Murders
Of
Berlin, May 28. Berlin police hunted today for a strange killer who wrapped the head of his victim in a Communist newspaper. The finding of 18 bodies, six of them women, in less than a month has local policemen scrambling through the city searching for slayers who strangled, drowned or beat their victims to death. Still unidentified is the head of a man, wrapped in the January 17 issue of the Left Wing "V waerts,"
found nearly three weeks ago in the rubble of a house in the Russian sector of Berlin. The head had been nearly severed and there were no traces of injury.
