TWO ITALIANS ARRESTED.
In Connection With Maine Murder
of Whitechapel Description.

Portsmouth. y. H.. Sept "a trag-
edy. rivalling in horror the bu'cherlea
of Whitechapcl--its victim, like those
of the London Slums, a woman-has
thrown the folks of this section into n
state of frenzy, and has started the po
lice of two states upon n man hunt thai
they say will not end until the murderer
or murderrrS are in custody.
Mrs. Sarah T.. Mcdonald. n woman
twice married. and reputrd loose in
character. was killed. and her body
mltilatrd in manner that turns the
blood cold.
The autopsy on the body showed the
woman was evidently knocked in the
head. then stranglrd. then II stick was
forced into her body, and she was nj,
most impalcd upon it. The prints OF
fingers were plaiuly visible upon her
throat. ON her right ear there were
the marks of teeth. as though her as
salnnt had tried to bite her ear off.
A knife wound in the back was un.
doubtedly the cause Of her death. and
from this Il large amount of blood had
come when the body was found.
At the Portsmouth police station is
an Italian, Tony tav!cha. who was seen
near the scene of the crime. He says
that he Is innocent. and proves, as far
rs unofficial proof can go, that he was
asleep when The crime was committed.
Another arrest was made last night
in the person of Tony Gerry, an Italian,
who is employed in the same gang with
Cavicho. Gerry is held on suspicion,
there being no direct evidence against
him.
The woman's gold watch was taken
from her body. and its location may pos
sibly furnish clue that will lead to the
conviction of the murderer.
