MURDERED FOR INSURANCE

The recent exposure Of the crime Of
a negro doctor IN Philadelphia, reveals
several circumstances which must be
set down as strange.
This doctor appears TO have sup.
piled his clients with poison for the
purpose Of numbering persons with a
lie insurance. He had a regular price
for the services rendered. and car
rled on the business with as little
conjunction as n it had been legiu-
mate. He made murder a regular
source Of income.
And the strange fact IN this connec-
ton Is that respectable physicians fall
ca to detect the cause Of death Of the
Victims they were called 20 attend. The
eject of the poison was such that doc
tors diagnosed the sickness as heart
failure. or some other disease. and
death certificates were issued accord
