FRAUD RACKET IS
CAUSE OF DEATHS
INVESTIGATION SHOWS
VICTIMS MURDERED
FOR INSURANCE
SPRINGFIELD, Maas., June 15
(TP)—State detectives expressed the
belief today that a dozen mysterious
deaths could be traced to the opera

Investigators said that the ring
took out insurance on destitute Polish
residents in the Springfield area and
then made away with them to collect
the insurance. The man V’ho Is re
sponsible for starting the Investiga

Mass., said there have been more
than 35 mysterious deaths in his
legion in recent years.

AIR-CONDITIONED
Refrigerators
A modern ice refrigerator will cost you only half
the amount you are figuring on spending. It will
use so little ice that the ice service man need come
only once in several days. Foods stay fresh longer
because they don’t dry out. Strong food odors don’t
taint other foods . . . because, they are quickly car
ried away through the air-conditioning chamber. In
this way foods retain all their natural nourishment
and there is no loss through spoilage. Only ICE can
give this kind of refrigeration.

and platforms for speakers. There
is even a first-aid booth.
The farm people have scheduled

ing for the women.

rate preparations for the outing. Then
she said: “This threatens to out-nick
any picnic ever held.”

te mouth to the stomach—died by his
own hand in Charlotte Saturday.
He is Earl Lanford who operated
a Charlotte restaurant. While he
catered to the normal appetites of
thousands of others, in order to eat
himself he was obliged every day to
swallow a steel ball in order to open
his throat so that he could force
food down.
His strange malady had been writ
ten about in medical Journals through
out the world and physicians by
thousands came to visit him in his
lifetime to observe the condition.
Lanford was found at his home
Saturday morning. A pistol was in
his hand. He had shot himself
through the head.
