fact was for long time denied by some Of
the old lawyers of the court but within
comparatively short time his heirs found the
original robe and brought Il to Washington

A HUMAN VAMPIRE
Responsible for the whitcchnpeI Horrors.
the Statement of Medical Man.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Dr. j. e. Kiernan,
Of this city, recognized medical -au-
thority and editor of the Medical Stand
ard, said to-day that the Whiteclapel
murderer is cAnnibal pure and simple.
The doctor added:
The Whiteehappl murders are clearly
the work OF lunatic OF type FORUM
ately rare in AnglO-Saxon lands, but
not infrequently met with in Russia,
Germany, Bohemia and France. In
these lunatics there is return TO the
animal passions Of the lowest, cannibal.
istic savage blood, and these animal
passions come to the surface when the
checks imposed by centuries OF Civiliza-
iiOn are removed either by disease or
by the defects inherited from de-
generate parents. The most noted
of these cases was that OF
Giles dc Retz, the original Bluebeard of
the reign OF Louis Nv, who slaughtered
200 female children in the same way as
the Whitechapel butcher. The muLila-
tions were very similar. a number Of
similar cases are on record in which the
murderer dcvoured the mutilated parts.
1t was only ii few years ago, in 1883, that
all Westphalia, in Germany, was reused
by several mysterious murders Of females
OF the same type us those OF White
chapel. The vainpirism of the middle
ages, extending down through the four
teenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth,
eighteenth and early nineteenth century
was phase OF this form OF insanity.
As to the remedy, shut up the harm
less logical lunatics and release fewer
so-called "sane" men by legal procedures
from the State insane hospitals, aud
crimes oi all types by the insane will
cease. No lunatic should be at large
unless some reliable person is pecuniar-
irresponsible for his acts. The phil
lnthropists" who release "sane" people
rom the insane hospitals always decline |
oecuniary responsibility. There are
unatics now at large in Chicago released
rs sane from insane. hospitals who,
Inder certain conditions, are fully capa- |
Die OF committing Whitechapel murders.
