TWENTY VICTIMS
RUSSIAN MURDERER ENGINEER’S DUAL PERSONALITY DIABOLICAL CUNNING (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, June 7. The Moscow correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says that an engineer, Ivan Milisheff, aged 40, was shot for murdering at Kharkov twenty young women at the rate of three a week. Milisheff was a sort of dual personality and was happily married, being eminently respectable. He used diabolical cunning in covering his tracks. He was suspected only when a former detective saw him rubbing snow on his shoes to remove bloodstains and dust after the body of his twentieth victim had been found. Ordinarily murder is not a capital crime in Russia, so Milisheff was executed for anti-social banditism.
