CRIME MYSTERY.
SOLUTION SECURED. MUNICH, May 23. A woman clairvoyant assisted the police to solve an extraordinary drama of murder and suicide which followed the theft of 50 marks and caused six deaths in as many years. The affair began in 1928 when a woman was robbed and murdered at Schrobenhausen, and her nephew, Josef Boehm, arrested on suspicion, Soon afterwards her sister, whom, it was alleged, the murderer had terrorised into wiping up the blood, was found drowned. Boehm’s mother committed suicide, while in 1930 a neighbour, Ludwig Buerkel, who was cognisant of the crime, disappeared. The police recently rearrested Boehm and his father, but the formay committed suicide. Subsequently the clairvoyant conducted the police to the spot where they unearthed Buerkel’s head, while lier explanation of the circumstances, of which she was previously unaware, coincided with police information. The Eolice are now searching for Buekel’s ody. which the clairvoyant declares was buried, near the head. Meanwhile Boehm senior committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell.
