It’s not just a good reason, it’s the best correct moral reason. And it’s not about you.It should never be about you. Look at the candidates, think about how your vote would affect not just you, but perhaps your family members. Perhaps friends and neighbors. Or people in your community. Or various groups of Americans: women, Muslims, LGBTs, black people, latino people, poor people, etc. Particularly if you’re on the fence about one candidate, how about making the best decision you can. If people who can make that decision, people who are even concerned about the “evil” in candidates rather than just out for greed or hate or “blowing this shit up”, if you can make the decision but won’t, you’re letting someone with lesser motives make it for you.The Two-Party SystemFirst, consider the fact of our often heralded and discounted "Two-Party System". You've seen it in action, undoubtedly. But have you looked for it in the Constitution? Nope. Can't find it, right? You've heard it acted out, I'm sure:Two-Party System? We ain't got no Two-Party System. We don't need no Tw0-Party System. I don't have to show you any stinkin' Two-Party System!"And in fact, that even sounds plausible. Because, in fact, the early Founding Fathers were against ANY political parties, as they knew these had a tendency to divide the country. Go read the Constitution, even if you do believe me (Article Two of the United States Constitution... and you'll eventually need this one, too, when we did actually made it easier for parties to exist, here: Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution).Fantastically, what the original Constitution called for was an indirect"First-past-the-post" vote for a President by each State. States voted for electors, representatives to carry the will of the States' people to the capital for actually electing the President. The electors are elected by simple plurality. They go to vote with the other electors, each elector had two votes and could not vote for two people from their own state. If at least one person wins a majority of all votes, that person is the President, and the runner-up is Vice President. Kind of works against parties.This started to crumble in Washington's third year, as Alexander Hamilton had already established his Federalist (or often, federalist) political society, and Thomas Jefferson formed the Democratic-Republican Party as a counter. In fact, part of what kept Washington in office that second term was a fruitless attempt to stop this.Ok, So We Got Frickin' Parties Already. They're Just Private Clubs -- Why Not 25?!? 125!?!Sounds nice. Sorry, though. It was not apparently well known that well in our early experiments with our Democratic Republic that any first-past-the-post voting system mathematically guarantees, in time, that you will have two politically relevant parties and perhaps a few weak ones. And hey... like magic, lookie what we got! We even enforce this by making the Presidential race even worse: it's not a timed race, it's a distance race -- you can only win with a majority of electoral votes, not a plurality. So in any election that doesn't cross that finish line, the contest goes back to Congress, and every state gets one vote -- the old tie-breaker from Article Two. Which these days means that, given that there are more red states with tiny populations -- yes, Alaska's vote counts exactly the same as California's here -- Republicans always win. This vote in Congress can only choose between the top five finishers... and of course, it can't happen when there are only two candidates. So two D's and a R... the R wins. Two R's a a D that lost by one electoral vote, the Establishment R almost certainly wins in this political climate.And actually, to get a very clear view of the math in action without needing to even get a pencil, go read Kevin Tessier 's post here, watch CGP Grey's video that makes this clear enough for American grade school students, much less Canadian CS majors. You Tea Party folks, do your best.... <evil grin>.So About That Answer, Dave... I Really Have Some Crops a'Needing TendingWell, as a fellow farmer, I can sympathize (Silviculturist... we're the cool guys in the back of the class wearing the dark glasses... which is weird, given that we're in shade all the time. I have a 25 acre garden with 50-100ft tall crops I weed with a chain saw, I get a full crop once every 25-30 years... if you can avoid having your head taken, it's a way to pass the centuries). Ok, sorry, TMI there I know.I would like to point you to a very excellent web site called The Political Compass. This is a study on political views along two different axes of opposition: the Libertarian/Authoritarian social scale and the Left/Right Economic scale. Some parties certainly conflate these, but trust me and, more, the good folks who've been studying these things for a decade or more (psst: it's actually more), and understand what this is. This is a scale, as described, based on stated and observed behaviors of candidates, elected officials, world leaders, etc. They are not watching you, so of course, you aren't on their chart. But you can be, by honestly answering the questions they provide (The Test).So ... drum roll please.... he's my test result. You ain't gonna like it:I've