Stories that Point to the Murderer Be-
Ing jew.

New YORK, Sept. 16.--A London cabl
to the World says: Stories are published
here this afternoon to show that the no
torious Wlitechapel murders are th,
work of Jew. The theory is based or
! the location of the crime and the methot
of the murder. 1t is said the center o.
the area covered by these murders Is the
heart of the low quarter. 1t will be re.
membered that the murderer fled to this
central neighborhood the night of Sep
tember 30, 1888, after he had killed two
women within couple of hours.
With tolerable certainty his flight that
night can be traced to this wretched cen
tral area. He fled in this direction after
killing the first, then turn aside to Mitre
Square to kill the second woman and
resumed his flight toward the common
center, as one may assume to know, be-
cause he dropped the second weman's
apron in Goulstron street. this being the
only ease OF all the nine in which he left
u trace of the direction of his retreat.
Now as to the knife. From what is
known of the cuts on the bodies OF the
"ripper's" victims there is reason for be.
lieving and none for dsbelieving that the
instrument of death was long and ex-
ceeding keen knife, such as Jewish rabbis
use in slaughtering ANIMALS for the con.
OF the faithful.
The authorities here, medical and police
attempt to keep secret all serviceable in
regarding the physical mutila-
tons. They resent all inquiries, but
enough has been learned in this direction
to show that the mutilation and amputa-
lions have been made in a manner that,
il not of surgeons skill, is at least of
clever butchers skill, and seemingly of
Jewish butchers skill,
