[edit] O. Henry's "Important" Contribution To The Case?

From the sentence (O. Henry) did however make one important contribution to the story: he coined the term "Servant Girl Annihilator" for his friends working at the Austin Daily Statesman I have removed the word "important" because it does not really describe the significance of his "contribution", which might be better characterized by the word "trivial".

[edit] First Recorded (US) Serial Killer

"... who terrorized Austin, Texas between 1884 and 1885 [...] The crimes represented the first recorded serial killer in the US"

Doesn't the "Bloody Benders" entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Benders) contradict this statement?

"The Bloody Benders were a family of serial killers who owned a small general store and inn in Labette County, Kansas from 1872 to 1873"
