with n group of forty young, men ami

now offering free preventative, treat

treatments consist of breathing a rati

the treatment, the groups including
from 100 to 100 daily. Five minutes
a day in the chlorine air makes ,up
the treatment.

Bastrop La., March 8. (By the As
sociated Press) Persons who have

mutilated IsMlies of Watt Daniel and
i. r. Kieiiaru. touiiit in i.ase ..a
Kourcbe Deceiulier last, ami wTin

declared they believe they have Identi
lied the so-called "tort ore machine'' as
one of the many road or farm trncinrs
used throughout the parish.
Daniel and Richard -were kidnapped
on Angus; LM. and nothing was heard
of them uniil four months later when
the two hodies were discovered in the
lake, and identified as those of the
missing men. the head of each was
rushed to a pulp the scalp and skin .
forming a sack containing the shatter
ed skulls.
The hands and feet of each had
been crushed off, and at equal dis
tunees the lower legs, thighs, upper
ainis and forearms were broken. The
chests had lieen .brushed in. the ribs
turn from Ihe breastplates, and the
Itcsh mi the man identified as Daniel,
had hoi n forced In submit to a serious
surgical operation.
The pathologists testified at Ihe op
en hearing In January that nn exam
ination of the muscles al the stumps
of the legs and arms and t the frac
tures indicated that the wounds bail
been inflicted before or just after
death, basing I heir opinions upon
trail's of blood found tn the muscles.
The heart of each man. they said, bad
been drained of blood, indicating that
virtually; all of ihc fluid had eicniied
from lleS bodies. '
About three miles from nstrop on
the Itaslrop-Collinstoii-Monroe high
way is a huge tractor used to pull il
road scraper, a typical machine of its
kinW, propelled by a heavy duty gas
oline motor.
The iron wheels are 7 or 8 feet in
diameter, while the rlrjs have a
width of approximately three feet.
Riveted to the rims to prevent the
wheels frc.m slipping in soft earth are
steel coats, the Width of the wueels
and about 15 inches apart.
The bodies apparently had been
stretched the full length when tiiey
were mutilated with the arms brought
above the head. Fractures of the
forearms were on a level with the
head and those who assert the bodies
must have been broken with a tractor
before they were stretched on the
ground and the machine run or pushed
over them. Such a machine as the one
near here, it is contended, would in
dict sucli injuries, the hea"y cleats on
the wide wheels fracturing the arm
and ieg bones, crushing the head and
chests, and severing completely the
hands nnd feel at the wr sts and just
above Hie ank es where little fl?sh
prelected the bores.
It is known that the authorities
had received numerous anonymous
letters from plantation owners and
farmers in all sections of the state
suggesting thai n tractor miist have
Iveen used, nnd the arguments to sus
tain the theory are similar to those
advanced here.
