WHO'S TO BLAME9
To the razor OF The Trt6W"c.
SIRE would like TO ask through your paper,
Who to blame for the Nathan and osr murders in this
city especially and to answer, the victim himself, with
hundreds of other rich men. They are 50 devoted to
making money that they spend 40 time money
in securing good government FOR the city.
