For some mysterious reason, known
oily to the wise city fathers, the region
round about Dorset street has fewer
police than some OF the districts of equal
size in the fashionab West End As
result the records fer the district show
more Boobies killed or wounded here
than anywhere else in the city. All the
little crooked alleys leading off the street
make it easier for the criminals to esoa pc,
too. Constable Thompson, who was muir
del ed by Dorset street tough only few
days ago, actually saw the Ripper COM
ing from one of his. crimes. hSt the
creature darted into an alley and was
swallowed up before the officer could
overtake or get near enough to him to
make sure of his identity. 3 zt s-, a.. ! -
