- lie says he doesn't want any one praying
around him, and he threatened to kick me
out II don't let him alone. lie is bad man
and sinner"
John Dowd would not talk about anything
else, and as he apparently knew nothing OF
his brothers crimes, Justice Duffy committed
him to the insane ward at Bellevue Hospital,
to be examined as to his mental condition.
The Slasher was committed to the TombS
without bail.
HIS TALK TO THE INSPECTOR.
"When had Dowd in my office yesterday"
him quietly he told me first that he had cut
Muller because the latter was drunk and had
pushed and struck him. He said he did not
know who the man was.
Then said to him very quietly:
How was 1t that you came to cut that fell

on the sidewalk and had not touched you or
threatened you in any wayi'

Of my mouth, when DOwd elevated his hands

fairly blaZed.
al cut him., he Kissed between his teeth,
because thought he was - Dutchman.
l hate Dutchmen, and l never see one who
looks like that but wha; want to Kill him.
i can't help it"
The Inspector said he tiled to draw out
some further details, but DOwd lapsed into
silence and would not say another word.
NOT JACK THE RIPPER.
Inspector Byrnes went on to say that he
had round out that Dowd, who was born In
Liverpool, had been back to England several
tines since he first came here In 1859 with
his parents, but he could not ascertain that
lie had been over recently or within the
period covered by the Whitechapel murders.
Therefore ie could not connect him with
Jack the Ripper.
THE OTHER sLAsHING CASES.
Another evidence Of Dowds connection with
the recent slashing cases is the positive iden-
tltication OF the prisoner by John Clark, OF
Elizabeth, n. j., who was assaulted In Mul.

300 miles to the eastward of Point Bar row. No whaling vessel had ever pene- trated that far before.
 Indeed such voyage was equal to try ing to find northwest passage. Two weary winters were passed by the three crews. Up to the time the ice broke up last summer the expedition had been a failure. Captain Herendeen became discouraged, and after cruising around awhile made a start to get out of the Arctic ocean. The Gralnpus and Hume, however, worked to the eastward, and were rewarded with sixteen and twelve immense whales, respectively. The Grampus returned and the Hume re- mained over another winter.
 Only the whalebone in the head of whale is taken, the blubber being thrown away, as the Hume is only eighty-eight tons net, and has no place to store the hundreds of barrels of oil that the whales she has taken would have made had they been tried Out.-San Francisco Chron- icla
