Thirteenth Victim is Claimed
By Atlanta @Jack-the-Ripper"
HE Murders One Every Week
Strange Series Of Crimes Completely Battles Army Of Detectives
People in State of Terror

detailed by Acting Chief Starnes,
were quickly on hand. Chief Bea-
vers also later visited the scene.
When the remains were removed
from Che embankment they were
still warm, indicating that the MUIR
der had been committed but a short
time before. The murderer had
carefully placed the woman's heart
by her side before covering the
remains.
Dogs Lose the Trail.
The police at once obtained County
Policeman Shockley's bloodhounds
and took them to the grave in the
embankment. The dogs quickly
struck a scent and trailed it a dis
lance Of 200 yards to the Stewart
avenue trolley line. There the trail
was lost. This fact convinces the
police that the murderer boarded an
incoming Stewart avenue car, prob
ably the first car on the morning
run. This is the only clew to the
murderer so far unearthed.
News that Jack the Ripper had
claimed another victim spread like
wild fire in that section and created
intense excitement among the ne
groes. It was but a short time until
an excited crowd of curious specta-
tors were on the scene.
His Twelfth Victim.
The twelfth victim was found a
week ago in the lowlands just off
Conally street, and but a short dis
lance south of Georgia avenue. This
woman's throat was cut from ear
to ear, her head was crushed in and
the index finger on her right hand
was severed at the middle joint.
That crime was similar to several
OF the others, in that the victim s
shoes were removed and carried
away. In the murder of Tuesday
morning the woman's shoes were not
molested.
Several theories are advanced by
the police as to the fiendish murder
er, but the prevailing opinion is
that he is a fanatic of some kind,
or the agent of some organized So
ciety. The police believe that if
he is ever captured he will prove to
be criminal far above the average
in ferocity and will be an interesting
study.
Il am satisfied this murderer is a
fanatic, melted to murder through
some weird belief" is the theory of
Captain Mayo, expressed just after
he had viewed the mutilated remains
of the latest victim Tuesday morning
Captain Poole, of the day watch
who went on duty at o'clock, had
a conference with Captain Mayo and
Chief Beavers and is aiding in the
Investigation.
The murder was committed in an
isolated section the nearest house
being 500 yards away.

Thirteen negro women have been
slain in Atlanta, Ca, in the last
several months by some unknown
"Jack, the Ripper the murderer
avenging a victim week. In each
case the bodies have been found hor-
ribly mutilated, the fend using some
sharp instrument, presumably raz-
or. While these crimes have been
committed with startling regularity,
the murderer almost invariably
choosing Saturday as the day for
his deeds, and while the entire pop
ulation of Atlanta has been kept in
a state bordering on terror, the po-
lice so far have been unable to find
a single definite clue that would
lead to the capture of the ripper"
The following account of the thir-
teenth murder is taken from the
Atlanta Georgian:
Her throat cut from ear to ear,
her heart cut out and lying by her
side, and otherwise terribly mutilat-
ed, the remains of an unknown ne
gro woman were found Tuesday
morning buried in the side of an en-
bankment on the West Point belt
line, 100 yards to the right of Stew
art avenue-The thirteenth victim
of the mysterious and elusive Jack
The Ripper-the second within a
week.
This latest victim was more horri-
bly, mutilated than any of the others
in the ripper's long list of unsolved
and bloody crimes. Not only did
the murderer cut the woman's head
almost off and remove her heart,
but he knocked out her teeth and
disemboWeled her. This was done
with two long slashes with his knife
Or razor. One cash extended down.
ward, the full length of the trunk,
from the throat down over the abdo-
men. The other cash extended
across the abdomen, from side to
side-the two gashes being at right
angles.
Completing his fiendish act, the
murderer dragged the remains down
the embankment, about midway,
where he dumped them into a gully
and buried them. First covering
the remains with several old flour
sacks, he then pulled soft earth into
the gulley with his hands.
Children Make Discovery.
The murder was discovered by
two negro children, who, while pick
ing up coal along the railroad en-
bankment, found the murdered wo-
mans comb and a trail of blood.
Running to their home, the children
Informed their mother of their find,
and she at once visited the scene, dis

