paper, that murders could possibly in
crease the dividends of gas companies,
notorious Jack the Ripper crimes. 1t
would be no exaggeration to say that
the whole east end of London went IN
fear of death. These CHASTITY murders
were all committed in dark spots like
unlit doorways, and the immediate re-
suit was that people used much moro
gas. The sale of candles and paraffin
oil, too, went up amazingly all over
