Monmouth, Ill. (1912)
“William E. Dawson and his wife and 13-year-old daughter”
were murdered with an axe.
Category: Cult.?
Suicide: No.
Cause: There are similarities to the “church of the
sacrifice” mass murders in previous entries and description of the accused as “all
negroes” that suggests a possible common cause.
In addition police in two other nearby towns sought to interrogate the
suspects that suggest common elements. [1]
Weapon: axe.
