INARTICULATE SKELETON
PRISONER FOR THIRTY YEARS
PEASANT BRUTALITY REVEALED. INVESTIGATORS MEET RESISTENCE. By Tele.ra.ph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Rec .7.25 p.m. Berlin, Nov. 19. The police at Nimptsch, in Silesia, discovered an incredible case of peasant brutality. The weak-minded daughter of a local farmer disappeared 30 years ago. Rumours prompted the police to investigate at the farm, where they met with such violent resistence that they were obliged to summon reinforcements. When the farmer was overcome they found the missing woman locked in a small dark room, from which she had not emerged for 30 years. She was taken to hospital. She is living, but is an almost inarticulate skeleton.
