II as an 'Embankm.nt'' Murder, ~
Distinguishing IL From the Whitcc:sapcl

LONDON, Sept 1l.-At half past five
yesterday morning policeman found the
body Of an abandoned woman lying in the
corner Of a railway arch spanning Cable
street, Whitcchapel. Examination OF tho
body showed that the head and legs Ind
been cut off and carried away aud tho
stomach ripped open. leaving the bowels

officers around the spot but no arrests
were made. policeman passed the
place where the body was found every
fifteen minutes throughout the night,
and saw nothing 10 arouse his suspi-
cions. PLY sicians believe that the
murder occupied nearly nn hour. and il
Is surmiscd that the murderer carried
the head and legs away IN bag. The
murder Is the most horrible OF the whole
Whitechapel series. The dissection Of
the body showed that the perpetrator
possessed considerable surgical skill.
The murdered woman was about thirty
years OF age and was evidently addicted
TO the use Of spirituous liquors. Her
clothing was shabby. As yet she has not
been identified. The murder has created
tremendous excitement and largo
crowd Of agitated humanity surrounds
the morgue. whittier the body was taken.
Further examination reveals the
fact that there was no blood
on the ground where the body was
found, nor was there any indication Of q
~ ftrs. <I.. 1.n-
lief that the woman was murdered IN q
house and her body taken 70 tho spot
where It was discovered. The trunk was
nude, and a torn and bloody chemise was
lying near II. Experts are OF the opinion
that the woman was killed two ldays ago.
Three sailors were, subsequently to tho
discovery Of the body. found sleeping in
the adjoining arch. They were arrested,
but convinced the police that they had
neither seen nor heard any thing Of the
body lying near them, and were dis
charged.

LONDON, Sept. 10.--Although the muir

IN the Whitechapel district Is generally

OF all the facts leads 10 the conclusion
that this murder Is not on the Ripper"
The police and medical men, familiar
with the details Of the recent London
horrors OF this class, say that this last
murder must be classified with those
known as the "Embankmcnt" murder. o.
which there have now been four in all.
including the one in which the headless
body Of the victim was recently discover
ed in Chelsea, and Of which the head
has never been found. Although there
is general resemblance between the
horrible work Of the two murderers. both
taking special pains to mutilate their
victims and carry OF portions Of the
bodies, each carries of different portion.
Besides this there are other evidences
