JACK THE RIPPER.
He Was Detected by DR.. Forbes Winslow
the Insanity Expert.


The San has already published an
interview with DR.. Forbes Winslow,
the English insanity specialist, who is
now in New York attending the Medi-
co-Legal Congress, in which he deelar
ed that Jack the Ripper is in an in
sane asylum Yesterday the New
York World published long account,
coming from DIR. Winslow, of his meth
cd in fixing the Whitechapel murder
upon the guilty man. DIR. Winslow
declared to W0rzd reporter:
You may positively state that Jack
the Ripper has been caught. You
may quote me as authority for the
statement that the perpetrator of the
shocking Whitechapel murders has
been identified and is now out of
harms way in an insane asylum. Up
on this | stake my reputation as an in
sanity expert, but professional reasons
make it impossible for me to reveal to
the world the name OR identity of the
murderer"
These positive and unqualified state
ments from the foremost insanity spe-
cialist of Europe at last puts an end to
the mystery of the Whitechapel hor-
rOrs.
The distinguished specialist was call
ed upon to advise as to the manner of
man who was so cunningly outwitting
the police day after day, and he at
once determined that the Whitechapel
butcheries were the work of q mad
man-not a w1ld-eyed maniac, but a
monster of shrewdness, caution and in
telligence. But the murders were, as
Dr. Winslow clearly pointed out, the
work of an insane mind. He analysed
the methods, the motives and the at
tending circumstances, and finally pre-
scented to the London police a careful
ly and scientifically constructed men
tai picture of the man they must
search for.
Becoming intensely interested in the
field of research before him, the doc
tor gave his whole heart and soul to
the study of the mystery, and as each
fresh victim was discovered he
strengthened and completed his the
cries as to the diseased mind which
had perpetrated the butcheries. But
the great specialist became more than
q builder of scientific theories-he
found himself pursuing clues and
searching for facts to prove his scien-
tific deductions. He was at once a
medical theorist and practical detec
tive.
Day after day and night after night
the doctor spent in the Whitechapel
slums. The detectives knew him, the
lodging house keepers welcomed him,
and at last the poor creatures of the
streets came to know him. In terror
they rushed to him with every scrap
of information which might to his
mind be of value. To him the fright
ened women looked for hope. IN the
presence of this great specialist they
felt treasured and they welcomed him
to their dens and eagerly obeyed his
commands and found for him the bits
of information he wanted
1t is not, therefore, surprising that
it was DR.. Forbes Winslow and not the
detectives of Scotland Yard who rea-
soned out an accurate scientific men
tai picture of the Whitechapel mur-

Curious Case Of PARALYSIS.

A curious and decidedly interesting
case of paralysis was exhibited to the
medical students of the university of
Pennsylvania at a recent session of
clinics. The patient was telegraph
operator, who, from excessive use in
making delicate touches on the instru
ment, had suffered paralysis in his
right hand. He then learned to use
his left, and in six months that was
also useless. It was explained by nr.
Horatio G. Wood as case of extreme
nervousness, for in any other function
the patient could use either hand as
well as he ever could. When, how
ever, he undertook to write anything
his hand would tremble up and down
as on telegraph instrument, and
when he attempted to use the instru-
ment his hand would not move at all.

The Federal band had played "March-

by cheer after cheer Of appreciation