taken it a bunch of times and never vary much. I did tell you, I live in a big house deep in a small forest, right? I mentioned the sunglasses? How about all the guitars? The long hair? Clearly, I'm a freak. And while I fly that flag proudly, that's not even the beginning of my problems. But most you all do better.I know, all you Bernie guys are guessing I must be for Bernie. I am. But I'll also tell you something that folks on the Right and the Left might not really want to hear in the USA: this is a test based on world views. Like, the way people in the UK, in Europe, in Asia, maybe even people in those countries John Oliver tricks you about every Sunday night. So this does not make us look particularly good.Let's scope the recent political US boundaries. over the last few elections. I'll start with people who didn't alienate me from the get-go, and not cover every small, impossible-to-elect candidate, even though I like what some of them say:So if this was the race, Sanders does look good for me, but Nader even better, right. That was 2012 Nader.... I did actually vote for Nader in 2000. That one actually mattered, and introduced me to the concept of "Spoiler Vote". You all, because you have viewed that excellent CGP Grey video, already know what a spoiler vote is, and so you will never, ever, ever make that mistake. It didn't matter in Jersey, but it wasn't a wise vote. In fact, the Greens, then and now, are one state short of only ever being a spoiler, they only have electoral ballot access in 36 states plus DC.I did listen to Ron Paul, and liked quite a bit of what he had to say, even though I suspected he was kind of, well, bat-shit crazy. Not because of his politics. And also, because he's so far to the right. In the USA, that's what people call a "Libertarian", because that's the positioning of the Libertarian Party in the USA (#feelthejohnson). Gary Johnson is over in that quadrant this year, I suspect. The rest of the world would call these folks Anarcho-Capitalists, as I often do. That means they're against any form of market regulation, pretty much... and they don't take the proper Libertarian view that the Government is what protects personal freedom from the domination of privative collectives, whether that's Monsanto, Exxon-Mobile, or the street gang down the block.Randian Libertarian is another name, after Ayn Rand, the pill popping Russian atheist fiction writer most people grow out of by Junior year in college, but apparently, all Republicans must venerate. But only the economic stuff, none of this:Faith, as such, is extremely detrimental to human life: it is the negation of reasonor this:The alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short circuit destroying the mind.or this:To rest one's case on faith means to concede that reason is on the side of one's enemies- that one has no rational arguments to offer.or this:abortion is a moral right-which should be left to the sole discretion of the woman involvedSome of these good folks do love their cherry pickin', bless their hearts. But I digress....So I voted for Senator Obama in 2008, and I accurately at the time felt he was closer to my beliefs than Clinton, though I didn't have a huge problem with either. When you understand that that the first quadrant (the upper right for you Tea Party folks) is pretty damn near to the extent of all mainstream politics in America, this probably helps explain some things, including the perpetual frustration in current times of those of us on the actual world-scale when it comes to left and right.So sadly, let's postulate the Good Senator Sanders is no longer my choice, and let's see if we can figure this out. Here's the 2016 election map, with a few extra Republicans, since they had to wait so long. Again, not my measurements, this is what the Political Compass people do.I left my President in there too, because I had to make that choice. I don't regret it, because the only other possible winner that year was Mitt Romney, just a bit to the right of Obama in deed, maybe up there in the corner based on his "tilt to the right" in rhetoric. So I'm a gazillion miles away from Senator Clinton or any of these guys. But my choice will not be anyone: either Clinton (in this scenario) or Trump, Cruz, or some Contested Convention Frankenstein are going to be President. There is no other possible outcome. So why would I do anything to encourage worse over better. Sometimes it seems like this:What If I Told You... It's Way More Complex Than Even ThatSo on this very appropriate scale that the Political Compass people have been working on, I have seen my choices, and they're pretty much what their analysis tells me I ought to be doing. But that's still just a 2-dimensional scale. For example, I could come up with a Protectionist-Interventionist scale, and now we have a 3D model. And dozens of others. While I may be weighted correctly on their scale, it doesn't necessarily have any way of reflecting other issues, some of which may be to me, or others, more important than these two scales addressed. For example, character and readiness for the job: I certainly did not want Senator McCain or Governor Romney to be President. I didn't actually have any question in my mind that either of them would be capable -- they