WORK OF A RIPPER
BODY OF WOMAN CUT AND
 SLAsHED.
Remains of Mrs. Annie Moore Found in Furnished Room in New York House--Her Husband Held
 By Police.

| New York, Aug. 2S.-A woman,
 known as Mrs. Annie Moore, was found
 murdered early today in furnished l room at No 60 Second Street. She had been horribly ripped and slashed. One
 gash had severed the Jugular vein in
 the left side of the throat. and another
 had almost severed the windpipe, the
 breast was badly slashed and a deep
 knife thrust had ripped open the body. ldisemboweling it. No weapon was found, and there were few blood marks around the room.
 James Moore, who had posed as the W oman's husband, was held by the po- | lice on suspicion. It was he who noti- , fled the police of the murder. He ran | to two detectives at Second Street and the Bowery at o'clock this morning and told them he had just gone to his home and thought his sister-in-law was dead. The police hurried to the house and began to investigate the crime. Moore told the police that he and the woman had been living to- gether for seven years. The woman, he said. was the widow of his brother, who died ten years ago.
 No one in the house could he found who had heard any sounds as if Q struggle was taking place. Herman von Kohlen, who has the adjoining room. was aroused by the police and said he had been in bed since o'clock i'll the afternoon and had heard no noises whatever.
 The dead woman was 50 years of age.
 The horrible wounds found on the woman's body recalled at once to the minds of the officers and doctors who were called, the Jack the Ripper murder some years ago. A hurried in- vestigation by the police showed no signs of a struggle and the police con- cluded that the woman had heen at- tackled in her sleep. Moore maintains that he is innocent. He told the police that he left the house on Second Street at o'clock last night and waht to a Bowery saloon, where he remained until 1 o'clock this morning. Police inqui- ries at the saloon developed the in- formation that Moore had been there until just before 10 o'clock, when he left. The lodgers in the Second Street house told the police that Moore re- turned home at about 10 o'clock, and that he did not go out ags4n after wards.
