Hand of a Hex Doctor Seen in Mystery Death
The hand of a Pennsylvania hex doctor was linked to the death of Norman B. Bechtel in Germantown. Bechtel, a Mennonite Church worker, died from seven heart wounds after a single thrust of a slim blade. Curved facial markings were found on his forehead and investigators connected the slaying to occult markings. John Colen, a Black garageman attendant, was arrested after being seen at Bechtel's apartment and tending his car.
