In Johnston (2014, p. 1) found that a man known as "the Axeman" began terrorizing the city of New Orleans in 1918 and 1919. The ax killed a case residents with an axe. The person responsible for the axemen's murders was never found (Johnston, 2014, p.1). In Swancer (2016) he found that there were two main suspects in the axemen's murders. The main suspects were: Joseph Mumfre (paragraph 22) and Andrew Maggio (Swancer, 2016, paragraph 4). Unfortunately, there was not enough evidence to fully charge any of them for the series of murders committed by the axe. Some people even think that the act of the killing spree was not an act of a human being, but of a supernatural being (Swancer, 2016, 14). The fact of so many murders seems too bizarre to have been committed by just one average person. Who was the ax man and what was the motive for the series of murders? In Celestin (2014, page 16) he found a note written by the axe. In Taylor Most of the axeman's victims were Italians and some were grocers (Gibson 2006, p. 15). Although the person responsible still remains a mystery, the person who seems to be the most likely culprit in the series of murders is mainly Joseph Mumfre who was probably paid to hunt down these people, or had his own twisted reasons for doing so. do it; with the exception of the Pepitone case for which both Esther Albano and Joseph Mumfre were most likely responsible. The reason is that Esther Albano must have had some sort of aspiration towards her husband to sleep in another bedroom, instead of sleeping with him. She obviously wouldn't be able to do it herself, so she hired a hitman, aka Joseph Mumfre. Esther Albano might have feared that Joseph Mumfre was cheating on her, or she might have regretted her decision and taken revenge on Joseph.
