Description
Authorities have termed Gordon Stewart Northcott an "ape man," and Sanford Clark has described him as being "covered with hair." The picture of a hairy ape man is the cover of a pamphlet describing books about primitive men. This is being investigated as clues to a possible "complex" of Northcott. The pamphlet was found in the Northcott home.
