There was the Negro woman, pinned to the ground by cops, one of them with his knee dug into her throat.

Doctors doubted whether Freeman would ever be able to talk normally again, but he went through a prolonged course of speech therapy and, being an exceedingly determined man, developed into a strong-voiced orator...

Two weeks later, greying Physiotherapist Nina Nichols, 68, was found on her bedroom floor, two knotted stockings around her neck. Two days later, it was Helen Blake, 65, a practical nurse, found strangled by two knotted stockings entwined with a brassiere. Eight days more, and Margaret Davis, 60, was discovered manually strangled in a cheap hotel room. On Aug. 21, Ida Irga, 75, was throttled with a pillowcase; her body was found on her living-room...
