A WOMAN is MUlILATED

Who Must Kill Six More


ahlIen woman lying at the corner et a
railway arch on the Gable street, White
Chapel. An examination Of the re-
mains showed that the head and legs
had been cut of and carried away and
the stomach ripped open, and the
intestines lying on the ground. Acor'
don Of police instantly surrounded the
spot. .Rollcemen pass the spot every
fifteen minutes. Those on duty last
night say they saw nothing suspicious.
The physicians who examined the body
state that in their opinion the murder
and mutilation occupied nearly an hour,
Itis surmlsed that the murderer carried
of the head and legs in q bag. The
murder Is the worst OF the whole series
Of White Chapel murders.
The manner in which the limbs had
been severed from the body shows that
the murderer was possessed OF some
surgical skill. The woman was about 80
yeurs old. Her clothing was shabby and
she was evidently spiritdrinker. The
remains have not been identified. The
most intense excitement again prevails
in White.Chapel. Crowds surround the
mohuary in which the body lies.
LATER DETAILS.
tCrdCtalls concerning the finding Of
tho body Of the murdered woman in
White Chapel this morning show that
there Vas no blood on the ground where
the body was found, neither was there
any blood m the body. From this 1t is
evident that The murder was committed
In some other place and that the body
was subsequently deposited under the
railway arch. The trunk was nude. A
rent and bloody chemise was found lly'
Ing near the body. The arms were In
tact, but the legs were mi1sing. 1t ts
believed that the woman has been dead
for two days. Three sailors who were
sleeping under the arch next to the one
under which the body was found were
taken into custody by the police. They
convinced the authorities, however, that
they had seen or heard nothing OF q sus-
piCious nature, and they were discharged.
TIE RIPrRR's VICTIMS.
That this last crime was committed by
the same hand as the others attributed
to Jack tho Ripper ia evident by the
manner of it. The style is that Of the
mysterious tlend.
The fra OF his victims was Martha |
Turher, who fell under his knife early IL.
the morning of August I, 1883. She had
been stabbed thirty'two times by some
sharp instrument, supposed to have been
q bayonet.
The next was Polly Nichols, whose
head was nearly severed from her BODY,
aud the abdomen ripped oHen. she per-
ished August 81, and the corpse was
found few moments after the murder,
asst was still warm.
A week later Annie Chapman was
butCherUd at the door oi q lodging house,
her throat being cut, and the disembow-
cling being more atrocious than in the
previous case.
=, The terror then reigning and the
wAtChfulness OF the police sent the say
age into hiding, but he came out early
in the morning OF September 80 and
killed Elizabeth Stride, cutting her
throat us usual, but apparently not hav-
Ing time TO mutilate tho body, or hasten
ing through with 1t in order 10 finish
another ghastly task while the police
were engaged with the remains OF Stride,
"a. while they were carrying her body to |
the dead house, he knitted another wo-
man not more than 10 minutes walk
away. She was Catharine Eddowes, and
her throat was cut and her body dlsem-
bowelled.
THE LAST MURDERS.
Tho next deed oil blood was on Mo-
vembCr 0, when the body OF Mary KEEL
Icy was found. In that case the head,
ears and nose were cut of, and the dis
CmbOweling was shocking beyond de-
BCriptiOn. After this crime there was a
cessation in the career OF blood, but Just
as II was hoped that II would not be re-
newCd and the terrified quarter OF Lon
don was recovering its courage, Alice

The morning Of July II last, and the de.
tails Of the murder correspond so well

Of an unknown woman during Christmas
week Of 1887, and tho murder Just COM

the one foul hand. There are Others,
but the evidence that they were com.
mited by the same hand Is not con-
elusive.