police were then Immediately mott

CLEMSONS REVENUE PROMISES
TO REACH $500, 900 THIS YEAR

1t is estimated that Clemson
college will receive this year
approximately $500, 600 from the
fertilizer tag tax. The amount
received by the institution last
year was nearly $3.50, 900. 1t is
thought that at least 1000, 600
tons of fertilizers will be sold to
the farmers of the State during
1911.
There has been much discus
sion as to how the fertilizer eX-
aminations are made. The State
is divided into ID districts. there
being an inspector for each dis
trict. During the fertilizer sea-
son it is 1he duty of these in
spectors to draw samples from
every place where fertilizer is
sold in their districts and to send
these samples to Clemson college
for examination. Under the law
II these samples are found to be
deficient in any manner, refund
must be made by the fertilizer
companies. The samples drawn
by the inspectors are analyZed
by expert chemists. The chemist
only know the samples by num-
Der and do not know the name
OF the company manufacturing
them. as has been charged.

JUDGES MUST BE APPOINTED
ON COURTS RECOMMENDATION

The governor must appoint spe-
clal Judges upon the recommends
ton of the supreme court or the
chief justice. This is the en-
phatlc statement made by Chief
Justice Jones, in an opinion
handed down Saturday involving
a point very similar to that which
has occasioned a breach between
Governor Blease and the supreme
court.
The whole law on the subject
OF appointing special judges.
from the constitutional provisions
to the statute pursuant to those
provisions, is gone into by Chief
Justice Jones.
1t was not the question of ap-
pointing special judges that
loomed up in the opinion, but of
especial moment is the obiter
dlcta of the court on this matter.
The real issue in the James Davis
case, which is the case in which
the decision was handed down,
was whether or not the governor
can order special term of court.
The supreme court rules that the
governor can order special term
OF court, when the solicitor re-
quests it and when public policy
demands such.

The High Price of Mules.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the present season has witnessed
the highest prices ever paid for
mules in this county, the demand
In York county for the long-eared
work animal has been greater
than ever before. 1t now costs
almost as much to buy a pair of
good mules as a small house and
lot. Numerous sales of good
mules for $3.50 have been re-
corded in the county in the past
few weeks, and cottage with
honeysuckle vines thrown in for
good measure is not much more
expensive.
Why are mules so high, any
way"' This is a question that
the public has been asking. One
answer is that the Spanish
American war is responsible. A
heavy draft was made on the
country's mule stock at that time
and since then the supply has not
been equal to the demand.
Just before the Spanish-Ameri-
can war a good mule could be
bought in this section and else
where in the South for $1OO. and
previous to that the price was
sometimes as low as SIS. Nova
days good mule costs from $3.50
to $500 and sometimes $40O.

Fortune-tellers Before Magistrate

Saturday morning a band of
Gypsles composed of three or
four men and an equal number
OF women arrived in Fort Mill
and set up for fortune-telling a
short distance south of town.
Sunday afternoon two of the
women did some more arriving
this time in the court of Mag
istrate McElhaney, upon the
charge of bilking boy out of
rs cents. Upon the complaint
of the boy that he had given one
of the women d dollar for telling
25 cents worth of his fortune and
that she had refused to return
the rs cents which he had ex-
pected to get in change, Magis-
trate McElhaney sent a constable
to the camp to bring the woman
before him. There seemed to be
no way of identifying the woman
the boy claimed had more of his
coin than she was entitled to. so
two of them were arrested and
brought to town. But Magistrate
McElhaney did not waste much
time on the examination. He
concluded that all hands includ-
ing the boy, were lying about the
transaction and allowed the
women to go on their way with
out d fine. The Is cents was
returned to the boy.
