WHOLESALE MURDER.
3 Snnm Hill Pfnnle.

From the Snow Hill People.
The hand of the murderer has been
seen again In our midst Just as the
horror of the brutal attack, resulting
in death. upon the old recluse. Sam
uel Chathem, was beginning to abate,
comes another and greater tragedy IN
the deliberate. cold-blooded killing OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Levin Robertson and AL
ONO Redden.
The reckless abandon with which
Grano, the italian, shot down his un-
suspecting victims has struck the COM
munity with amazement and conster-
nation. Nothing like it has ever been
witnessed by our peaceful and law
abiding citizens of this community. 1t
surpasses all other crimes in the an
nails OF Worcester county history in
deliberateness, wantoness and ground
lessness.
Grano's hell-horn atrocity is fur
ther accentuated by the perfidy OF his
story which attempts to impeach the
virtue Of Mrs. Robertson in which he
claims that she was improperly
friendly with him and that he was
supplanted in her affections by Red
den.
Undoubtedly Grano was wildly in
love with Mrs. Robertson who re-
PEELED his advances which caused him
in his disturbed state of mind, 10 i'm
agine that Redden was a rival. APP
parently the murderer has socialistiC
| ideas and is q believer in free love
| for he seemed never to consider that
/ Mr.. Robertson had a claim on his
wife's affections. His only spite
against his former employer appar.
J emily was because he had dismissed
him from his employ thus removing
him from the Robertson household.
The victims were all highly respect
ed and loved by those who knew them
/ Mr.. Robertson was an industrious
/ honest. progressive farmer and Mrs
Robertson was a worthy and deserv
ing helpmate During their residence
of four years at their late home the!
made many friends by their sterlinl
qualities. Alonzo Redden comes from
q highly respected family and naugh
/ but good can be said Of him.
Infuriated citizens were bent on
lynching bee last Monday but alert
ness of the officers prevented any fur
ther coloring to our criminal history
Il is red enough already. The sever
est penalty that can be meted out q
this william is that Of death, and thi
he most certainly ought to receive a
an early date.

TIRED or SUCH OPPOSITION.

From the Dover State Sentinel
The Index is still opposing the build
ing of the DUPONT boulevard. Practi-
oslly all of the people of Delaware are
becoming very sick and tired of such
opposition, for they find tina il comes
chiefly from those who are personally
or politically interested in delaying
the building of this road The road
will be built because the people want
it, and now see clearly that It VIII be
of great benefit TO the State. Opposi-
tion is iniuring only thos who oppose
the road, and can no longer delay the

THE rNpEsIRABLE sIxTY.

From the Milford Chronicle.
II there could be thirty white peo-
pie, and about as many more black
people taken out Of Milford and con-
fined in the workhouse. or some other
place where they could not disturb
the public peace, there would be ab-
solutely no use for police for the ball
ance OF the inhabitants Of Milford.
u is possible that about the same
number would have to be taken from
among those who come to Milford
each week from neighboring districts,
and be cared for by the public at
large, to completely eliminate law
lessness from the records Of Milford.
This shows that less than one-half
OF one per cent Of the people are
responsible for the cost Of maintain
ing the police forces OF the town. and
disturbing the peace generally. After
the raid three weeks ago the town OF
Milford experienced a quietness that
was remarkable; but three OF the
culprits reached home last Saturday.
after being let off by the judges on
one pretext or another. the old busi-
ness started up again, and the brawl-
ing was renewed on a small scale.
I Yet the sentencing Of one young
negro, who absolutely lied in his testi-
mony to the Attorney General in
person. has been q good lesson, as
he received a sentence OF one year in
the workhouse for that offense alone.
That should be a lesson to others
that will be a benefit Better tell
the truth and let the other fellow
manage his own trouble The moral
and law abiding citizens are pleased
/ that the town officials are enforcing
the laws. and making the town bet
ter TO live in. Let every man do his
duty. and the offenders will be lodged
/ in iaii. and not be able TO disturb
| the public peace.

C0ID.rA0ODED MURDER.

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
The editorial in the Baltimore
American of last Wednesday regard
ing the crime Of Frank Grano' was
very uufortunate The American
could not have been acquainted with
the life Of this self-confessed MUIR
derer of four people when il pub
lished its comment on his mental
condition and claimed for him ire
sponsibility for the horrible crime he
had lust committed The American
did not know that in 1913 Grano
killed his own wife in Philadelphia,
and that he successfully escaped from
the Philadelphia authorities and
changed his name several times 10
avoid detection. He admits that he
killed his wife through jealousy. He
admits that he killed Mrs. Robinson
through jealousy. and her husband
and Mr. Redden. because The says)
that they knew that he loved Mrs.
Robinson and had frustrated his
plans. The people here believe him
to be a liar, and that he not only
killed these people in cold blood be-
cause he desired to cover up some
other crime, but he has also attempt
ed to blacken their character and
has done so irreparably.
Our people are a law-abidine peo-
pie, they DO not believe in lynch law
but they have been so wrought up
by the hellish deeds OF this Italian
that they could not contain them
selves. They we're afraid that by
some hook or crook he would not re-
ceive the punishment he deserves
They need have no fears however
for our authorities are familiar with
the case and they will see to il that
he does not escape the penalty of his
crime.

THE MILKMAN.

From the Delmar News-Heralo. A
The milkman woes his weary way
before the rising Of the sun; he
earns a hundred benes a day, and Of
ten takes in less than one. While
lucky people snore and browse and
bask in dreams Of rare delight, he
takes a stool and milks his cows
about the middle Of the night If you
have MIXED an old red COW. bumped
DER a six-gallon pail and had her
swat YOU on the brow with seven feet
of bury tail, you'll know the milk
man ought to get a plunk for every
pints he sells; he earns his pay in
blood and sweat and sorrow in his
bosom dwells. As through the city
streets he goes. he has to sound his
brazen gong, and people wake up
from their doze, and curse him as
he goes along. He has to stagger
through the snow when others stay
at home and snore; anc through the
rain he has to 60 to take the COW
iuice to your door. Through storm
and food and sun, end rain the milk
man goes upon the jump; and all
his customers complain and make al
lusions to his pump. Because Que
milkman milks the creek instead OF
milking spotted COWS, against the
whole brave tribe we kick and stir
up everlasting rows. Yet patiently
they 60 their way. distributing theit
healthful juice. and what they do not
get ia pay they have to take Out

A nANerROus NEwARK MYsTERY

From the Newark Ledger.
Some of these days Main street will
witness a killing or some one seri-
ously hurt. IL Is not worth while
TO mention the cause Of this. because
our people know what It Is that
menacos them frequently. II is not
the intention OF any man TO hurt his
fellow man, if it can possibly be
avoided. but accidents occur, and
some Of them are placed TO careless
ness. A life that has been snuhed
out cannot be brought back by
apologies or sympathy.
Warnings have been posted, but lit
tie attention is paid by some. Tho
hurry OF the average American rushes
them along at speed that jeopardizes
the lives Of our people.
II is our hope that this town may
never witness an accident. Speed
kings may rush through for years and
no one injured, but some one may
be hurt any moment. A little warn
ing TO the cock-sure drivers may
cause more carefulness on their part.

From the Seaford News.
That our town is a live town ls
easy OF demonstration. More husi-
ness is done now at this time OF year
than has been done for several years.
We are not DESTROYS Of having the
public think we are suffering from

streets are crowded early and late
people with teams are bringing IN
produce and exchanging it for goods
and our merchants are paying the

not slow to take advantage Of this
opportunity and get the bargains as
advertised by our merchants.
