Col. Hughes-IialIet Trying to Test q
Theory about the Murders.
New York World.l

New York World.l
SO intense is the feeling among all
classes in London in regard to the bloody
horrors committed with impunity in
Whitechapel that it is not surprising TO
hear of so prominent member of paria-
ment as Colonel J. q. Hughes. Hallett,
lately of Her Majesty's service, turning
detective and visiting in disguise the pur-
lieus of the East End of the worlds me.
tropolis, with the deliberate intention of
meeting and apprehending the murderous
monomapiac whose crimes have made the
civilized world stand aQhast.
A NEW THEORY OF THE THUGS IDENTITY.
"My theory is that the Whitecbape
murderer is an army doctor. or medical
student, or gentleman who has read
medicine and studied anatomy as fad or
imply rs part of a liberal education.
have no idea he is a practicinn physician
or a hospital student | believe him
gentleman and man OF leisure, or per-
haps retired army surgeon. He is man
of the world. His homicidal mania, it
seems to me. Is probably the result Of the
effect on the brain of a malady he acquir-
ed from some woman of the class he has
now taken. or perhaps only begun taking,
his vengeance on.
"The mental distress produced by such
malady is frequently, the authorities
say, inconceiyable. Ii might readily breed
such u butchers mania as this. The mutila-
tion of the bodies, the parts of them re-
moved by the avengers knife, point to
this idea the more strongly.
And just thereby would detect him,
never be caught. He very likely preserves
the parts he removes from his victims TO
gloat over them at his leisure.
HE may bury them, preserved in alco-
ho, but put under ground to avoid detec-
ton
''Or he may burn them in his chamber,
dancing around the sacrifice. But he has
them, in all prob ability, and by them he
should be caught. do not believe the
police will find him by searching White
chapel, or even the West End. They must
branch out and look where suspicion has
never heretofore pointed. They must find
these viscera, or, at oil events, trace them.
returned quietly to my club and for sew
eral nights there was no news from the
East End
~ do not look for repetition of his
crimes in other portions of London. The
same locality will | think recur to him
with every recurrence OF the mania, and
each time the frenzy comes on him he will
return to Whitechapel in search Of his
victims. The scene of his first crime will
probably be the scene OF his last
But IL is not in Whitechapel that ne
must be found. Ii Ia where he lives; at
his home, his club, his lodgings. When
the mania is on him he will be too cum
ming to be caught. Ii is when he returns
to his normal frame of mind and TO his
n >rmal life as man of the world that he
may betray himself, by telI tale blood on
his clothes. by the possession of his knife,
or razor. or cleaver, by those portions of
his victims bodies which he has carried
away--the treasures of his madness"