both had lifetimes of experience. They ordinarily seemed to be full functional grownups, and intitally, anyway, both men who might have made good enough Presidents, even that far from my politics.But they caused me to doubt. Senator McCain, in particular, in choosing his running mate, was telling us that he honestly believed that Sarah Palin was capable of running the country, should something happen to him. That was the singular kind of mistake that, all else being equal, would have me shouting "next" while screeching in a barely controlled bootlegger turn and distancing myself from the guy as far as possible, had be been my guy.Ted Cruz won my disdain with his being a raging Theocrat... no way, buddy, take that to the Middle East. But if that wasn't enough, all the people around him talking about their various divine moments with God selecting this douchenozzle, likely the most hated man in Washington, certainly the most hated man in the Senate, to be leader of our separation-of-church-and-state Free World. No thanks... your future is replacing the nearly-as-creepy Pat Robinson, also a former Presidential Candidate, as host of the "700 Club".Even if Donald Trump did match my politics, I'd be very wary of the guy. Mainly, because he's kind of figured out how to hack the system, and in his often brilliant way of hacking, facts and prior statements don't seem to matter to his voters. Not good... I insist on living in the reality-based community.... chanting a thing over and over again might work in Shakespeare or "Charmed", but not in this world. He knows that, certainly, but there's no evidence a large part of the population is actually paying attention. Plus, he's been racist and misogynist... I have no desire to return to the 19th Century, thank-you-very-much sir.And there are SO many other reasons. You have them, too. But it is ultimately a binary choice... this or that, D or R. And the actual set of vectored interests on the full 3D model of that "ME" dot might look more like this:Others might be very simple. We have had Single Issue Voters, people who make voting decisions based on just one thing. I can imagine a few issues being biggies in the "against" column, but not too many single issues strong enough to get a check in the "for" column ("We choose to go to colonize Mars, build a starship, and travel the galaxy in this century, and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.") Though I suspect that guy might be a little southwest of Tralfamadore already....Bonus RoundIn the simple case, your political interests are more likely to be looked after by sometime closer to your interests, particularly your weighted interests. Only you can make that determination, and I know, sometimes, thinking about this crap isn't what you want after a long day at the office -- easier to read Facebook and talk in MEMEs, eh. Well, of course not you... you made it all the way here... I'll bet you another one or two make it! That's why this is the bound round.The prize is the longterm evolution of a cause. If you're a Republican today, you've been basking in that, believe it or not, for a few decades. You have seen every Republican President in my lifetime move further to the right, and not always by just a little bit. And coup of coups, you dragged the frickin' Democrats along with you. No... stop laughing, and listen a little.Zombie Nixon without the Ghost of Watergate wouldn't stand a chance of being a Republican President today. He had half of the 18-25 vote in 1972... he was M.Fing Bernie back when I was a little kiddie! And this was the anti-war vote, vs. war hero George McGovern. Nixon went on "Laugh-in", not just Carson. Nixon championed nuclear disarmament with the SALT treaties. Nixon founded the EPA -- that same thing Ted Cruz vows to neuter or maybe, just for fun, strangle. Nixon was the guy who said "We're all Keynesians". He told us all the Government does create jobs. He helped pass the Clean Air Act. Nixon of 1972 was to the left of 2004 John Kerry on gun control.If you want, go back further, look at FDR, Truman, and Eisenhower... they INTENTIONALLY created the Democratic Socialist society that so many on the right look back all misty on. That was free education for much of the working people of the day, thanks to the GI bill -- put my Dad in Bell Labs, by Uncle in private medical practice, rather than perhaps "Haynie Brothers Crops Dusting" after the Air Force. It launched the space program and the information age... all those disciplined guys inventing what a nerd was and changing the world.And why? Well, sure, that "right thing to do" and all. But this was the genius in this: the fear of Communism. To us, today, Communism as made famous by the USSR and East Germany is no worker's paradise. But compared to the sweat shops of the 1800s and early 1900s? It absolutely was a Worker's Paradise. So we set out to ge better. Sure, this has started with guys like Henry Ford, but it came into full bloom post-war. And that thing, that WE had the worker's paradise, not the Soviets, was the one battle they could never win.So, back to my point: trends matter. And when we have more Democratic control, the Republicans are shifted leftward in order to win close elections. And more adventurous Democrats may