JACK THE RIPPER. :"
ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE WHITE
CHAPEL MURDERER.

CHAPEL MURDERER.
The Murdered Woman Said to Belong to
That Unfortunate Glass Against Which
the Fiend Has Sworn Tengeance-The
Story of the Terrible Deed.
LONDON, Feb. l3.-Further particu-
lars IN regard to the woman who was
found dead in the Whitechapel district
this morning, and who is supposed to
have been murdered by the fend known
as Jack the Ripper" show that she Is
about 25 years Of age and quite good
looking for woman of her class. She
was found living on her back with her
head nearly severed from her body.
There was also severe wound on the
back Of her head, caused. it is thought.
by the severe fall she experienced when
her assailant knocked her down.
The scene of this. possibly the latest,
ofseveral Of Jack the Ripper's" crimes,
is a dark, narrow archway known as
s'SwaIlows' Garden", and leading from
Little Mint street to Chambers street.
The archway referred to IS during busy
hours well-frequented thorough fare,
and partially used by railway employees
and stablemen in passing to and from
their residencesin and about that packed
neighborhood to their work on the num-
erous lines of railroads or in the many
stables scattered about that section of
the city. At all times Of the night
there are people awake in the houses
and pedestrians passing about and
through Swallows Garden", but no
body seems to have heard any crying OF
an alarming nature during the early
hours this morning when the crime was
committed.
The murdered woman, judging from
her appearance, belonged to the aban-
doned class offemales andw fairly well
dressed, though her hair was untidy.
Her clothing had not been disarranged.
The police theory is that the woman was
murdered while in a standing position;
that the crime was probably the work of
"Jack the Ripper" and that the muir
derer was frightened away by the ap-
proach Of some pedestrian before he had
time to mutilate the body in the manner
already described in previous crimes at
tributed to Jack the Ripper" Osathe-
other hand, it is known that the resi-
dents of Whitechapel 10 particular, and
of London in general, are prone to give
credit to "Jack the Ripper" for any
murder or attempt at murder in White
chapel where woman is concerned.
The body, after the usual formalities
were taken, with the object ofestablish-
ing the woman's identity and of finding
clue to the murderer, had been gone
through with in the usual manner, was
taken to the Whitechapel mortuary.
The blood was still warm when the body
was found. When the blood stains had
been cleared away the police placed
rough cross of woodwork over the spot
in Swallows Garden" where the un-
fortunate woman was found, in order to
mark the spot where the crime was per-
petrated. Large crowds Of people, nat
/ urally, gathered around Swallows
Garden" this morning. In spite of the
strong efforts Of scores of detectives and
of uniformed and plain-clothes people Of
the division, there seems to be, as in so
many ether and similar cases, no def,
mite clue to the murderer. No arrests
| have been made.
A railroad employee, it is true, says
he saw the murdered woman talking to
a man, apparently foreign seaman,
| just previous to the time the murder is
supposed to have been committed, and
the police are now engaged in searching
all vessels lying IN the Thames, on the
many docks and about the port of Lon
don.
The policeman who found the mur-
dered woman must have reached the
spot while the murderer was only few
yards away. The victlm's lips were
still twitching nervously and her eyes
still rolling when the officer bent over
her, and moment later he sounded his
whistle in call for assistance, which
must have placed every policeman in the
neighborhood on the alert.
CAUGHT AT LASg,
LONDON, Feb. 16.-The latest discoY-
cry made by the Metropolitan Police in
connection with the Whitechapel mur-
der of Friday morning last, by which
the woman known as "Carrotty Nell"
lost her life, bids fair to connect tie
man Sailer, now in custody, with this
"Jack the Ripper" crime. The Metro
politan Police now have in their posses
sion a sharp and dangerous looking
knife, stained with blood and showing
traces of having recently been washed.
The blood stains were examined micro
scopicany by DR.. Phillips, police surgeon,
attached to the Leman Street Police
Station. DR.. Phillips has no doubt that
the stains are those of human blood.
| This formidable knife has been traced
to the ownership of Sadler, who, as al
ready stated, was fireman on board
steamer which recently arrived from
Turkey. The police have no doubt that
Sadler was the murderer Of "Carrotty
Nell"
