Six Women Slay in New ‘ Orleans in 16 Months By FREDERICK HAMLIN. New Orleans, La., Sept. 7.—Six mur- ders of men, and one shooting, by New Orleans women and girls, wives or sweethearts, in the past 16 months— And: not a single conviction. ‘That's why ministers in the pulpits, clubwomen at meetings and students of sociology have aroused a storm of discussion. It has. resulted in de-|{ mands from many quarters that south- ‘ern chivalry be thrown aside and a conviction obtained in at least onc recent case to serve as a lesson. Only once in Louisiana criminal istory has a woman been convicted for killing a man. The lone victim of the law, Miss Dora Murff, was sen- tenced in 1913 to five years in the penitentiary for complicity in the mur- der of Milton Delahaye, her sweet- heart, at Crowley, La., because he re- fused to marry her. Her stepfather, Alec Duval; sen- ‘tenced to life imprisonment, recently was denied a pardon. The girl has been released and has started out to “get a chance” in life. She is a nurse in a charity hospital, and will be among the New Orleans nurses who will go abroad with the Louisianz troops. Here is the record of the sixteen months murder wave that gripped New Orleans women and girls: April 26, 1916—Ernest J. Smith, dar pilot, shot to death in Franklin-st. home by wife because he accused her of infidelity. She was acquitted. June 6.—Mrs. Augustine Miguez killed Anthony DiFranco, married, be. cause he threatened to break up her romance with a student. Acquttred and afterwards married to another.
