XO CLUE TO TAMPA KILLER. Murders and Assaults Spread Terror in Florida City. Tampa, Fla., Oct. 5.?The red light district of this city is terrorized by the operations of "the killer." a negro, who in the past ten days has killed three persons?two women and a man?and in a period of eight weeks wounded five others, all women. "The killer" started his operations as an incendiary. Daily for several weeks the police and fire chiefs received letters telling them that unless the red light district was cut out the town would be burned. These letters were iuuuweu vy uuuua^iations, almost always in the red light district, sometimes as many as four in one night. Finally "the killer" announced he had decided to w*ipe out the people rather than the buildings, and the shootings commenced. Each Saturday night for several weeks a woman was shot. At first only negro women were the victims. Two weeks ago "the killer" entered the home of Mrs. Luisa Rodriguez, on 5th avenue, and shot her dead in the presence of her little son. Mrs. Rodriguez was not a member of the red light fraternity but had moved into that section. She was his first white victim. Wednesday night of this week Patrolman Godwin was shot at by "the killer," and he returned the fire, but the negro got ] away. Thursday night "the killer" < shot through an open window and fa- 1 tally wounded Viola Danford, a white < woman inmate of a house of ill-fame. 1 She died last night and one hour af- ] ter her death "the killer" got another victim, Vincenzo Canroa, manager cf \ a small grocery in the red light dis- ] trict. Canroa was instantly killed. < The police have made arrests right < along, but after each arrest got a ] letter from "the killer" telling them i that they had the wrong party. Some { believe that there is an organization here similar to the "before day" gangs that have at times terrorized other SouthernIcities. j Blessed Be Men Says Minister. Worcester, Mass., Oct. 5.?Rev. C. k F. Hill Cra.thern, pastor of the Par.v c Congregational church, has perpared 1 a set of Biblical beatitudes brought 1 up to date. Here are some of his s amendments: "Blessed are the men who accom- * pany their wives to church, for they 1 shall save them from the suspicion of -1 being widows. "Blessed are the singers in the J sanctuary who can sing and will sing, 1 for they shall never be sent to Sing ^ Sing. * "Blessed are the people who are ( not forgetful to entertain strangers, 1 for they shall entertain angels un- , a wares. "Blessed is he who walketh not in the counsel of the gossip, nor sitteth , in the seat of the fault finder, but , whose delight is in the peace and { prosperity of the church. His name ( shall be a continual praise in the 3 sanctuary, and liis friends shall be called legion. ( "Blessed are the church members who give the Lord and the minister 1 as little trouble as possible; who are , loyal to the church, regular in their , attendance, generous in their gifts, , gracious in their sympathies and hon- , orable in all their ways. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your ( reward on earth and in heaven." Bought Razor to Cut Own Throat. Atlanta, Oct. 5.?Neighbors on Whitehall street thought young Ern- 1 est Clark was beating his wife to death a night or two ago when they 1 heard blood-curdling shrieks emanating from the residence. They rushed in only to find that Clark was merely trying to prevent his bride from cutting her throat with a brand new razor which she ? had purchased for that purpose. She had also bought clothes in which she wanted to be buried, and had made elaborate preparations for her own funeral. She was not seriously hurt, and will recover, according to her husband.
