I just found a numeric representation of "Zodiac Cipher #2" which is an
apparently still unsolved cipher related to a murder case in San
Francisco in the 1960's-70's.  I know next to nothing about this story.
  Apparently, there were other ciphers which were broken which detail
the crazed killer's desire to turn his victims into slaves (why not?)
Can anyone out there direct me to some literature or provide details on
this story?  I spoke briefly with Frederick Chesson, who had broken one
of the other ciphers.  The type of this 2nd cipher appears to be a weak 
homophonic substitution of 340 character length.

Thanks,
