He is believed to be a negro maniac,

him.
He usually kills by hacking and
smashing the life from his victims. 1t
is believed that he uses a short hand
ak in each case and that his sole OBJ
iect is to kill, as robbery has not been
connected with any OF the cases. His
victims are usually suburban grocers,

No clews are ever lett behind, and
the police do not even have finger

leave their homes after dark. Lorenzo
was the only man attacked who lived
