Deaf Mute Gives Lead To Slayings
In Chicago a 52 year old deaf mute, previously unable to communicate, claims he witnessed a fight between two men near the Robinson Woods forest preserve on Oct. 17 the night three local boys were slain. He says he then saw the naked bodies the next morning. Authorities seek to connect this account with the murders of Robert Peterson 14 John Schuessler 13 and Anton Schuessler 11. His brother Edward disputes the tale, saying he saw nothing unusual. Police say lie detector results supported Edward’s account on prior questioning.
