Average Per 100000.

New York, Dec. 1.-Homicides in
the United States during 1920 totalled
approximately 5000, a decrease of 500
for the 1919 record, according to a
computation by Frederick L. Hoff-
man, third vice president and statis-
tician of the Prudential Life Insur-
ance company of America.
The figures, made public last night

In general, the tables showed that
southern states with large negro pop
ulatiens had the highest homicide
rate, and that the proportion of ne
groes slain was from three and a half
to seven times that of whites. Aver
age was slightly in excess OF four to
one.
Tabulations for the period of 1916
1919, grouped geographically, showed
the New England states to be most
law abiding so far as homicide was
concerned, with a rate of 2.8 for each
100000. The southern group had the

a series of the most heinous crimes
in the history of French jurisprudence.

While the verdict was awaited, the
convicted slayer of ten women and a

to his counsel, NJ. -Moro-Giafferi, who,
tired and worn out after his stFenu-
Gus efforts to save his client from
death, was on the verge of collapse.
"Strange it is that a man standing
in the shadow of death should con-

at one time to those sitting nearby.

VICTIMIzED BANKS WHOLESALE
Alleged Venezuelan RevoIuttonist
Gets S12s. 900 in Stock Deals.

San Francisco, Dec. with Ne
vada authorities searching for Monte
Berg, alleged former Venezuelan
reVolutionist, to answer a summons to
a $4,000 suit brought in Reno, it was
learned today at the state banking
department here that Berg is alleged
to have secured $12S,000 from four
city banking institutions thru a pro-
cess of borrowing on bogus stock Ger
tificates.
Berg, according to reports to State
Banking Commissioner Dodge, entered
upon a career of high finance on his
return from France, where he served
as a soldier. He married a wealthy
Oakland woman, it was declared, and
became president of two northern
county banks. He was recently re-
moved from the presidency of these
institutions at the instance of Dodge.
Both were fully protected, Dodge said,
but the banks from which Berg Dor
rowed are probably out the sums
advanced.
Berg is believed headed back to
South America.
