 LONDON, Dec. 5.-The detectives of Scotland Yard nre busily at work ferret-- ing out the bottom facts in a sensational murder mystery which involves indirectly a number of the most arisuDcratic families of Great Britain.
 On Nov 26 last it was announced that q mysterious murder had been committed in Kensington, a populous western suburb of this metropolis.
 The body of a comedy, well dressed young woman about 30 years of age named Dawes, belonging to the unfortunate class, was found in n much frcquented thorough fare. Holland Villas road, kensington. A nasty examination of the body showed that her throat had been cut from car to car. The police at first were completely at fault, and some of the London news papers raised tho old cry of Jack the Ripper" although there was little or no ground for so doing. Then gradually the affair passed out of the public mind, and nobody expected that the Kensington murder mystery would ever he solved, and the police wcre blamed for their ap- parent stupidity.
 Came From Royal stock. 
 The police however. for once were un- justly condemned. Quietly but effective ly they went to work and gradually traced the dead woman's career from childhood up to a very short time before her death without any definite result. As the in vestigation progressed. however suspicion centered upon n young man of excellent family named Reginald Llcwcllyn Ira hcrne Bassct Saundcrson. n nephew of the  the Orange leader. member of parliament for North Armagh. n magistrate and dep uty lieutenant. Young Saundcrson is the son of Colonel Saundcrson's brother, Llc- wcllyn Trahcrnc BaSSct Saunderson, Esq, q justice of the peace of Dublin county. Ireland. who married Lady Rachel Mary Scott, third sister of the Earl of Clonmcll. n retired lieutenant colonel of | the British army. who served with dis tinction in the Ashantec war. Reginald

 promising in other ways young Saundcr- son was far from being strong minded | In fact. gradually his condition of mind caused his r,lativCS and friends much l anxiety that he was sent to a school for the protection and education Uf gentlemen of weak intellect at IIamptOn-Wick, near | Kingston upon Thames, England.
