I wasn't going to respond to your parent as it was a blatant shitpost, but since there is a legitimate post here I got to say that I am actually curious what caused the quadrupled murder rate in just two years (1905-1907). There were no significant organized crime or changes in homicide reporting I could find, and the closest disturbance I could find seemed to be the Black Patch Tobacco Wars happening in Tennessee and Kentucky.
Wish we had more historians hanging around here
