THE BUTCHERY BEGUN AGAIN.
LONDON, Nov. 9-Another horrible MUIR
der has taken place in the East End. A
woman's body, hacked and cut into
pieces, was found this morning in Dors ct
street. The body was found at eleven
O'Clock this morning. The police are en-
deavoring to track the murderer with
blood hounds. The body was mutilated
in a manner similar to the bodies Of the
women previously murdered.
The victim of the Spitalfelds murder
was, like the rest of the Whiteohapel
victims, an abandoned woman. she had
husband who was a porter, but she
lived with him only at times. Her name
is believed to be Lizzie Fisher, and she
was nicknamed ''Mary Jane.D As she
entered the house where she lodged, by
means Of a latch-key probably no one
saw the man who accompanied her.
Hence it is doubtful if the murderer is
ever identified. The man might easily
have left the house at any time between
the hours of one and six without attract
ing any special attention. The physicians
who viewed the corpse reserve their state
ments for the inquest which will follow.
Three bloodhounds, which are owned by
a private citizen, have been placed on the
scent, but they are useless.
The appearance Of the remains was
frightful and the mutilation was even
greater than in the previous cases. The
head had been severed from the body and
placed beneath one Of the arms. The ears
and nose had been cut of. The body was
disemboweled and the flesh was torn
from the thighs. The uterus and other
| organs are missing. The forehead and
cheeks had been completely skinned and
one hand was pushed into the stomach.
THE POLICE MYsTIFIED.
LONDON, Nov. 1O.-The murder which
| took place in Spitalhelds Whites dis
! trict yesterday morning is undeniabIy q
| continuation Of the series which was for
while interrupted for want of Oppor-
| tunity or inclination. In this case the
murderer worked leisurely, as is made
| evident by the fact that the killing was
| done in room fronting on the street, on
the ground floor and within a few yards
/ of a temporary police station, whence
officers issued hourly to patrol the dis
trict. Although the metropolitan police
| system is not yet discredited, the blood
| hound theory is entirely thrown out
! since the murder was not discovered un-
til ten O'Clock in the morning while the
| streets we're teeming with people and
traffic was going on uninterruptedly.
| General Sir Charles Warren was early
that all the precaution in the world could
| not prevent the work Of such murderers.
! The sole chance remaining to the police,
| he said, was to catch them red handed
and their change of tactics increased the
difficulty. In the open air, where The
killing has been done hitherto, the
chance Of their apprehension was slight
but in the case of an indoor murder,
such as the last, the hope of arresting the
perpetrator was almost barren of frui
tion. This latest murder will undoubted
ly cause a large number of arrests or
suspicion, but that the monster will be
brought to bay is q matter Of extreme
doubt since he has left no clues not
worked over by the officers invesEigat
ing the previous cases. The mos
annoying feature of the case is tha
the arrest of a number of innocent per
sons on suspicion will have to be repeat
ed. The opinion of Archibald Forbes
and Mr.. Wins low that the assassin is
homicidal maniac is confirmed by tn
latest murder, and the prediction has
become general that another murder will
soon follow. The brutality of the mutt
lation to which the last body was sub
jected surpassed all the others. In th
room to which the corpse was take
chunks of flesh and portions of the Wis
cera were strewn upon the floor, and tn
dissecting table and the stomach of on
surgeon gave way at the spectacle.
A PERTINENT INQUIRY.
LONDON, Nov. 1O.-In the House o
Commons last night Mr.. Conybeare
member for Camborne, asked whether
in view of the latest Whitechapel muir
der, Sir Charles Warren out not to be su
perceded as Chief Commissioner of Pc
. lice by a man accustomed to investigat
crime. The Speaker gave the membe
| notice that the question must be submit
ted in writing.
