaugban had no known worry.
