F R U IT Y D O U G H N U T S By Allene Sumner NEA Service Writer TOLEDO, O., Nov. 18.—This city, where women are struck down by a phantom clubber, his face dyed with crimson paint, faces a yet'graver danger. For Toledo has become the City of Dreadful Suspicion. Psychology is the answer. As interpreted tfy the chief of police, the coroner, the head of Toledo’s State Hospital and psychiatrists st Toledo University, psychology says that the identity of this maniac may, when learned, stag­ ger the entire city. A Leading Citizen? He may be a leader In the com­ munity. Ha may be a public speaker, a man who arises to say, "We have with us today— ” But he Is not a man who says, ' We have with us tonight." For It is at night that the Dr. Jekyll of the sunny daytime becomes the bludgeon - brandishing Mr. Hyde. '•It is very possible that some esteemed and loved husband and father, a respected citizen by day, is the man who has put the curse upon this town," says Dr. O. O. Fordyce, superintendent of the Toledo State Hospital and expert on insanity, on manias. He explains that a sadistic tendency, rising to a crest at in­ tervals, may send a man other­ wise normal out on these early twilight speers of violence. That la why suspicion Is cor­ roding the heart of Toledo wo­ manhood today; why the popular discussion of pathological tenden­ cies, usually confined to medlacal clinics and laboratories, has sent a fear through Toledo even great­ er than the fear of belflg struck to earth. Women Desert Streets The streets of this busy harbor city on the shore of Lake Erie are almost empty of women. Twice did the paint-splotched slayer stride Just a tew days ago. The body of a young and pop­ ular schdol teacher. Miss Lily Dale Croy, 26, was found cram­ med beneath a fire escape of a school house not four doors from her own home. The school teacher’s skull had been crushed to fragments. A bloody trail led across the autnmn leaves on .the school house lawn to the spot where the slim young body was found. Curiously, it was Just a year ego that the clubber of Women broke loose before. Them were weeks of horor. Then quiet came >^iss Lily Dale murdered, school again. Toledo breathed freely.at last. The taxi business fell back to normalcy as women dared walk the streets once more. Terror Descends Again Three women were clubbed to death at that time, and seven others were beaten Into uncon­ sciousness. But now has come the fiendish clubbing and murder of the girl teacher. , Her funetal had not been held before the police wagons dashed to a home not six blocks from the girl teacher's where another wo­ man had been murdered.

The escort is a Boy Scout— neat, but not powerful. One won­ ders what the clubber would do I went at dusk through the mile radius region where t h e clubber strikes. The leaf-drlp- plng elms and maples are thick here. Three girls going nome from work walked arm In arm in the center of the street, casting wary glances from side to side. Only children lent life to this dismal section. One tousleheaded boy ran up a step and scratched a Hallowe'en tick-tack on the .win­ dow. A woman laying the supper table screamed. Two men rushed out, caught the boy, and whaled him soundly. “I Kill All Women" The seven women who, clubbed by the nocturnal prowler, lived to tell the tale, say that he shrieked at them before he hit— "Oeront of my way. I kill all women. I hate you all." The horror that crouched over them babbled, they say. of a hat­ ed, faithless wife—of "getting ev- 3 Caps Flour 3 Ttaspooas B akiag Powder yi Ttaspooa Salt y i Ttaspooa N k A m j y !
