about % years Of age and quite good

was found lying on her back with her
head nearly severed from her body.
There was also severe wound on the

an alarming nature during the early

committed.
The murdered woman, Judging from
her appearance, belonged to the aban-
doncd class Ollcmales and was fairly we'll
dressed, though her hair was untidy,
Her clothing had not been disarranged.
The police theory is thai the woman was
murdered while III standing position;
that tho crime was probably tie work of
| 'Jack tho Rlppev," and that the MUIR
dcrcr was frightened away by the ap-
proach cfsomc pedestrian before he had
tim" to mutilatc the body in the manner
already described in previous crimes at
trlbuted TO "Jack the Ripper" On the
other hand, it is known that the resi-
dents OF Whitcchapel IN particular, and
OF London IN general, arc prone to give
credit to "Jack the Rppcr'' for any
murder or attempt at murder in White
chapel where woman is concerned.

The blood was still warm when the body

been cleared away the police placed q

fortunate woman was found, in order to
mark tho spot where the crime was per-
pctrated. Large crowds of people, nat
urally, gathered around "Swallows'
Garden" this morning. In spite Of the
strong efforts OF scores of fdetectivcs and
OF uniformed and plain-clothes people of
the division, there seems to be, as in 80
many other and similar cases, no def

have been made.

just previous to the time the murder is
supposed to have been committed, and
the police arc now engaged IN searching
all vessels lying III the Thames, on the
many docks and about the port of Lon

The policeman who found the muir
dcrcd woman must have reached the
spot while the murderer was only few
yards away. The Victims lips wero
still twilchins ncrvously and her eyes
still rolling when the officer bent over
her, and Il moment later he sounded his
whistle in call for assistance, which
must have placed every policeman in the
ncighborhoOd on the alert.
