LONDON, Nov. 1l.-Nothing more, OF
course is known regarding the White
chapel murder. The newspaper report
es, who might do something, are bafIled
by police distractions, for the regular
force is in horror lest some outsider
should detect the criminal. London is
waiting for new murder and theoriz-
ing about those already committed.
While the women grow more and more
terrified the men, who plainly SEQ they
are safe, speculate philosophically as to
when the murderer will betray himself.
The opinion is growing that the muir
derer is not insane and that he is a
sailor, who commits murders on his
periodical returns to town. Many think
him Malay, robbed, perhaps, OF his
savings by some fallen woman, and
taking revenge in Malay fashion. Many

ness generally. There is reason to think
that Warren, the Chief of Police, or
Matthews, the Home Secretary, will be
made scapegoat and sacrificed las, by
the way, they deserve to bel to the pop
ular clamor. The Tories arc beginning
to see they must sacrifice someone or
lose every one OF the numerous seats
they hold in the east end Of London;
and when Tory sees prospect OF los
ing office he gives in to circumstances
and forgets good form, and so on with
speed that the commonest American
machine politician cannot hope to rival.
talked with Joseph Barnett, alias
Kelly, with whom the murdered woman
hadlivedsome time before she was killed.
He was very wretched specimen of the
human race. The dead woman's
real name he said was Marie Jelnnette
Kelley. She was born in Limerick,
was "a years OF age, married coal miner
named Davis at 10, and took to street
walking in Cardiff after an explosion
killed her husband at the end OF two
years OF married life. She went with
ship captain to France, stayed there
some time, came back pretty and well
dressed, established herselfin in the west
OF London, drifted to the east end under
the influence of drink three years ago
took up Barnett, alias Kelly, a year after,
and was, Kelly tearfully said, very
good girl as long as they lived together.
TOO GENEROUS FOR KELLY.
Ho left her because she was too ten
der hearted and would allow the poor,
women whom she knew to
come in occasionally, If they had no
other shelter, and share the room in
which they lived. The rupture came
when Marie Jeanette allowed miser-
able creature named Harney, who had
not penny for lodging, to share their
limited accommodations two nights in
succession. My informant assured me
he had not given the dead woman up
entirely, but they lived separately, sim
ply on account OF incompatibility.
Whenever he had money he used to call
and share it with her. In fact, on the
morning OF the murder he had started
to his former mistresses' room to give
her three pence. This last fact, stated
in most matter-of-fact way, gives some
idea OF what real London povertyi like.
The latest move OF the authorities Just
announced has been to offer free par
don to any accomplice or accessory who
will denounce the murderer. There is
little likelihood Of this producing any
effect
