er to his list of victims. The body of a wom-
an. cut into pieces, was discovered in house
on Dorset street, Spitalfelds. The police are
endeav oring to track the murderer with the
aid of bloodhounds. The appearance of the
remains was frightful. and the mutilation
was even greater than in the previous cases.
The head had been severed and placed be-
meath one of the arms. The ears and nose
had been cut off. The body had been torn
from the thighs. The womb and other orgarns
were missing. The skin had been torn off the
forehead and cheeks. One hand had been
pushed into the stomach. The victim, like
all the Others, was a prostitute. She was
married and her husband was porter. They
had lived together at spasmodic inervals. Her
name is believed to have been Lizzie Fisher,
but to most of the habitues of the haunts she
visited she was known as Mary Jane. She
had q room in the house where she was
murdered. The murdered woman told a
companion the evening before that she was
without money and would commit suicide
if she did not obtain supply. 1t has been
learned that man, respectfully dressed, ac-
costed the victim and offered her money.
They went to her lodgings on the second
fnor of the Dorset street house. No noise
was heard during the night and nothing was
known ofthe murder until the landlady went
to the room early next m forming to ask for
her rent The first thing she saw on entering

The murder is undeniably continuation
of the series which was for awhile inter-
rupted for want of opportunity or incli-
nation. In this case the mnrder-

fact that the killing was done in Il room
