...Goriest incident of the week was the murder of six women (three Czechs, two Slovaks, one German), of whom one was buried alive, one burned. Murder motives were hopelessly, perhaps deliberately tangled, though Germans hinted Czechs killed the women because they befriended Nazis...
...Holiday. In 1935 Harry C. Pearson, a onetime Chicago insurance-man, took his wife and camera to Central Africa, trekked 11,000 miles through the jungle.
