A French Jack-the.Ripper.

LYONS, France, Oct. IA shepherd
named Vacher has been arrested at
Belley, A miles from this city, charged
with committing a series of socalled
Jack-the-ripper murders. He has con
fessed to killing three shepherds, three
girls and two old women. Vacher was
formerly confined in an asylum for the
insane. The series of murders attrib.
uted to him commenced in 1894, and
they appear to have been actuated by
purely bloodthirsty instincts, as the
victims were all poor people. They
were terribly mutilated after their
threats had been cut and all the wo-
men were criminally assaulted.
