down, on the southern side of the Thames, we're
thrown into fever Of excitement this morning

be SEEN These CHASTITY objects were tied in
parcel with a stout cord. Shortly afterward
parcel OF female clothing was found at Bat
tersea- Both the fragments of the body and the
Clothes were wrapped IN pieces of cloth which
together had comprised a pair of woman's
drawers. On the waistband OF the drawers was
the name Fisher IN indelible ink. 1t is evil
dent that the clothing found belongs to the muir
dered woman. The portions OF the trunk
showed the woman TO have been large and well
developed They had apparently been in the
water about ten days. The discovery has re-
ylved the excitement which prevailed during
the period Of the Whitechapel horrors. and it Is
generally believed that Jack the Ripper has
Resumed his bloody work.
AT Battersea were also found the thighs of a
