"DOBIE" MALONE
Horrible Developments in Connection With His Career

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3.-A special to the "Post-Dispatch" from Dallas, Texas, says: Horrible developments are coming out in connection with the fiendish career of "Dobie" Jo Malone, the negro executed here yesterday.

His written and oral confessions to officers and others make it certain that he, in addition to what has heretofore been published, participated in seven other murders and four assaults on white women. Two years ago he criminally assaulted and then killed Mrs. Durham, the wife of a prominent farmer near Oak Cliff, a suburb of Dallas, and he and another negro whom the officers are now endeavoring to capture assaulted and killed three white women at Eagle Lake, near Houston, about three years ago. The best detective talent has failed to solve the mysteries of these crimes.
