The London correspondent OF the philaa.l-

mitted. The same was in a court of Dorset
street Out OF the latter opens an arched pass

through il would bend his head and turn side.
WAYS TO keep his shoulders from rubbing
against the dirty bricks. At the end of the
passage there is high court not ten feet broad
and thirty long. thickly whitcwashed All
around for sanitary reasons 10 the height OF ten
feet That is Miller Court Misery Is written
all over the place, the worst kind of London
misery, such as those who have lived their
lives in America can have no idea Of
The first door at the end and on the right Of
the passage opens into a tiny damp room ON a
! level with the pavement The landlord Of this
and ncighboring rooms is John Mccarthy
who keeps a little shop IN Dorset street on the
side of the passage. About year ago be rented

borhood. shared her beer generously. as have
been toarfully informed. and went under the
title of Mary Jane Mccarthy. Her landlord
knew that she had another name. Kelly that
of her husband, but her friends had not heard
of il.
Mary Jane took up her residence in the little
room in Miller Court when Kelly left her
Since then her life has been that of all the
women about her. Last night she went out as
usual and was seen at various times up 10 IL 80
drinking at various low beer shops in Com
mercial street. At last Just before midnight
she went home with some man. who appears
To have dissuaded her from making a good
night visit, was her custom. at a drinking
place nearest her room. No description can be
obtained of this man.
Right opposite the passage leading 20 Mary
Jane . room there is a big lodging house where
the charge Is four pence for bed. Some men
congregated about the door Mt midnight are
sure they saw man and woman, the latter
being Mary Jane, stop 90 laugh at poster on
one side of the passage, which offers GlOO re-
ward for the Mhitechapel murderer The man
must have enjoyed the joke, for he himself
was the Nhitechapel murderer beyond all
doubt. The men who him can only say
that he did not look remarkable.
At 10 O'Clock this morning, Just as the Lord
Mayor was climbing into his golden carriage,
three Mortified policemen who had first looked
| in through Mary James window aud then drank
| big glasses of brandy TO steady themselves
were breaking in her door with pick axe.
The Whitechapel murderer has done his work
| with more thorOughness than ever before. The
miserable womans body was literally scattered
all over her room. Almost every conceivable
mutilation had been practiced ON the body.
FRIGHTFUL BUTCHERY.
| Inc DutcnefN was so 1flghtlul tnat more THAN
an hour was spent by the doctors in endeavor-
| ing 10 reconstruct the woman's body from the
pieces, so as to place it in a coffin and have il
photographed.
Tonight at midnight Dorset street and all
the neighborhood was swarming with a typical
degraded Whitechapel throng. Those with
any money we're getting drunk very fast. Many
sober women and all the drunken ones were
crying from terror, while the men lounged
| about singing or fighting and chatting the
women according TO their ideas Of humor. The
police were and are doing nothing of import
ance. The poor womans fragments, put to-
gether as skillfully possible, are lying in the
Houndsditch Mortuary in a scratched and dirty
shell of a coffin often used before. While the
body was being carried from the scene Of the
murder thousands crowded as near "a the po-
lice would allow, and gazed with lifted caps
and plying faces at the latest victim.
THE MURDERED woMAS's PAL
The most interesting individual in Miller
court was a women who had intimately known
the dead woman. Mary James pal, she called
herself. Her room is directly opposite the
murdered woman's. and its agitated proprietor
stood in the doorway urging young girl with
struggling wisps of red hair who had started
for beer not to be gone a minute. She assured
me that she would be gald 20 talk 10 me while
Kate was away, just 10 forget the horrors. This
woman spoke well of the dead. She had not
always been on peaceable terms with the muir
dered woman. but they were good friends,
though quarrelsome. Mary Jane was pretty
before she was cut up, Mary said, and she was
only twenty-four. not thirty, as she looked,
of place she lived in.
