RIppcr NIurdcrs In Atlnntn.

Atlantic, Ga. July 12.-With the en-
tire quarter in state abject terror,
and it's inhabitants utterly refusing
to venture on the streets at night, as
the result Of eight ripper murders
as many weeks, the police today
adopted q new theory to solve the
crime. Heretofore they have been
searching for gigantic black negro,
with great powerful arms and hands
and a monkey face"
The police now think the ripper
may be II white degenerate who dis
gulses himself as a negro. In this
way, they say he might accomplish
his bloody crimes and by utilizing a
nearby hiding place to remove his
disguise ana hoodwinS the police.
The murders have been OF similar
character to those that terrorized
the Whltechapel district Of London
some years ago. with one exception
Saturday night has been the time of
the crime. A negro. walking a de-
serted street, hears low toned growl
Huge hands grasp her throaat. There
Is a flash Of steel, gurgle and she
drops to the sidewalk with her head
almost severed from her body. The
body is then dragged to nearby
hiding place and mutilated.
