written in chalk. P.C. Long reported the message as "The Juwes are the men That Will not be Blamed for nothing." Other police officers recalled the message slightly differently, as "The Juwes are not The men That Will be Blamed for nothing." Police

Eastern Post in February 1893, Arnold said that "...not more than four of these murders were committed by the same hand. They were the murders of
