MAN WHO DIDN'T SLEEP
FOR TWENTY YEARS is DEAD

NEW YORK, July 2.-Alonzo Wire, former
police chief of Hackensack, N. j., who as
serted that he had not closed his eyes in sleep
for twenty years, died Friday night from an
affection of the lungs and bronchial tubes
Mr. Wires strange ailment was believed to
have been the result of a lightning stroke
which grazed him thirty years ago, when he
was driving a team of horses. The animals
were stunned and Wire deafened for a
long period. Soon afterward he began to de-
velop Insomnia and ten years later he fire.
quently would spend entire nights without
sleep.
During the height of his strange malady he
was engaged as night watchman for the
Lackawanna railroad. During the day he
would merely recline on couch, but would
not close his eyes. In spite of inability to get
rest such as other people enjoyed, Wire did not
seem TO be affected, except that he lost d
little weight.
throughout his recent illness he was just as
wakefui as ever, and it apparently did not
affect his vitality seriously.

Alienist Gets Letter From a
Melbourne Woman.
Singular Attendance at st.
Paul's Church Is Noted.

London. Aug. 9.-Dr. Forbes Wins
low, criminal and lunacy expert
prominent in the Florence Maybrick
case. said today that Jack the Rip
per-" whose atrocious murders in the
Whitechapel section of this city in the
late sos threw the entire continent
into a state of frenzy, is living in se-'
clusion in South Africa. That he
knew the Ripper" also is declared
by Doctor Winslow, and he says fur
Their that he offered to point the man
out to the police any Sunday morn
ing in front of st. Paurs church. but
that the police declined to accept his
challenge.
To substantiate his assertion the
physician produced a number of let
tiers that he had received from the po-
lice at the time, in which they de-
clared that his offers to point out the
Ripper in front of the church were
absurd.
A Woman Knows Him, Too.
The murders which were traced to
the Ripper" lasted eighteen months
Most of his victims were women. That
the same man committed all the MUIR
ders became known through the man
ner in which the bodies were mutt
England and other countries, but all
finally were released.
Doctor Wnislow has a letter from
a woman in Melbourne in which she
says that the Ripper" was known
to her. The descriptions of the rip
per" furnished by the woman coin
eide with those of Doctor Winslow.
The letter given out by Doctor Wins
low is as follows:
HE is a native of Melbourne Victor
ia. He was educated at the Scotch col
lege here. The late Doctor was a
great friend of his family and it was
from him he gained his surgical know
ledge, the doctor taking him to post
morems When he arrived in Mel
bourne he married Miss D, who lived
only a little more than a year.
He Liked to Read of Crimes.
His wife, the letter continues. died
from natural causes. It was shortly af-
ter her death that Doctor Winslow's
correspondent met Jack He told her
he had had a hard time in London. He
was buying Their the papers that con
tanned the fullest reports of crimes. She
asked him why he bought these papers.
and the letter proceeds:
HE said, want to see how things
are in London Then he began reading
the trial of man named James Can
ham Reade. This man married and de-
serted several women and finally killed
one,s for which crime he was hanged
When he had finished reading I said

ed my letter. but as I had told them
all 1 had to say did not write again
till last year, but I have hos nothing
from them. 1t is my opinion they bum
gled this matter up and 90 not like
owning up to it.
II even gave him up in Melbourne in
1894. The police examined him. He told
them he was in Melbourne in $780, so
they found this was true, and without
let him go. He laughed and said.
See what fools they are. l am. the
real man they are searching the earth
for but they take me in one door and
let me out Of the ctheri' I even gave
enc detective letter of his. but he only
laughed at me. 1 asked him to have
the writing compared with that at
home signed Jack the Ripper but he
did nothing. Now L have burned his
letters long since"
She Would Get Him Yet.
The writer goes on to give Doctor
Winslow the mans name, to say that
he still is called Jack by his relatives
time he is in South Africa. She sug-
gests means of getting into communi-
cation with him in order to obtain a
specimen of his handwriting again.
The writer then mentions tlrat Jack
often used to attend st. Paul's in Mel
bourne-a fact which Doctor Wirslow
notes as singular because he was also
fond of attending St. Paurs in London
and tnat he always carried an ugly
sheath, knife in-his belt. s-s1
Doctor Winslew, commenting on the
letter, said that he knew Jack the
Ripper" had eft England and that he
had neither been captured nor had
committed suicide. He intends to fol-
low up the present crew and If Scot
land Yard desires any information he
will place at their disposal at once ev
cry fact and name of which he is in
possession.
