CHARGE OF CASE
Police Give Parents House to
House Caution to Keep Chill
dren from Streets.

without definite leads pointing to the
solution of the ripper murders, the
police were massng their efforts yes
terday in preventing another murder
al the hands of the fiend. Commissioner
Woods continued to draw policemen
from duty in precincts throughout the
city to swell the number doing plain
clothes service with the Detective
Bureau or in the precincts covering the
district where Charlie Murray and
Leonore Cohn were killed.
1--WE can't keep men in every dark
hallway, but we can warn all parents
in the city to keep close watch on
their children Inspector Faurot said.
That was about the only hint given
as to the specific line of action being
followed. To bring the matter more
directly home to the mothers, some of
the men in plainclothes were sent from
house to house with the warning.
Others were kept moving about the
streets, alert to the actions of every
one, watching every face that passed
them, sometimes following for blocks
men whose manner aroused their sus-
picion.
listen for thc frightened cries of chill
dren, in case they might hear a shrek
of terror at a murderous attack in time
both to save the victim and catch the
ripper As an added spur TO the police
in their work Commissioner Woods
issued an order to all captains to notify
their men that honorable mention
awaited any member Of the force who
caught the ripper
Faurot in Command.
An important shift in police man
agement was in the detaching for the
time being by Commissioner Woods of
Inspector Faurot from his job as head
of the Detective Bureau, and assign
ing him to the Second branch to take
charge exclusively of the ripper mys-
terry.
This left Inspector Cray, who. it has
been rumored, was scheduled to sup
plant Faurot as detective head, in
charge Of all other work of the bureau
Deputy Commissioner Lord said that
the only reason for this arrangement
was that Faurot could devote his en-
tire time and energies to solving the
ripper murders.
Letters purporting to come from the
ripper continued to reach the Murrays.
One struck the bereaved mother pros
trate again as she read it, for it said !:
Your little girl will be killed in a
few days il you do not call off the
police. | remain. Yours.
JACK THE RIPPER"
Unlike the others, it was typewrit-
ten. 1t was in manila envelope and
mailed at Station D, Fourth Avenue
and Twenty-third Street, at 2:30. II
was subjected to examination for
finger prints, as all the others have
been, but, in keeping with their return
to the old-fashioned policy of secrecy
adopted for this case, the police re-
fused all information as to their find
ings.
More Death Threats.
Two other letters were received by
Mrs. Murray in the morning. One said,
81 am the man who killed your boy.
The police are a lot of boobs. | am
going to do it again. A. Rich" The
other read, 81 will do the same thing
over again on Monday in the location
of Fiftieth and Fifty-fourth Streets,
between Fifth and Eleventh Avenues"
A newspaper picture of the murdered
boy was Enclosed.
