Letter-Writing Murdered Kills Again.

The letter writing murderer in New York City, who killed 5-year-old Elinore Cohn and 4-year-old Charley Murray, has written the mother of the latter that as soon as the present excitement over the murder of her son has subisded, he will kill another child somewhere in the city. Shortly after the killing of the Cohn girl a suspect was arrested and in order to prove the man innocent the murderer wrote a letter to the police telling them that the man was innocent and to prove it he would murder another. The murder of the Murray boy followed shortly after. The police are baffled by the clever work of the murderer.
