The murderer, after shooting
the Senator, turned the smoking
pistol upon himself and died with
his victim.
This bulletin is posted on the board in front of the Javelin office.
"What's happening?" asks one of the crowd of the man at his side. "Is
this a wholesale butchery planned by Anarchists, or is it a plot of the
Mafia?"
"God only knows," is the reply.
And to the thousands who stand waiting with breathless excitement for
the next announcement the inability to locate the source of the outburst
of violence is quite as complete as this man's. They realize that a
series of appalling crimes has been committed; yet none can ascribe the
least pretext for them.
The name of one after another of the leading magnates of the land is
posted as the victim of a simultaneous homicide, and the notion that it
is the work of anarchists begins to prevail.
JAVELIN BULLETIN.
Robert Drew, the Sugar King,
while riding in Central Park, was
stabbed to death by an assassin.
The man jumped into his carriage
as it was descending the hill
leading to the One Hundred and
Tenth Street entrance at Seventh
Avenue.
No sooner had the dagger been
buried in the heart of Mr. Drew
than the fanatic withdrew it and
plunged it into his own heart.
The murderer fell forward and
died even before his victim.
