WHITECHAPELisM has broken out to a
slight degree in Russia and the body of Il
young girl, mutilated as are the bodies in
Whitechspel, has been discovered near
Graivoron in South Russia. There is
this difference, however, that the mur-
dcrers have been captured. They con-
fessed that they had killed her, in order
TO get the fat to make candle of, there
being superstition that the burning of
such candle would secure them from
detection. The result will probably put
an end to two murderers and an ugly
superstition.
