Cincinnati police were convinced that one man had committed all four murders. But all they knew was that he is probably a Negro (negroid hair was found on one victim), that he has O-type blood (determined through tests on the rapist's semen), and that he may drive a bronze and cream 1959 Chevrolet (which was spotted near the areas where Mrs. Hochhausler and Mrs. Messer were killed). Understandably, jittery Cincinnati was beginning to wonder if it is in for a reign of terror like the killing spree that had Boston women besieged for two years...
...visitors' dressing room at Holy Cross yesterday, his face racked with pain as a doctor set the broken bone in his left leg. The blond freshman punter had almost singlehandedly kept the Crimson alive in the first half, but now he was out for the season--the victim of a roughing-the-kicker tackle in the third quarter...

It opens with a gladiator whipping a half-clad "Roman slave," winds up with two four-horse chariots racing madly around the ring to see who can get to the victim first. The winner has the honor of tying the slave behind his chariot and dragging him across the arena and through the exit at full gallop. The violence of it all would certainly get a thumbs down from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to People, but on the other...
