Unhinged. Yet Corona stands accused of wantonly slaughtering at least two dozen men, some of them drifters from Marysville's Skid Row. Indeed, his history has its seamy side. He and his elder brother Natividad, a known homosexual, came to the U.S. illegally in the late 1940s. They both won U.S. resident-alien permits, however, and began to prosper.

He was released as "cured." A year ago, he and Natividad were defendants in a civil suit filed in Yuba County by one José Raya; Raya won $250,000 in damages against Natividad for an attack, apparently with a machete. No judgment was entered against Juan. Police believe Natividad fled to Mexico two months ago. The Rev. Joseph Bishop...
