EVIDENCE OF A GHASTLY CRIME.
DECAPITATED BODY FOUND ON RAILWAY TRACK. PROBABLE DEED OF A MANIAC. (By Telegraph-Presa Assn.-Copyright.; (Received This Day, 9.10 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 24. Did George Vaughan, a 17-year-old butcher’s assistant, commit suicide w was ho the victim of a fiendish murder, is the problem, facing the Wolverhampton police. His father reported that the lad was missing last night, and his decapitated body was found on the Midland railway near Mosley. Ho had attended a cinema in the evening When the 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 himself to tie. The police are therefore inclined to suspect foul play. They suggest that a maniac induced Vaughan* to come to the railway, and, after stunning him, tied him to the metals to give the* appearance of suicide. Vaughan had no known worry.
