Strangler Clue Emerges in Augusta Murder Case
Deputy Sheriff Fred Brown says a key lead centers on a man Worcester saw with the victim near Augusta. Worcester describes a about 40 year old man with sandy facial hair seen riding with him and using a Augusta barber shop to trim a beard, with leads pointing toward a Cony House headquarters. The jury verdict cites death by unknown parties and Major Hartnett leads the coroner's inquiry as investigators pursue a strong hint.
