lance of dozen pedestrians. She was
discovered in time to receive medical at

assault she made no cutlery, and said
she could never Identify the man who
attacked her.
1t was at this time that the only de-
scription of Jack the Ripper" was OBJ
tanned. Several pedestrians who hap
pened to be near at the time gave facts
from which the above picture has been
drawn. He looked to be about thirty
years Old, five feet eight inches in
height, and wore black cutaway coat,
dark trousers and a small round hat.
As he walked he turned up the collar
of his coat and pulled his hat over his
eyes, but it was seen that he was of
light complexion and had light mus

The body of Elizabeth jackson, tenth
victim, was found in sections between
May and June %, 1889. The eleventh
victim, Alice Mackenzie, was found
while still warm in Castle alley July IL.
The next of the unfortunate women
to fall under the. knife was Alice Hart.
a notorious character, whose mutlated
body was found under the railway arch
in Pinchin street. The thirteenth and
last of the Whitechapel crimes was that
of an old woman named Wolf. Her
body was picked up in pieces at Cross

the winter of 1891.
Up to this time many letters were re-
ceived by the London police called
Hell" and signed by Jack the Rip
PERI in which he said he would kill
fifteen women before he stopped, and
that he was soon going to Vienna and
Paris. Many of these letters were UNI

have since been committed in Vienna
and Paris. 1t is certainly strange, to
say the least.

searching for Jack the Ripper" and
should he be captured the man who
takes him into custody will receive re-
wards aggregating over $4,000.
The New York ssRippero
One murder has been committed in
this city by Jack the Ripper" and as
far as details are concerned the mutila-
ton was similar to that done in White
chapel, and the character of the woman

Alto o'clock the next morning young

the exception that the knife was found.

London murders that the police at once
