A pronounced theory has sprung up that
Williams is the noted Jack the Ripper"
While resident OF Liverpool he frequently
visited London, and 1t Is found that these
visits tally with tho Whtechapel murders.
A description of Jack the Ripper tallies
with Williams.
There are few clews to the identity of the
man. White he was living at Ram Hill, he
went TO Lohaon. ne returned dressed IN
faded coat the worse for wear 8c said this
uniform was that OF n Benpal cavalry hut
eyaded making answers to ouestlons as TO
what reoiment he had served in He dis
nlaved noisoned dagpers and knives soma Of
which he left at Rain Hill. The police are
tracing the makers of the BAGS left bv viii
linms Only tho kitchen was searched today
The ground under the other rooms will be
excayated tomorrow
Description Oh ohe Oh Ills Nietims.
The body of the woman found today was
dressed, except that a boot and stocking were
missing. The clothes were OF one quality.
The woman had dark complexion and short
black hair, suggestive of a half caste. She
wore a wedding ring and keeper The rope
with which she had been strangled was about
the neck and tho throat was cut. The eldest
girls skull was crushed and the head was
nearly severed from the body. The brutality
of the murder suggests the ferocity of Jack
the Ripper" The work of concealing the
bodies was carried out carefully. After a
deep hole had been dug the bodies of the
woman and two children were thrown in and
cement was poured on them. The bodies of
the two elder children were thrown IN and
more cement was poured on them. Next the
tagstones were laid over the top Of the hole
and finally over all was applied layer of
pinches of cement extending over the entire
kitchen. The discovery of the murders has
caused an intense sensation.
