ACE THE RIPPER AGAIN,
his Time He Commits His Bloody
Deed in the City OF New
York.
The Police Hot ON His Trail hut the
Fiend is Not Yet
Caught.

New NoHL. April n. Now let the
police of New York prove their boosted
superiority over the police Of London.
Jack the Ripper is here, He has done
his unspeakablc work, His victim,
,mangled as he manglcd her pre-
tdecessors in the grim lists IN
London, lies now as he left her
in a garrett in IA lodging house corner of
Water and Catherine streets where the
deed was done. Further than that, the
, weapon used has been found and is in
the hands of the police. But more than
all, Jack the Ripper himself was seen
before he did his bloody work. The
girl who saw him is able to give q close
and clear description of him. and If
brought face to face with him she can
identify him positively.
The story of the crime is horrible in its
simplicity and in ITS familiarity under
it's different surroundings, and with mod
ifications incident to those surroundings
it is an exact repetition OF the horrible
atrocities of White Chapel. The woman
was fully GO and the man not over 81
or 80. The man gave his name as
Nicolai to the clerk of the lodging house
where they went at 1919 last night. At
10 o clock this morning the boy whose
duty it is To- rouse tardy dodgers pushed
open the door Of No 81. and there behold
such a scene of horror as he will not for
get to his diving day. Stretched out on
the bed naked from waist down. lying on
her side. with both arms twisted and
bent under her. her head cnvclopcd in a
fold after fold Of cloth, the old
womae Law stark; dead on a mattress
soaked with her blood. She had been
completely d|isemhowled and the terrible
result of the operation was drawn out
and scattered over the entire lower part
of the bed. The boy after one glance at
this appalling spectacle. flew away and
gave the alarm. Police captain OCon-
nor and the rcundsmen made a careful
search of the room, and on the toor close
by the bed, with its haft and blade still
wet with blood. lay the knife with which
the deed was done.
The murder must have been
well nigh n~oisless. The adjoining
room is only separated 10y Il thin board
partition. 1t would be almost posi-
BILE to hear IA whisper through it. Yet
the man who slept there heard not IA
sound. The assassin did his work, stole
quietly away, and Jack the Ripper's first
bloody work had been done in New
York.
Inspector Williams is tonight assisting
Inspector Byrnes in questioning people
who continually being brought in by the
largest force of central office detectives
and policemen ever at work on
q single case in New York.
One of the women arrested. Mrs. Har-
rington. who keeps the lodging house,
gave information whereby the police
arrested a mar known in his haunts as
''Frenchy,' and who, according to Mrs
Harrington, was an acquaintance OF the
dead woman, whose name. she said, was
Carrie Brown, 60 years old. The woman
formerly lived out at service, but was Sc
much given to riotous living that she
acquired an uncnviable reputation and
thus lost her chances Of gaining an hon
est livelihood. The police would give ne
information concerning the man. nol
would they give his right name.
