i suspect "murder man" is one of the definitions and it's somewhat trickier than just a man who committed a murder... if that was the case why would you write murder man instead of simply murderer
e.g. HITCHCOCK might be "Murder man" because he directed the film Murder
or maybe a term for a male raven because a group of ravens is a murder
Replace the "?" with the correct answer (all "?" unique). Explain why.

I'm futzing with 'ELI M IN A TE', but it either needs TE to mean mad dash, or ME to be EM* (em-dash) which would not be a ddef, or wordplay with MITE around NA, which again is wordplay
also Eli and M would mean man
so it would just have to be NA in MITE, which is wordplay
@juicifer ELIMINATE (Eli m (for metres) in a TE (tight end in US football, who might be seen in a mad dash)) If this is right, kudos to @AncientSwordRage
Hmmm, what could it mean?
(it's pretty easy)
