AMERICAN OFFICER IS
MURDERED BY FANATIC
Lieut.. Walter Rodney Killed by
Native Crazed With Passion
and ThriSting for Blood

MANILA. April 17--Lieut. Walter H.
Rodney, OF the Second United States cav
airy. stationed in the Augur barracks in
the department of Mindanao, was muir
dered today by a Moro Juramentado.
crazed with religious passion. who ran
amuck. thirsting for the blood of a Chris
tian
The assassin belongs to the Moham-
medan sect OF Juramentados. who have
taken an inviolable oath to shed the
blood of the hated Christian. They know
of what they consider a religious duty
II resulting in their own death, will be
rewarded with eternal bliss.
The fanatic was armed with a bolo,
and as he tore through the streets, those
who saw him fled in terror. He encoun-
tered Rodney seemingly by chance and
struck him down before the officer could
defend himself
Lieutenant Rodney was a native of
California and 81 years of age. He was
appointed a second lieutenant in the cav
airy some years ago and was made first
lieutenant in the second cavalry on Aug
ust last.
The Juramentados combine the per-
Torrance or renglouS duty with the
patriotic satisfaction of killing their
Christian enemies. Frequently they are
debtors. who by the laws of Sulu and
bankrupt become with their wives and
children the slaves of their creditor.
The debtor is taught that hecan liberate
his family from bondage only by the
sacrifice of his own life for the murder
of Christian. The panditas encourage
him in his resolve and hold out visions
of paradise. perpetual happiness and
beautiful horses.
When his religious fervor has become
a frenzy the mailman arms himself and
blindly sets out to slay the first Christ
ian he may overtake.