have a shot at it. Bernie didn't win this tear, but it was an actual contest. But look at the last few guys anywhere in his political orbit who ran for President. There would never have been the Bernie we've seen in a post-Romney world. Maybe he would have run, maybe not, but the Democrats would be looking for any light at the end of that tunnel. If Hillary, as pretty much promised even from her lips, is here to maintain the Obama legacy (and, actually possible, push things a bit to the left and down), that makes 2020 or, if she's really successful, 2024 another shot at Bernie's successor. In an even more progressive political climate, because that's the way things had to move, versus Cruz or Trump.So basically, allowing the one you think is the worse of two evils to win will probably, in practical terms, set you cause back more than the four years of that President's term.And One Final Note (Eb I think It Was)Please check out The Political Compass. Particularly, follow their analysis of the 2008 and 2012 elections as well as the current one. In the USA, of course. They have others there, too, the UK of course, where they're based. I have no connection to these guys other than noting their existence, using that to show political distance, and of course, urging you to read more.And that's the cool thing about knowledge... it only makes your vote better.

How the 'Servant Girl Annihilator' Terrorized 1880s AustinBefore Jack the Ripper stalked the streets of London, another midnight murderer was prowling halfway across the world. H. H. Holmes, a monster best known for his “murder castle” and who had somewhere between nine and 30 victims, has often been cited as “America’s first serial killer,” but that is a misnomer.[1][1][1][1] An unidentified slayer stalked the streets of Austin, Texas at least a year before Holmes is known to have started his murder spree.In Austin, Texas, an individual who became known as the “Servant Girl Annihilator” was responsible for the deaths of eight people between late 1884 and Christmas Eve 1885. Attacking victims in their beds and then dragging them outside barefoot to mutilate their bodies, the killer eluded police, private investigators, and mobs of civilians who took to the unpaved streets of newly settled Austin in anger and panic.[2][2][2][2] He—eyewitnesses claimed it was a man—has been called America’s first serial killer, and his crimes remain unsolved to this day.Just two decades prior to the murders, Austin was a “rustic cowtown with a population below 5000. By 1885, the time of the murders, the city had reached the “verge of modernity,” boasting 14,500 residents, numerous restaurants and hotels, and an under-construction capitol building.[3][3][3][3] Austin had all the makings of an urban paradise. Instead, it became an urban nightmare.THE MURDERSThe first victim was Mollie Smith, a 25-year-old cook working for the Walter Hall residence on Sixth Street (then named Pecan Street). Working for the family for a little more than a month, she was dating 30-year-old Walter Spencer, who lived with her in a small apartment in the back of the house.[4][4][4][4]Mollie Smith (THE SERVANT GIRL ANNIHILATOR: UNSOLVED AMERICAN MYSTERY)She was killed on December 30, 1884, with a gaping ax wound in her head. Smith had also been stabbed in the chest, abdomen, legs, and arms, creating such a large pool of blood she appeared to almost be floating in it.[5][5][5][5] She had been attacked in her bedroom, then dragged outside. In her bedroom, police found broken glass, disarranged furniture, bloody finger marks and a blood-stained ax, presumably the murder weapon.[6][6][6][6] Her body was found outside and placed in the snow next to the family outhouse.Soon, police arrested William Brooks on suspicion of murder. Brooks, who worked as a bartender in the Barrel House Saloon on East Pecan Street, was Mollie's former lover.[7][7][7][7] The two briefly dated in Waco before moving to Austin, and police thought he was jealous of her relationship with Spencer. Brooks claimed he was at a ball at the time of the murder, and he was never prosecuted for the crime.[8][8][8][8]The attacks continued. Throughout the spring of 1885, police received countless reports of violent home invasions involving black servant girls and one German servant girl who was hit on the head with a stone when she refused to give money to the man who broke into her quarters.[9][9][9][9] On March 19th, two Swedish servants, Clara Strand and Christine Martenson, were attacked at the home of Col. J.H. Pope on Guadalupe Street and College Avenue.[10][10][10][10] The girls claimed someone knocked on the door of their room, then fired a shot through the window, grazing one girl's neck and hitting the other girl in the shoulder.[11][11][11][11]The second victim was Eliza Shelly, a young African-American woman who worked as a cook for the family of Dr. Lucian Johnson, who lived in a cottage on the corner of San Jacinto and Cypress streets. [12][12][12][12] Killed a few months after Mollie Smith on May 7, 1885, the 30-year-old Eliza and her three young children lived in a small cabin behind the house, separated by a fence and a gate.Dr. Johnson had just returned home from the market on the morning of May 7, 1885, when he confronted his shaken wife."I believe Eliza has been murdered," Mrs. Johnson told her husband.