Did George Vaughan, a seventeen-year-old butcher’s assistant, commit suicide or was he the victim of a fiendish murder, is the problem facing the W'oiverhanipton police. The father reported the lad missing and last night and tlie decapitated body was found on tlie Midland railway near Moslem. He attended, a cinema in the evening, When discovered it was evident his neck had been tied to the rails by a piece of a cord, in a manner difficult for the youth to tie. The police are therefore inclined to suspect foul play and suggest a maniac induced Vaughan to come to the railway and after stunning him tied him to the metals to give the appearance of suicide. Vaughan had no known worry.
