Detroit’s Growing Crime

The Detroit Tribune speaking of a recent terrible murder in that city, says: ‘Detroit is fast becoming notorious for homicides, robberies and other crimes of more or less magnitude, and if she keeps on, will soon rank with other cities of larger population, where heinous crimes are of common occurrence. Our citizens have been taught to regard a murder perpetrated in their midst, with a sort of thrilling horror, and we are happy to say that but few such occurrences have taken place. We have recently had one on Mullet street, one on Woodbridge street, one on Waterloo street, and one that happened about two weeks ago, and now we have another, which for brutality—if we may be allowed to use the phrase—exceeds all the others.’