[13][13][13][13] The woman said when she heard screams coming from Eliza's cabin that morning, she sent her young niece outside, who returned with grave results. Eliza was dead on the floor. She had a gaping wound over her right eye, a deep round hole stabbed just above her ear and another right between her eyes.[14][14][14][14] Her pillows and sheets were covered in blood, and the room was in disarray. The murderer had dragged Eliza off the bed and wrapped her in her bedspread.[15][15][15][15] Police reportedly saw imprints of bare feet in the sand outside her house under her bedroom window.[16][16][16][16] The Annihilator’s choice of victim, and his modus operandi, were becoming apparent.No weapon was found. The only clue police had was a barefoot track in the dirt, and the word of Eliza's dazed 8-year-old son. He didn't remember exactly what happened, and he couldn't remember what the attacker looked like, just that he wore a white rag over his face. A man came in the room and asked me where my mother kept her money," he said. "I told him I didn't know. He told me to cover up my head. If I didn't, he would kill me."[17][17][17][17]Later that day, police arrested 19-year-old Andrew Williams simply because he was walking barefoot nearby.[18][18][18][18] Within a week, police arrested another man: 30-year-old Ike Plummer. Plummer's neighbor told police he had seen the man and Eliza arguing about six weeks before the murder, when they were living on Red River Street before she went to work for Dr. Johnson.[19][19][19][19]The neighbor told police he had heard Plummer ask Eliza for money the day before the murder, and the woman told him all the money she had was for her children.[20][20][20][20] "I'll see you again, if I live..."Plummer told her.[21][21][21][21] The neighbor said he saw either a hammer or a hatchet in Plummer's pocket. The night of the murder, Plummer's neighbor said the man awoke him around 1 a.m. when he was coming home. Williams and Plummer were never prosecuted for the murder.Austin TX in 1884 (America’s Jack the Ripper: The Austin Serial Killer)Irene Cross, an African-American servant and the third black woman targeted by the Annihilator, was attacked on May 23 outside her home on East Linden Street, just across from Scholz Garten.[22][22][22][22] A six-inch gash gaped across her right arm, leaving the limb nearly sliced in half. A slash across her head began just above her right eye, as if to scalp her.[23][23][23][23] She was standing outside of Witman's house, screaming for help.Before she died from her injuries, Irene's son told police that the intruder was a "big, chunky negro man, barefooted and with his pants rolled up," wearing a brown hat and a ragged coat and carrying a pocketknife.[24][24][24][24]A woman named Clara Dick might have been his presumed target, but she managed survive, though she was badly injured during the nighttime assault of her mysterious attacker who, in nearly every instance, had been focused on the “annihilation” of servant girls while sleeping in their beds.[25][25][25][25]Around the time of the third murder, short story author O. Henry gave the killer his moniker. “Town is fearfully dull,” Henry wrote in a May 1885 letter to his friend Dave Hall, “except for the frequent raids of the Servant Girl Annihilators, who make things lively during the dead hours of the night.”[26][26][26][26]The spine-tingling nickname was perhaps a bit of a stretch, however: Only the first few to die were servant girls. Men, boyfriends/common law husbands living with some of the female victims, were also attacked. The last two women killed were not servants, but “respectable” married women.Mary Ramey (The Servant Girl Murders Austin, Texas 1885)Rebecca Ramey and her 11-year-old daughter Mary slept soundly on a peaceful Sunday morning, until out of nowhere, Rebecca was hit with a sandbag.[27][27][27][27] Her skull was fractured, and she had a wound on the left side of her head from a sharp object. Her daughter was dragged into a nearby wash house and raped. Her attacker drove an iron pin into both ears, penetrating her brain.[28][28][28][28] She lived for a short time after police arrived, bleeding to death in Weed's backyard.Police dogs followed the scent to a nearby stable, where Tom Allen was arrested.[29][29][29][29] However, a doctor later discredited Allen's involvement in the crime. Alex Mack was also rumored to be a suspect, but police did not arrest him for the crime.[30][30][30][30]The following two victims were a pair, sweethearts Gracie Vance and Orange Washington, and their friends, Lucinda Boddy and Patsey Gibson.[31][31][31][31] William B. Dunham said a noise awakened him in the middle of the night, sounding like Orange was whipping Gracie, which, he said, unfortunately happened often.[32][32][32][32] He said the noises sounded like someone was being slapped across the face. He woke up to check on the couple, but could not hear any other noises, so he returned to sleep.Then around 1 a.m. he heard a noise that startled him awake again. It sounded like someone had jumped through the window of his servant's cabin, followed by a woman's scream. Dunham grabbed his gun and ran to the door, where he saw Lucinda fighting with a man outside the front gate.