Hex Slayer Ends His Life in Buffalo Jail Cell
United Press reports Jonn Tryka a 14 year old meat packer who was to be charged with murdering Adolph Boettger hanged himself in his Central Park station jail cell. Police found him suspended from a bar after he had admitted beating Boettger to death with a wrench over an alleged evil curse. He died minutes after officers cut him down. Mrs Maggialene Tryka, arrested as an accomplice seen at the scene, claimed she tried to stop him but was coerced. Tryka had said Boettner treated him with “evil spirit” exorcisms for years and that payments of $1 to $2 made his family ill.
