sands crowded the thoroughfars, rushing
rren2ied and terror stricken, TO tho banks Of
the Thames.
The police, re-eRforced by several detach-

about the place. Excited men, frepzied
women and terror strichsn children slread
and crowded about the place, anxious to
view tho body and satisfy their own morbid
curiosity as to the methods Of tho mysterious
butcher. The police, with drawn cl1bs
though chagrined at the success of the fiend
