Torso victim: Here's the torso victim's head as reconstructed by Coroner Samuel R. Gerber. Gerber and his staff, by immersing the severed head in various solutions, succeeded in bringing out the naturalcontours of the face which has been coated with wax after the features were built up with cotton. Gerber said that distinguishing marks were a slight scar on the lower left lip, a triangular scar on the left eyebrow, a mole on the forehead and slightly protruding teeth. The victom was 35 or 40, stood five feet 10 inches tall and weighed between 155 and 165. Courtesy: Cleveland Memory Project
