hEOTH RR VICTIM.

The whitechapei Victim n Fallen
woman-The Rody Carved and
Partof IL Carried Away-Murdered
in SoRig Remote Quarter and bee
posted Under a Railroad Arch.
LONDON, Sept. p-At 80 this morn
ing a policemaf, SofTnd the body Of q
fallen woman IyiSsast the corner of a
railway arch on Oats, Whiteohapel. An
examination of the remsjns showed that
the head aud arms had been cut of and
carried away and the stGmach ripped
open the intestines lying on the ground.
A Gordon of police instantly surrounded
the SCOT, but no arrests have up. to this
hour rs a. m. been made.
Policemen pass the spot every Is min
! utes. 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 nour. 1t il surmised
that the murderer carried of the head
and arms in bag.
The murder Is the worst of the whole
series OF whiteohapsl murders. The
manner in which the limbs had baen
severed from the BODY shows that the
murderer was possessed of some surgical
bAtils Lub Wpiuhh WHb aOuut w Sohfo
old. Der clothing was shabby and she
was evidently spirit drinker. The re,
mains have not been identified. The
most intense excitement again prevails in
whitechapel. Crowds surround the
mortuary in which the body lies.
Later details concerning the body show
that there was no blood on the ground
where the body was found neither was
there any blood on the body. From this
it is evident that the murder was COM
mitted in some other place and that the
body was subsequently deposited under
the railway arch. The trunk was nude.
A rent aud bloody ohemise was found
lying near the body. The arms were in
tact but the legs were missing. 1t is be-
lieved 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.
They convinced the authorities, however,
that they had seen or heard nothing Of q
Suspicious nature, and they were dis
charged.

About enree weeks ago William Emery
removed from Wilmington to Second and
Hayes streets, where he opened a Iunk
store. AS the house was larger than wa.
needed for the use of his family he sublet
some OF the rooms to three women, who,
during the latter part of last week, COM
menoed taking male visitors to their rooms.
Suspecting that something was wrong,
Mrs. Emery kept watch on the tenants
and learned that their male visitors came
TO the house for immoral purposes. Yes
terday morning Emery procured warrants
tor the arrest Of the women, whose names
are Kate Burns, Mary Porter and Rose
McAleer. The warrants were placed in the
hands OF Chief OF Police Knight with In
structions to arrest the women II they re-
fused to leave the house and town immedi-
ately. The women chose the latter course
and left as soon as they could pack up their
Qarmanta.
