LONDON, Dec. 80. The horrible dis
covery of young boys dead and mutt
lated body was made at Bradford this
morning and the town is wild with ex-
element, fearing that "Jack, the Rip
per-" or apt imitators Of his have made
their appearance here. The body was
found In an clubhouse and was that Of a
boy named John Gill, aged syears The
boy, when last seen alive, was sliding on
the ice with number of companions.
This morning he was found murdered.
His legs and arms were roughly chopped
off and tied to the body; the ears cut off,
and there were two stab wounds in the
chest. The heart and entrails were torn
out and lay on the ground near the body,
which was wrapped in rough covering
and flung in the outhouse. The greatest
excitement prevails, many believing that
Jack, the Ripper" has made his advent
in Bradford.
The police. however, hold the theory
that the murder was committed by a
gang of drunken lads, whose minds were
infamed by reading the reports of the
Whitechapel fend 1t is supposed that
the murder was committed at some dis
tance from the place where the body was
found and that afterward the body was
carried to the outhouse. No arrests have
yet been made, though detectives have
been sent down from London.
Ltaer news from Bradford says that a
milkman has been arrested on suspicion
of having committed the murder. The
boy used sometimes to accompany the
milkman on his rounds and the prisoner
was the first to recognize the mutilated
body of the lad. 1t is now certain that
the body was placed in the outhouse,
where ii was found, between the hours
of and this morning.