[33][33][33][33] The man hit her, and Lucinda ran to Dunham and grabbed him, disabling him from shooting at the attacker.Dunham's neighbor called the police, and some neighbors attempted to shoot at the attacker as he ran away. The attacker left a horse, saddled and bridled, hitched to a tree near Dunham's house.[34][34][34][34]Gracie, 20, was found about 75 yards away from the cabin. The attacker had hit her, dragged her out the cabin window and over a fence and raped her before beating her to death with a rock.[35][35][35][35] She had various gashes across her face and head.Orange, 25, was found dead on the floor of the cabin, between the bed and the open window, his head nearly sliced in two.[36][36][36][36] The gash on his head had cut all the way down to the skull. He was still breathing when they found him, but did not survive long.Dunham said he found an ax under the blankets in the bedroom, near where he found Patsy sitting, injured.[37][37][37][37] Dunham said the ax was not his, that no one on his property owned an ax, and it was smeared with blood.Lucinda and Patsy had also been hit in the head. The girls had been sleeping on the cabin floor when they were attacked. The attacker sandbagged Lucinda and jumped through the window, causing the sound which had awakened Dunham.[38][38][38][38] She told police she recognized the man as Doc Woods, a friend of Gracie's and possibly a friend of Orange's. Dunham later testified that he had seen Woods at the cabin before.[39][39][39][39]Police arrested a man named Oliver Townsend along with Woods, who was wearing a bloody shirt at the time of his arrest (investigators later determined the blood was unrelated to the crime).[40][40][40][40] Police also arrested Netherly Overton, the rightful owner of the horse found at the scene of the murder.[41][41][41][41] Overton claimed that his stepson had taken the horse and hitched it to a rack while he went to the store, but it was stolen.Austin Texas 1885 (THE SERVANT GIRL ANNIHILATOR: UNSOLVED AMERICAN MYSTERY)In an Oct. 7 speech, City Marshal Grooms Lee said the murders were still "shrouded in mystery" and proposed an increase to the police force, which previously consisted of a marshal, a sergeant and 12 policeman.[42][42][42][42] The city council passed an ordinance to allow the city to offer an award for the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for the murders. It also authorized the mayor to hire detectives to help get to the bottom of the crime.The Annihilator was escalating. On Christmas Eve 1885, he committed two separate crimes in entirely different locations—and unlike all of the previous victims, they were white: Susan Hancock, “described by one reporter as ‘one of the most refined ladies in Austin,’and 17-year-old Eula Phillips, both murdered in their homes.[43][43][43][43]Respected white mother, Susan Hancock, was murdered in a manner that combined the methods used in previous attacks. Just before Midnight on Christmas Eve, she was found behind her house, dead from a head wound from an axe that split her skull in half.[44][44][44][44]A thin piece of metal was also found in her head. She was raped. She had been attacked in the house and dragged from her bed as her husband Moses dozed in a chair in another room.[45][45][45][45]Susan’s head was cleaved in two just before midnight on Christmas Eve, and her wounds showed that something sharp and thin had been stuck through her right ear into her brain.[46][46][46][46]Eula Phillips and Susan Hancock (Capital Murder)Eula’s life ended around an hour after Susan was discovered in the early morning of Christmas Day. Once again, her head had been crushed by an ax.[47][47][47][47] A writer for the Fort Worth Gazettereported that she lay on her back, her face “turned upward in the dim moonlight with an expression of agony that death itself had not erased from the features.”[48][48][48][48] She had been raped, and her arms were pinned down by timber. The barefoot killer had walked through the victim’s blood and left bloody footprints all over the floorboards[49][49][49][49] , which were later removed by police.During the course of the investigation, an interesting detail emerged about the Phillips’ marriage that must have really made Austin society gasp and reach for the smelling salts: In the months before her death, Eula had taken to regularly visiting Austin's most high-class house of assignation.[50][50][50][50] The home, operated by a May Tobin, was a meeting place for expensive prostitutes and their clients, as well as adulterous lovers.[51][51][51][51] The last time Eula visited Tobin's was on the very night she had been killed.[52][52][52][52] It is not clear whether Eula visited the house because she was carrying on illicit love affairs, or if she had turned to prostitution to make some money independent of her husband's allowance.Absent in every other killing, the wood pieces brought up a terrifying possibility. True, the lumber could be attributed to an opportunist Annihilator operating in a booming city filled with construction sites.[53][53][53][53] The crime scenes were so bloody that the population began to ask themselves if multiple individuals or gangs were responsible for the crimes. Bloody axes and sharp objects were often left behind at the crime scenes, along with bare footprints missing one toe.