Relieve Toronto Strangling Murcler Cases Now Solved

TORONTO (CF) - A man be- lieved to have strangled two To- nnto women in the waning months nl I954 was reported Monday a pa- iirnt hi the Ontario hospital wing lnr the criminally insane at Perle- ianguishene.

Police said the man has been in hospital custody for almost a year and likely never will be releiised from the institution because of his mental c ndition.

Chief 1 Detectives Archie Mc- ,atlu'e said police believe. but have n proof, he is the man who stran-

led Mrs. Mary Llpoweckyj 46.

ept. 24 and 24 days later throt- led and raped 25-year-old Mrs. Olga Zachsrko. .

The two slayings precipitated a two-month police search for the killer. A series of assaults that tul- lowed were reported linked with the slayings.

Police publicly warned women to stay off lll-lighted streets and res- taurant and night club managers were asked to make sure woman employees were given safe conduct home.

The two slayings went unsolved and no one was prosecuted or co- 'lclf'd of either.

FOUND IN ALLEY

The nude body of Mrs. Lipo- -vockyj was found in an alley near her home. An autopsy revealed she tad been strangled and her.-aegis

broken. Her body had been pierced with a pin or needle.

On Oct. 19 Mrs. Zacharko was found dead in another alley in the same .wcst-central section of the city. She had been strangled and raped and most of her clothing torn off. Again the body had been pierced with a pin. V .

Police noted a similarity in the method of the killings. Both women were Ukrainian immigrants. It was thought their assailant must have been able to address them in their own language. .

Chief Inspector Mccathie said the Penetanguishene patient was arrested in February last year after a woman complained of a man who attacked her and tried to cut her hair with scissors.

Charged with assault and causing bodily harm he was found unfit to stand trial and taken to the On- tario mental hospital at Whitby

In December. 1955. he was re- moved to 'r' netanguishene after police said an investigation indi- cated he may have been involved in the two stranglings. The man. also a Ukrainian immigrant, was described as I schizophrenic who could have a grudge-fixation against .

Strange But True Ily 1''. ll. MacArthur

More than 100.0!!! acres of orange trees have ten planted in Florida in the past ten years but the de- velopment of concentrate industry. as well as the growth in population. have made it almost as hard as ever for the supply to keep up with the d-nnand. K

A good business for someone to in Prince Edward Island should be raising Christmas trees. No other farm commodity brings i. so much cash for so little effort. Most of the Chrlnmas trees reach- thls state come from Canada. There's plenty of run out land in our Island that could be given over to the growing of Christmas trees. not the big fellows however, as the market now calls for small trees that can be set up on a radio or T.V. set.

Of the millions of cones pro- duced each year by the mighty sequoia trees only a few grow and these few often lie in the ground for 20 years before germinating. But what's time to a seed whose parent trees are 4000 years old?

They say that not two people have exactly the same finger prints. Maybe. but a criminal once left his big toe print instead of his thumb print, to throw the cops off the track in case he was caught. He did this by cutting a mask to black out part of the toe print and cut it down to the size of his thumb print. Be reaso. ". correctly that the toe and thumb print would be different. However, he was caught ind identified by his toe print.

The first farmers hand book on

record was written 2.000 years ago. or shortly before the birth of Jesus. It told the farmers how to farm. Modern text books are telling them the same thing only in dif- ferent words. We have some pretty good farmers in the Island who never looked at a farmer's hand- book. Did you know that Eric the Red's G. nland colony was a republic from the time it was established in 906 A.D. until 1251. when it was wiped out in the Eskimo Wars?
