WOMAN,
SHE KILLED TWO MEN
MRS. MARTHA RUTH JACOBY, aged 59, who gassed herself in a room in Newington Butts, S.E., killed two men in nine years.
This can now be revealed following an inquest at South- wark on Walter Bishop, aged 48, with whom she had been living. It was stated that when Bishop returned home under the influence of drink, Mra. Jacoby struck him on the head with a hatchet.
He died a few minutes later.

The most popular job has been delivering parcels, for even in present-day Ger- many the recipient of a Christmas parcel rarely falls to tip the postman.
Many parents are none too happy about the busi- ness. despite the extra pocket money which their boys get.
They doubt whether this sort of work during the all- too-short Christmas holiday is good for such youngsters. Of course, the older boys also spend much of their holiday in pre-military train- ing and work for the Party.
