SOME FOLKS ARE NATURAL
tsMURDEREES," THEORY

LONDON, July There seems
to be q race OF human beings who
lay themselves out to be murdered
they are, to coin word,
smurderees.
This strilkingly original point Of
view is put forward by Miss Tenny.
son Jesse in q book she has Just
published on Murder and ITS
Motives" She advances the theory
that when the, laws OF attraction
and repulsion are more fully under.
stood than they are at present it
win be discovered. that murdererh
and .murderees send out wave
lengths that correspond as do, the
wave-lengths OF wireless between
two stations
Miss Jesse divides sne motives for
murder into six classes:
Murder for gain.
Murder for revenge.
Murder for elimination.
Murder from jealousy
Murder from lust Of kili1ng.
Murder from conviction.