[54][54][54][54]People began to wonder… What if another killer was at work? Did Austin perhaps have multiple serial killers on the loose? Until that point, no one had considered there could even be one.Austin’s oldest Moonlight Towers (Moonlight Towers (Austin, Texas) - WikipediaThe day after Hancock and Phillips were killed, over five hundred of Austin's leading citizens gathered together to find some way to fight back against their invisible tormentor.[55][55][55][55] Many plans were suggested, from using large lamps to light the city at night (Moonlight towers), to putting all Austin under lockdown, but no one could really agree on what to do.[56][56][56][56] It was many years before the phrase "serial killer" would even be invented. Such an unprecedented, almost supernatural series of motiveless killings was beyond their comprehension.As it happened, any action would be irrelevant. After the killings of the two high society women, the butcher of Austin vanished.[57][57][57][57] It seemed as if having made his point that no one in the city was safe from him, he felt his work was done. However, the climate of fear and anger that was his legacy took years to fully dissipate.At that time the phrase ‘serial killer’ had not even been coined. No one had thought of studying crime scenes to help create a psychological profile of a killer. Fingerprinting and blood-typing hadn’t been invented yet. Police relied on dogs to track suspects, and a team of bloodhounds ran the lengths of Austin’s unpaved streets nightly, sniffing and howling.[58][58][58][58] The Annihilator boldly crisscrossed his city, hunting down women regardless of race or class, striking quickly on moonlit nights and then vanishing just as quickly.[59][59][59][59] Private investigators were brought in by police, who hoped they’d be able to catch something their officers couldn’t, but their presence only whipped Austin into more of a panic.[60][60][60][60]And then the murders stopped.Altogether, the Annihilator’s body count totaled eight: six women, an 11-year-old girl, and a man. Investigators continued to do their utmost to find the murderer, but the Austin police force of the day was clearly out of their league in dealing with a murder spree of this magnitude. Unfortunately, they were fixated on the theory that a black man must have committed the killings, which led to a long persecution of the city's African-American males.[61][61][61][61] Virtually every black man in Austin was treated like a suspect. Race relations in Austin, which had, before the murders, been relatively progressive, quickly deteriorated, as many whites convinced themselves the bloodbath was proof that blacks were hopelessly uncivilized.[62][62][62][62]r/UnresolvedMysteries - Jack the Ripper may have been the Servant Girl Annihilator... a Malay Cook named MauriceThough around 400 men were arrested in 1885 under suspicion of being the Annihilator, none were ever successfully tried.[63][63][63][63] The list included Walter Spencer (the boyfriend of the first victim—acquitted after a two-day trial),[64][64][64][64] “two suspicious-looking white brothers found with blood on their clothes,”[65][65][65][65] Eula’s husband Jimmy Phillips, and Susan’s husband Moses Hancock.The police made two more arrests. This time, the dirty laundry of two prominent white citizens would be aired in public. As James Phillips slowly recuperated from his wounds, salacious rumors spread that he had killed his wife after discovering that she was working as a prostitute.[66][66][66][66] He was arrested on January 1, in spite of the fact that he would have had to have hacked his own face and head with an ax to pull off the ruse that another attacker had been involved. As prosecutors labelled him a copy cat killer, Phillips was tried and convicted to seven years, but the conviction was overturned on appeal due to lack of evidence.[67][67][67][67]The second arrest was that of Moses Hancock. The closest thing to hard evidence against Hancock was a letter Susan had written him months before her death.[68][68][68][68] It said that she loved him, but could no longer tolerate his drinking. The DA argued--with absolutely nothing to back it up--that on Christmas Eve, Moses got drunk, and in a rage butchered his wife to prevent her from leaving him. Hancock was tried and a hung jury eventually freed him.[69][69][69][69]THE SUSPECTSAccording to a July 2000 article in the Texas Monthly, there was an eyewitness who claimed to have seen the murderer but reported contradictory information to the police.[70][70][70][70] The killer was variously reported to have been white or dark-complexioned; or a "yellow man" wearing lampblack to conceal his skin color; or a man wearing a Mother Hubbard style dress; or a man wearing a slouch hat; or a man wearing a hat and a white rag that covered the lower part of his face.