Show The murder, in Chicago, of Miss Mary C. Mulveil. by a detective on the police force of than f city, who, aft"r committing the- dastardly deed, took his own life, has caused unu.-ual inMignation. This is due to the fact that the victim was a young woman with a heart of gold, dispensing charity s munificently and yet so unostentatiously that sh was given the appelation of "The Angel of tho Parish." It is natural that the crime should be? regarded as all the more abhorent because of the beautiful character of the deceased, but it does not present an incomprehensible anomaly. When the heart of a man becomes possessed by a murderous murder-ous mania, he docs not take into consideration thu J character of the person against whom it is directed. di-rected. In a majority of cases, perhaps, the victims vic-tims of the assasVms' assaults are persons more -f than commonly entitled to the good will and esteem of their fellow men. In this case, the assassin became be-came infatuated with his victim, as men with evil hearts sometimes will with the good and tho. pure, and became exasperated because his unwel- come attentions were repulsed. |
