Lungs. AFFAIR IS MYSTERY Police Now Believe Victim Was Not Mobile (Ala.) Business Man. June 3. An autopsy on the body of the torch murderer's victim Tuesday disclosed the man died as the result of a stab or gunshot wound in the This was revealed by Dr. Lawreuce A.
Lewis, deputy coroner, who imnutely dissected the body in order to determine definitely the manner in which the man, whose body was found burned in a smoldering automobile west of the city early Saturday, had met his death. Dr. Lewis said there was no bullet in the body so far as he could determine, but that there were definite traces of a' serious wound in the chest. The lungs were filled with blood, indicating heminclud-orrhages. "TE the man died as the result! of a gunshot wound," Dr: Lewis said, "the wound was caused by a bullet from a very small calibre I I found no trace of a bullet, however.
There was a definite wound in the right lung, which possibly might have been inflicted by a knife. The wound caused the death, and the man's! body was then burned." It also was pointed out by Dr. Lewis that the weight of the victim believed by some to have been Harold Herbert Schroeder, age 35, Mobile business man, could hardly have been more than 145 pounds, which is approximately thirty or thirty-five pounds less than Schroeder's, described weight. Although the murdered. man's body was found in Schroeder's burning car in the high school read a short distance north of the Rockville road, and insurance papers and a pocketbook carried Schroder's name, the autopsy, detectives said, tend to substantiate the theory that the man was not the victim of the Mullins Funeral.
