Dirt George Vaughan, a 17-ycar-olc! butcher’s assistant, commit suicide or was ho a victim of a fiendish murder? This is the problem facing the Wolverhampton policeTlie father reported the lad as missing last night and his decapitated body was later found on tlie Midland Railway, near Mosley. Vaughan attended a cinema in tho evening.
When discovered it was evident that ills neck had been tied to the rails by a piece of cord In a manner difficult for the youth to tie. The police, therefore, are inclined to suspect foul play and suggest that a maniac induced Vaughan to come to the railway, and after stunning him tied him to the metals to give the appearance of suicide. Vaughan had no known worry.
