About this deal

Well, as I am cold and crave the warmth of my native Tartarus, and it is about time I leave your earthly home, I will cease my discourse. Hoping that thou wilt publish this, that it may go well with thee, I have been, am and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or realm of fantasy. That [was that] one night where... every jazz band in New Orleans was working and had a gig either at home or at a dance hall," says Hofbauer. "So he probably helped all these jazz musicians actually get paid, finally, that year." While we may never know, we do know what calmed his murderous urges. A letter, purporting to be from the Axeman, published in various newspapers, read that “every person shall be spared” where “a jazz band” is playing, causing residents to crowd jazz halls and play jazz records late into the night of March 19, 1919. No murders were recorded that evening. A large part of the book is an exploration of the culture of New Orleans – its music, its folklore, its French heritage, its unique racial mix – which of these elements did you find the most interesting and why?

My Favorite Murder, a true crime podcast, covered the story of the Axeman on their 60th episode entitled "Jazz It".

She thinks a man named John Joseph Dávila wrote the letter. He was a musician and jazz composer, and right after the letter was published, he came out with a composition called "The Mysterious Axeman's Jazz (Don't Scare Me Papa)." Unfortunately, Joseph Romano was a senior at the time and suffered severe head trauma that resulted in his death two days after the incident. Michael and Annette’s marriage, a marriage that was legal in some states but illegal in others, has parallels with the gay marriage debate in current society. Is it fair or valid to draw a parallel between the legalisation of inter-racial marriages and the legalisation of gay marriages?

All three detectives have a personal motivation for wanting to solve the case – redemption, self-worth, self-realisation. Contrast these different motivations – what do they say about where each character is in their life and career? Luca committed many reprehensible crimes in his time as a corrupt cop – do you still consider him a hero despite all the bad things he has done? Do you feel that he finally found the redemption he was looking for by the time of his death? The Axeman of New Orleans plagued the residents of New Orleans from May 1918 to October 1919. This serial killer’s weapon of choice was none other than an axe, though never the same exact one. And often, the Axeman of New Orleans would use whatever was available, like a hatchet, straight razor, or butcher’s knife. Two of the alleged "early" victims of the Axeman, an Italian couple named Schiambra, were shot by an intruder in their Lower Ninth Ward home in the early morning hours of May 16, 1912. The male Schiambra survived while his wife died. In newspaper accounts, the prime suspect is referred to by the name of "Momfre" more than once. While radically different than the Axeman's usual modus operandi, if Joseph Momfre was indeed the Axeman, the Schiambras may well have been early victims of the future serial killer. [4] That said, the Axeman was rather sloppy and inconsistent for a serial killer which is why some people believe there were actually multiple Axemen who were, to put it simply, just going along with the theme as best as they could.

In 1919, local tune writer Joseph John Davilla wrote the song, "The Mysterious Axman's Jazz (Don't Scare Me Papa)". Published by New Orleans based World's Music Publishing Company, the cover depicted a family playing music with frightened looks on their faces. [24] BuzzFeed Multiplayer (July 28, 2017), The Terrifying Axeman of New Orleans, archived from the original on December 12, 2021 , retrieved April 23, 2019 Crime writer Colin Wilson points to a man named Joseph Momfre, who was later killed in Los Angeles by victim Mike Pepitone’s widow. However, fellow crime writer Michael Newton searched New Orleans (and Los Angeles) records and found no trace of Momfre, nor Pepitone’s widow. But scholar Richard Warner stated in 2009 that the chief suspect at the time was a man named Frank Mumphrey, who used the alias Joseph Monfre/Manfre. Meanwhile, Catherine had sustained deep wounds so deep it was said that her head looked like it was about to fall off her shoulders. The American swing revival band Squirrel Nut Zippers released a song called "Axeman Jazz (Don't Scare Me Papa)" on their 2018 album, Beasts of Burgundy. [35]

The Times-Picayune, played up these murders to the salacious hilt, says Gibson. The stories were often speculative and fantastical, tapping into fears of the supernatural and the occult. Stuff You Missed In History Class did a two-part miniseries on the Axeman in which they toyed with the idea of his murderous acts having begun prior to 1918. [29]
