The Axeman of New Orleans

Any of you ever read up on the Axeman of New Orleans? He was essentially the Jack the Ripper of NOLA, never caught and full of legend. Anybody have any info you’ve heard or more to the legend?

Killed two people in broad daylight outside Bud’s Broiler.

I’m sure his totals have been met and surpassed by a number of fine upstanding gentlemen over the years.

There’s record of the Axe Man. But newspapers were prone to sensationalism back then.
One prevailing theory is that it was really targeted murders by the local mafia.

Hell, March 13, 1919
Esteemed Mortal:
They have never caught me and they never will. They have never seen me, for I am invisible, even as the ether that surrounds your earth. I am not a human being, but a spirit and a demon from the hottest hell. I am what you Orleanians and your foolish police call the Axeman.
When I see fit, I shall come and claim other victims. I alone know whom they shall be. I shall leave no clue except my bloody axe, besmeared with blood and brains of he whom I have sent below to keep me company.
If you wish you may tell the police to be careful not to rile me. Of course, I am a reasonable spirit. I take no offense at the way they have conducted their investigations in the past. In fact, they have been so utterly stupid as to not only amuse me, but His Satanic Majesty, Francis Josef, etc. But tell them to beware. Let them not try to discover what I am, for it were better that they were never born than to incur the wrath of the Axeman. I don't think there is any need of such a warning, for I feel sure the police will always dodge me, as they have in the past. They are wise and know how to keep away from all harm.
Undoubtedly, you Orleanians think of me as a most horrible murderer, which I am, but I could be much worse if I wanted to. If I wished, I could pay a visit to your city every night. At will I could slay thousands of your best citizens, for I am in close relationship with the Angel of Death.
Now, to be exact, at 12:15 (earthly time) on next Tuesday night, I am going to pass over New Orleans. In my infinite mercy, I am going to make a little proposition to you people. Here it is: I am very fond of jazz music, and I swear by all the devils in the nether regions that every person shall be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing at the time I have just mentioned. If everyone has a jazz band going, well, then, so much the better for you people. One thing is certain and that is that some of your people who do not jazz it out on that specific Tuesday night (if there be any) will get the axe.
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’s metal as frick

Is that real?
Okay had to do a song about this
The Axeman-an original song
The Axeman
[chorus]
We'll I'm the Axeman
(He's the Axeman)
My Address, Six-Six-Six Hell drive,
If I find you in bed,
I'm caving in your head,
And very few I'll leave alive
'Cause I'm the Axeman,
(He's the Axeman)
Yeah I kill 'em with a jaunty jive,
And though I walk with doom,
If I hear jazzy tunes,
Then maybe you just might survive
[verse]
I'm stalking New Orleans,
I love to hear their screams,
They never hear me creeping in,
I'm bringing down my axe,
With brutal bloody whacks,
Yeah Murder is my favorite sin.
[chorus]
'Cause I'm the Axeman
(He's the Axeman)
So my name, don't be forgetting,
Yeah I'm the Axeman,
(He's the Axeman),
I'll leave you with a headache, splitting.
[verse]
My dear, are you afraid?
For I've sharpened up my blade,
If you're lucky then I'll make it quick,
I never find it dull,
When i'm caving in a skull,
And it thrills me when the blood flows thick,
[chorus]
For I'm the Axeman,
(He's the Axeman),
And I'll Axe for nothin but your life,
Yeah I'm the Axeman
(He's the Axeman),
Keep your money, but I'll take your wife
Ha ha ha,
[verse]
Those coppers clueless Oh,
I come and den day go,
So eat your fill and drink your wine,
And you can tell the news,
I'll take just who I choose,
They're gonna need a second Liiii-ine!
[chorus]
'Cause I'm the Axeman,
(He's the Axeman)
Next to me the Ripper's but a pup,
Yeah I'm the Axeman,
(He's the Axeman)
And I'm gonna carve New Orleans up
'Cause I'm the Axeman,
[bridge]
Well I hope you got my letter,
And believe it oh you better,
If you think it's just a hoax, then best beware,
For if not then you'll be screamin'
Might be you who meets the demon,
Unless that midnight jazz is blasting through the air,
Pray that you're spared,
[chorus]
Spared from the Axeman,
(From the Axeman)
You know they never caught me,
never will,
Mmmmhmmmm the Axeman,
(Where's the Axeman?)
Been a long time since I made a kill,
Now the city's filled with scum,
Violent thugs, and worthless bums,
And an axe, perhaps, is what it needs,
I'll leave my address down in Hell,
Tour the city for a spell,
Yeah it's High time that New Orleans bleeds

I thought it was from like the 1800s or otherwise very long ago?

Buzz feed Unsolved has a great video on this on YouTube. I had never heard the story up until a couple years ago and saw their video. They arrested a man for one of the supposed murders, but there was no conclusive evidence.
The most erie thing, is that the killer or killers used axes, and weapons at the homes of their victims.
