Bloody Details Of His Last Horrible Work
Of Death.

not made public until noon yesterday.
Me-. Paumier, who seems 10 be a relia.
BILE person, and who sails wslnuts in San
dy Row, near the scene Of the murder,
states that at II o'clock yesterday NOM
ing, a respectfully dressed man, cnryiT e a
black bsg, came up to her ard began talk
ing about ths murder. He appeared to
know everything shout it, hut did not buy
wslIu:s, and after standing 4 few min
utes went away. Mrs. Paumier described
him as q man about thirty years old, five
feet six inches in height. He wore spec
killed. trousers end a black coat.
Several girls in the reighborhood say
that tbs same man accosted them and they
chsffed him. When ask,d what he had in
his blEck bag, he said: Something that
ladies doa't like"
The accurate circumstances of the affair
are difficult to discover, the police, as
usual, placing every obstacle il the way OF
the inyeatigatiors CT the reporters, but II
undoubtedly surpaSsej in tiendlsh atrCcty
all ths terrible crimes WITH which the East
End Of London has been fsmiliarizei with
in the past six months.
Thu woman, twenty SIX years cd, and
named May Jane K:llv, had lived 20
four months in a fccnt room on the secord
floor of a houss up an alley kno yn as CIR
Inns court, in Dorset street. She was in
service a short time ago, bus since che
came 10 reside in the court, had been rec
ognizsd by the neighbors az q person who,
like 80 many unfortunate members OF her
sex in the East End, mansgei 10 exc cut Il
wIetched existence by the p~'aCtiCe Of i'm
morality under tie mos degrading con-
ditions. The court faces q small square
with a ra-IOw entrance, and is surrounded
by squad lodging houses with rooms let
out t. women of the unfortunate class.
Mrs. Kelly is described az a tall woman,
no. bad looking, with a dark coup,txIop,
and as generally wearing an old black vel
vet jacket. Sac was wearing thin jacket
yesterday morning when, about SIS, che
went down the Colrt, Jug in hand, and re-
turned shortly stterward with milk for the
breakfast. This was the last seen Of her
alive.
The woman was bebiad in Ter rent, and
had been told by her landlord that he
would put her cut if she did not pay him
to-day. She went to the streets Thursday
night to earn nOIey 10 psy her reLt, anc
it seems to he clearly established that size
returned to hsr IooI with a msn. No one
has been found who saw toe man % III,
but some neighhOrs heard him talking with
MIRA. Kelly in the !o}m AID heard lersirg'
ing, IS though dIuDk.
At IL o'clock y5hteIdly mcrni1g a man
named B)wyer, an agent OF the land!o-d,
went TO Mrs. Kelly's room to collect TIE
rent. When he knocked at the door h:
received no answer. Removing the curtain
drawn across the window of the room, and
locking through q broken pane, Bow yer
saw tbs woman lying in bed on re: back,
stark-naked, while marks Ofllood were al.
ever the pace. He tried the handle Of
the door aud folnd it locked, while The
key had been removed from the l)ck.
Without going into the Ioon Bowyer
called tbs police, WHO promptly preceded
to conceal all the facts in the case.
In less than two hours the doctors had
the body in tbs mOrg1e and were tXlmin-
Ing it precisely az they dill tie Mite
Square victim, They refused to give any
details concerning the examination, but
one Of the physicians TrjSsut admitted
that hs had passed much o. his lie In the
disss ion room, but hal never seen sucb
Il horrible spectacle AZ TIE murSc ed wo-
man. The man who waI Callsd TO iden-
tlly the body gives tie following desc'ip'
ton, which seems to be reliable: Her head
was nearly severed fr. III the shoulders and
the fec was laCerated almost beyond r5Cog-
milton. The hIea1ts were both cut OF and
laid on q table 0nd tire h art and liver
placed between the w0mal'S legs, aud sew
eral organs were m,sSipg. Th'ra seemed
II be at least forty c IL IN tie boiy, AMI
big pieces of flesh were literally stIip2td
of and strCTn On The l-O7. There were
no iniiraaOls in tbiI Gaze of a hand skilled
in the u9e Of the kniis. The b-dy vas ht-
orally hacked TO pieces, but there IL no
doubt at all that il is the work of the per-
SOD who has been known throughout the
world as the "WLiltchapel murderer"
Profiting by their previous hlu1ders, the
police called a photographer TO take a pic
tore Of the room beflre the body WAS re-
NOV ed. This gave rise TO the r'p)rt that
there was more handwriting on the wall,
Though three or four peop,e who were al
lowed to enter thu room ssy they did rot
ohselvs il. Bot possibly they were ttO
excited to rO!e such details.
1t is scarcely necessary II say much
about Mrs. Kelly. She wAs a mGr!itd w0-
man, who fell into dr~s3olute ways and was
deserted by her husband. She lad a boy
eleven ytaIs ,lj,''wto was tesgirg in the
stress while his mother was murdered.
The woman hes lst ly rem living with a
man who sells oranges GA the streets, AID
OIL whom, az he conli not ba found, sus
pic:on az once reverted, but he turned up
all right last night, and tainted when he
was shown the murdered wouau's body
The latest victim Of the "Whitechsp'l
