WHITECHAPEL'S PEND.
He Has Resumed His Horrible
 Butchery.
THE WORST HE HAS DONE YET.

n This Is His Ninth Victim, and She Was More Terribly Mutilated Than the Others-Murdered in Her Room-The Police More NIystifed Than Ever. LONDON, Nov. 10-The Whitechapel butcher, after a cessation of two months, has resumed his horrible atrocities. His ninth victim has paid the penalty of his unsuitable thirst and still the atrocious fend is at large
 In small room in Dorset street, Spital- fields, the center of the silk weaving dis tricts, the body of his latest victim was found yesterday. Unlike the previous atroci- ties, this awful crime was committed within a building.
 The woman is known as Lizzie Fisher among her associates. Like all the others, she was disreputable character. She was married to a porter named Lawrence, but lived with him only occasionally. When she tired of the companionship of her husband she would abandon him and occupy the room in which her mutiated body was found.
 The murdered woman had latch key to the house in which her room was located. She could. enter the house when she pleased and be seen by no one. None of the occu-
 
 home, and no one saw any man with her or entering her room. The possibility of his Identification is therefore very remote. He might have left the house at any time be- tween l and in the morning, and escaped without observation
 The mutiation of this victim was more frightful than in the case of any who pre- ceded her.
 The butcher must first have choked his victim or stunned her by blow the head. When she was unconscious he brought into acquisition the keen knife used by him in his previous atrocities First he severed the head from the body with all the skill and dexterity of practiced surgeon. Holding the ghastly evidence of his appalling crime before him, he exercised his bloodthirsty mania at will. The skin of the face was cut in fantastic figures. The forehead was slashed and large patches of skin cut clean off that portion. The cheeks were then slashed and cut in the same horrd fashion. Then he slit the nose but, not satisfied with this fearful disfgure- ment, he cut that organ from the face The ears were also severed.
 Having completed the horrible mutilation of the severed head of his victim, he devoted 1 his fiendish attention to the other portions of the body. With single slash of the knife he laid open the abdomen of the victim Then, with the skill and delicacy of a surgeon, he disemboweled the unfortunate woman and laid the intestines across the chest The flesh of the thighs was cut and hacked in fearful shape.
 To complete the horrible sight he took the fearfully mutilated head of his victim and placed it under one of the arms of the woman. The other arm he drew across the body and placed her hand in the pit of her l stomach.
 ;c ioll of the series which was for while inter- rupted for want of opportunity or inclina- 1 tion. In this case the murderer worked lesurely, 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 district. Although the metropolitan police system is not yet discredited, the bloodhound theory is entirely thrown out since the mur der was not discovered until 10 o'clock in the morning. while the streets were teeming with people and traffic was going uninter ruptedly Gen. Sir Charles Warren was early on the scene and told a reporter that all the precaution in the world could not pre- vent the work of such murderers. The sole chance remaining to the police, he said, wa. to catch them red handed and their change of tactics increased the difficulty In tho open ar, NleIS Uilo hlllIll5 udS been uOut hitherto, the chance of their apprehensio, was slight, but in the case of an indoor mur ], der, such as the last, the hope of arrestine | the perpetrator was almost barren of fruition
 The latest murder will undoubtedly caus | a large number of arrests on suspicion, bu , that the monster will be brought to book a matter of extreme doubt, since he has lief no clew not worked over by the officers inves , tigating the previous cases. The most annoy l ing feature of the case is that the arrest O 9 innocent persons on suspicion will have to b. l repeated. The opinion of Archibald Forbe and MT. Winsow that the assassin is a homi cidal maniac is confirmed by the latest mur ! der and the prediction has become genera s that another murder will soon follow. yI The brutality of the mutilation to whicl } the last body was subjected surpassed al t the others In the room to which the corps : was taken chunks of flesh and portions of tn ] l viscera were strew upon the floor and tn dissecting table, and the stomach of one o V the surgeons gave way at the spectacle II In the house of commons MT. Conybeare member for Camborne, asked whether, i 2 1 view of the latest Whitechapel murder, Si ] | Charles Warren ought not to be supersede 1 as chief commissioner of police by a man ac ] customed to investigate crime.
 The speaker gave tho member notice tha s 1 the question must be submitted in writing,
 War in Egypt.
