CLAIRVOYANCE HELPS
AMAZING MYSTERY SOLVED. A police search made with the help of a clairvoyant, has cleared up an amazing mystery of murder and suicide. which started with a theft of £2 10/ and has caused six deaths in six years. At Christmas, 1928. a woman at Schrobenhausen. Bavaria, was murdered and robbed of 50 marks (£2 10/). Her nephew, Josef Boehm, of Arresing, was suspected. Soon afterwards the woman’s sister who. it is alleged, was terrorised by the murderer into wiping up the traces of blood, was found drowned, and Boehm’s mothey died of poisoning, apparently self-inflicted. In 1930, Ludwig Buerkel, a neighbour, who knew something about the crime, disappeared.
Recently the police arrested Boehm and his father. Some time later the younger Boehm hanged himself in his cell. His father was released.
A few days later a women clairvoyant conducted the police |to a spot four miles from the village where she said Buerkel’s head was buried. This proved to be accurate, and her story of the whole series of crimes, although she knew neither the scene nor the characters, tallied with the police information.
Boehm’s father was then rearrested and has now hanged himself in his cell.
