Groat Berlin, July 28 (United Press)— Berlin is suffering this season.with a ‘séries of bestial murders such as it has never witnessed.. before the war, While the ‘ordinary crime of house breaking, pocket-pic embezzle- ment and that I Il flourishes, the pepulation is in a state of hor- rible excitement over a series of crimes, the natuure of which scarce- 1y bear repeating. One of these, the murder of little Dorothea Schmidt, by a maniac, is still uncleared by the police, though they believ they know the man. The little girl was lured into a cellar assaulted and then stabbed . She came running upstairs parents with blood flowing eral wounds and told them what happened; then died. In the meantime the maniac had escaped. Men who follow children and at- tack them are quite numerous. Still another case now on trial is that of murdered Carl Grossmann, who enticed women of the street to his dwelling, attacked them and then hacked their bodies to pieces, This particular kind of murder is known to the police as a “passion murder,” and there appears no way of putting an end to these trrible crimes. Meantime a band of obbers is do- ing a flourishing business breaking into villas, into unoccupied flats and even into homes where folks are living. The “muri police” here are among the most expert in the world and generally run down persons who commit murder. They are not so successful, however ,with the ordi- nary criminal, In this work he has the cooperjtion of a veritable army { street women, who sclect rich vietims turn them over to the hold up man and allow them to be clean- 2d out. The work of the police is really quite commendable, but their force since the war is not, large enough lo cope’ with the numerous cacs which.come to their attention, ALL DULUTH WELCOMES CHAMPIONSHIP SCULLER Duluth, July ZH—Wn]ter M.