[71][71][71][71]In an interview with the PBS documentary series History Detectives, Mark E. Safarik profiled the Annihilator as a young, muscular African-American male, likely in his early twenties, who acted alone and felt powerless in his daily life. He would not target Caucasian females in his early crimes because he considered them too risky, but after a string of successful murders, he was emboldened to do so. He would not stop killing on his own free will; therefore, he must have been prevented from continuing the crimes by an unrelated external reason, such as being incarcerated for another crime.[72][72][72][72]A geographic profile by Kim Rossmo concluded that the criminal most likely worked in Congress Avenue, the nonsegregated commercial heart of the city at the time.[73][73][73][73] Because the train station was there, it is possible that the killer did not reside in Austin.Several theories exist about the real identity of the murderer, and the abrupt end to his killing spree.Crime lore has it that a Malay cook named Maurice, who had a history of working on cargo ships, had been employed at the Pearl House in Austin in 1885 and mysteriously disappeared from the premises in 1886.[74][74][74][74] Maurice told acquaintances that he planned to travel by ship to London and left town in January 1886—several weeks after the Servant Girl murders ended. “A strong presumption that the Malay was the murderer of the Austin women was created by the fact that all of them except two or three resided in the immediate neighborhood of the Pearl House,” the Austin-American Statesman reported in November 1888.[75][75][75][75] Ripperologists claim that after the Austin and London murders, similar murders were documented in Nicaragua, Tunis and Jamaica -- all places that cargo ships would routinely visit.[76][76][76][76]Is it possible that Maurice, responsible for the eight deaths in Austin, had traveled across the world to avoid captivity and continue his depraved midnight escapades?[77][77][77][77] The newspaper thought there was a chance, but there's a lack of solid evidence, and a hundred years later, it’s unlikely we’ll ever learn the truth.James and Florence Maybrick. Some have suspected James of being both the Servant Girl Annihilator and Jack the Ripper (Wikimedia Commons)Author Shirley Harrison believes that the Annihilator and the Ripper are one and the same, though she names Liverpool cotton merchant James Maybrick instead of Malaysian chef Maurice.[78][78][78][78] It’s an interesting hypothesis, described by Harrison in her book Jack the Ripper: The American Connection. According to Maybrick’s own purported journals, which included confessions of killing prostitutes as well as a page signed “Jack the Ripper,” Maybrick was in Austin on the dates the Annihilator murders occurred.[79][79][79][79] Another detail that could point to an English Annihilator? Maybrick died, likely of arsenic and strychnine poisoning possibly administered by his wife, in May 1889—after both series of murders ended (or perhaps why they ended).[80][80][80][80]"His serial killings don't mimic any other killings in the world. There is one common belief that our serial killer went on to become "Jack the Ripper" but it doesn't add up...although, it was three years later and someone could have easily went from Austin to London in that time. "Jack the Ripper," he disemboweled his victims. Our serial killer, used the brain to kill. Serial killers do not change their methods," says Maverick.[81][81][81][81]Nathan Elgin (The Servant Girl Murders Austin, Texas 1885)Yet another theory, laid out in a 2014 episode of History Detectives, accuses a young black man working in downtown Austin. Nathan Elgin, a cook and only 19 years old at the time of the Annihilator killings, was shot by police when he dragged a girl out of the saloon where he was drinking in February 1886.[82][82][82][82] He died from his wounds, right around the time the murders—coincidentally or not—stopped. Elgin worked in close proximity to the crime scenes and was missing his little toe which was similar to a footprint believed to have been left by the killer.[83][83][83][83]Sheriff Malcolm Hornsby testified during the trial of Hancock that he made plaster casts of Elgin’s feet before he was buried and compared them to the prints found at the Phillips crime scene. He testified that the casts matched the footprints found on the floorboards.[84][84][84][84]It’s hardly a closed case, especially as strangers continued to flood the city, looking for jobs at Austin’s many construction sites. Concerning the assumption that the murderer was connected to the construction industry, it’s possible that the Annihilator moved on after the capitol building was finished in 1888, taking his bloodthirsty impulses with him. Devotees of the case like to tie the Servant Girl murders to subsequent crimes along the Eastern Seaboard and then in Galveston, or to the reportedly similar murders of women in port cities the world over.[85][85][85][85] It’s a way of connecting the dots among horrific crimes, but it raises a difficult question: What's scarier? That a man escaped over and over, continuing to maim and kill in multiple cities? Or that the modern era has given birth to countless such monsters, each unique capable of depraved crimes?Footnotes[1] The Master of the Murder Castle | Harper's Magazine[1] The Master of the Murder Castle | Harper's Magazine[1] The Master of the Murder Castle | Harper's Magazine[1] The Master of the Murder Castle | Harper's Magazine[2] Servant Girl Annihilator -
