wHTTECHAPEL.


.Tandon Feb 1.-THE body Of q woman, con-
cealed in a wooden chest was discovered to-day
hv the nolice of Dundee. The abdomen was
r;nred omen and the body otherwise mutilated
The chest was so small that The murderer had
been compelled to squeeze the body into 1t. The
husband of the woman was arrested
A dispatch from Dundee says that the murderer
of the woman is w. III. Bury, her husband. Bury
was o resident Of WhitechapeL London, and his
antecedents, which have been traced, suggest that
be is probably Jack the Ripper" and that he is
subject to fits of unconscious murder mania. The
post-mortem examination held on the body OF the
Dundee victim proved that the woman had nrst
been strangled, and that her body had then been
mutilated, the abdomen being ripped open ana
the legs and arms twisted and broken.
Bury says that he left Whitechapel three weeks
ago. He refused to say why he left there and
acknowledges that he had no business requiring
his attendance in Dundee. lie says that he and
his wife drank heavily last night before retiring,
hnd that he does not know how he got to bed.
Upon awakening he says he found his wife lying
upon the floor with rope around her neck.
Actuated by sudden mad impulse, for which he
cannot account, he seized knife and slashed
the body Upon reason returning, he became
alarmed and hastily crushed the body into the
chest in which it was found thinking 10 fly
and make his escape. He found. however that
he could not leave his wife's body, and he finally
resolved TO iaform the police.
The theory of the police officials is that Bury's
wife knew of facts connecting him with the East
End atrocities, and that she took him TO Dundee
in the hope Of preventing recurrence Of the
crimes.
