Show STRASBURG - THAT STAID yet renowned city, has a sensation. Each day a stranger makes his appearance at nightfall in the less frequented thoroughfares, armed with a double edged ??? and as soon as he perceives an unprotected female strikes her on the left breast with his weapon, inflicting a slight wound of from half to three quarters of an inch deep. He has already succeeded in stabbing fifteen women, upon each occasion taking to flight before his victim had sufficiently recovered from their terror to raise an alarm. The Imperial police authorities have made search for him. A large reward is now offered by the Governor for the seizure of the modern cupid. |
