L. P. D York A Strange Epidemic of Murders City in Which Dan Cupid Plays the Jensen, That there is really an epidemic of crimes in the sacred name of love might well appear from the recent startling record cf fatal tragedies, a large proportion of which have had their scene in New York. "I killed her because I thought she ivas not true to me," said Julius Hoffman, as he looked from the New York police to dying Draga Seigel. "Will you take me back?" demanded Henry Fischner of Johanna Hoefer, an attractive young waitress who .was on duty at her uncle's lunch room, 821 Tenth avenue, and as she didn't reply he shot her down in cold blood, then turned the-- weapon on himself. Thus, on the police blotter, within 24 hours two more murders were enlarged to the blind little god, Love. Why has Cupid traded his well beloved and gentle weapons, the bow and arrow, for the more formidable revolver? In the days when Love was young, and the simple life an actuality, not a theory, Cupid tipped his arrow with and aimed it with golden a laugh. in New York, with its strange commingling of foreign elements, its nervous tension, its glittering pleasures and its appalling loneliness, Cupid ofttimes loads his newly acquired weapon with death-dealinbullets and sends them flying to the accompaniment of a groan or a curse. Within the past 12 months Love's hand has aimed more deadly weapons than Bacchus, or Greed, or , sudRevenge, or Hatred. den fury following on the heels of a business quarrel, these and all other causes must give Love precedence as the power behind the gun, the knife, the stiletto. Just a year ago, in an obscure downtown hotel, Louis G. Hampton, a man of family, social and business standing, shot and killed first the woman he loved and then himself. The woman in the case was Victoria Tacz-kow- , a beautiful salesgirl in a department store. She was 32 years the junior of her wealthy and influential admirer, who was an official of the United States Trust company, of Wall street. She did not know he was married. She was waiting for the death of his aged mother to relieve him of certain domestic responsibilities and set him free to marry the girl he loved. Her name was above reproach. Her family knew of her love affair and approved of the supposedly prospective marriage. What happened between these two behind the barred door of the obscure hotel no one known. Perhaps the girl had learned the hideous truth, and told the man she no longer loved him that she was leaving him forever.

To be sure, this was because Marie had heard that Leo had another wife in Italy, but the jealous Italian had passed' the stage where the marriage vows counted against power of the little god and so he, too, raised his revolver and shot the girl through the heart. Five days later George Fallen, who ran a flower stand at Eighty-firs- t street and Columbus avenue, shot and killed Mrs. Madeline Wiedman, the wife of his business neighbor, John Wiedman. a news dealer. Mrs. Wiedman was a striking brunette who with her assistant, Miss Ratel, plied the trade of manicuring at the Endicott She lived at No. 80 West hotel.

I ly: love you, and I'm going to have you." Then again the fatal shot and another at Mrs. Wriedman's assistant, who came to her rescue, and still a third and a sharp knife at his own throat.
