CRIMES CAUSE PANIC.
YOUTHS KILLED IN GERMANY.
BODIES FOUND STABBED.
BERLIN, May 12
There is a panic at Ratibon, Upper Silesia, owing to a series of baffling knife attacks on youths, two of which proved fatal. People believe the Dusseldorf murderer is at work. As at Dusseldorf, there was no attempt ab robbery. In the first case a boy, aged 16, was found in the woods stabbed in tho heart n,nd neck.
Then a young commercial traveller was taken to hospital suffering from ferocious gashes in the body. He says his assailant jumped upon him unseen. Finally, a youthful tailor was found dead on Sunday morning, close to the place where the schoolboy had been killed a week before. The police have arrested Hauser, a Czech, who was alleged to have been in possession of a bloodstained dagger, but the public refuse to be calmed.
