BOY'S MURDER SCARE
ARM WENT TO SLEEP. B'elated night-club habitues wandering home through the Kaerntner- _ strasse (Vienna) recently were horrified to see a human hand protruding from a trunk on the back of an auto- - mobile travelling at high speed. Remembering the recent murder and dismemberment of a woman, they notified a policeman, who commandeered the next car and soon overhauled the "murder car." The policeman promptly opened tlre trunk and found the hand attached to the wrist of a live but frightened urchin of 12 years or so. The boy said he wanted to steal a ride .and had crawled into the trunk, closing it except for a slit to admit air. During the ride his arai "went to sleep," and as the car went up the Kaerntnerstrasse he stretched it out stiffly while the blood ran back into his frozen hand.
