Man Killed in House Of German Official; Victim Unidentified New York, Dec. 6.
The New York police are investigating the strange circumstances which led to the death of a man whose body was found today in the Brooklyn house of Dr. Walter Engel-berg; Secretary of the German Consul-General in New York. Adding to the mystery, Dr. Engelberg is himself missing, and at one time, it was thought that he had been murdered and that the body was his.
Subsequent investigations, however, revealed little concrete evidence as to the identity of the body and the police are now obliged to consider it unidentified.
The New York "Daily News" reports that the head of the man was so battered that the features were un-recognisable, but the description given by the medical examination differed considerably in height, weight and colour of hair from the description of Dr. Engelberg given by neighbours.
The police were informed by the German Consulate today that Dr. Engelberg had not been to work for several days and that his telephone had not been answered.
