Police handed the cannibals over to the mission for rehabilitation. Under the tutelage of Los Angeles Mission Teacher Frances Dills, 50, the author of an unpublished manuscript, My Caddy Is a Cannibal, the boys reformed, learned manners, and, says she, "they are probably the only cannibals in the world who speak pidgin with an American accent...
