In the Metropolis Within the
Last Year,
ONE HUNDRED CRIMES

New York. Nov, a-The New York
World says;
About sixty, known murders have been
committed in Manhattan within a year
and nearly forty II Brooklyn-nearly one
hundred in all
Besides these there were probably many
unknown over two hundred bodies were
brought 70 the Morgue last year which
we're never identified The cause OF death
n many cases must ever remain IN
known.
The number Of convictions IN the sixty
Manhattan cases is very small ard not
one death sentence has get been passed
There are, however. in the Tombs al
present thiTty-one men and two women
awaiting trial on charges q murder. OF
these Iictle more than half are held Ter
crimes committed within a year
IN eight Of the dfty Manhattan cases
The knife was used
IN fifteen cases out u the hundred the
murdered committed or attempted suicide.
"A majority Of these murders were the
result Of domestic difficulties or jealousies
over women. n all revolver was the
weapon used.
The principle cases OF this kind in
Manhattan were:
April Charles II. Worthem shot his
wife and I'VE hours later himself.
March Son q death compact Ida Rue
bac was shot by Sigmund Blanc. and then
killed himself
August christian CAM shot Arthur
Campbell. Lizzie Han and then himself.

June 50-George Slater killed his wife
n a 1T Of Jealousy and then killed him
self
July 1s-Hyrnan --0-.man, IN a drunken
rage. shot MS wife ard ---nself.
The most prominent case OF murder
and suicide was that OF william c. Turn
er. who shot his business partners, Al
bert Hamilton. Of Pittsburg. and William
J. Mallard. Jr, OF New York. and then
turned the revolver upon himself
But these cases are wherein the law
had little part. There are many others
stu a mystery.
Among the most prominent prisoners
n the Tombs on murder charges are:
William Hooper Young. charged with
the murder Of Anna Nelson Pulitzer in
the Clarence apartment house on Septem-
her Is.
