THE "SACK THE RIPPER"  A SENSATIONAL NARRATIVE.  The London Sun on Wednesday farther die, cusses its theory of the Whitechspel murders, and confidently asserts its ability to reveal the identity, full name, and present whereabouts of the inhuman fiend whose revolting deeds shocked not only London, but the United Kingdom some live years ago. Wednesday's contribution to the ghastly narrative contains the following statements —"We: know the Christian and surname of Jack the Ripper. We know hie present habitation. Our representatives have seen him, and we have in our possession a mast of declarations, documents, and other proofs which prove his identity. We have even •fueeinide of the knife with which the murders were committed purchased at the same place. We are able to trace the whole career of the man who committed these crimes. We can give the names of his employees, their places of business, the term of his services there, and the incidents of hie connection with them —incidents which clearly show that he was in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel at the time when the murders were committed, that he developed tendencies even in his employment of bomicidal insanity, and finally he was at liberty and close to Whitechapel during all that period when the murders were committed; and that these murders immediately came to an end from the moment when he was safely under lock and key. . . .  "But at this moment our readers most be satisfied with less information than is at our dispoeaL ' Jack the Ripper ' has relatives, and we must abstain therefore, from giving his name in the interest of those unfortunate, innocent, and respectable connections. We are the more resolved to do so at this moment, as a pathetic point in this otherwise hideous and awful story is the tenacity with which his relatives have clang to this awful type." The San then describes what it alleges to be his mode of living. His habits of life when he was oat of employment were those one would imagine in noel a creature as 'Jack the Ripper.' He has spent most of the day in bed. It was only when night came that he seemed roused to activity and to Interest in life. Then he need to go out, disappear no one knew whither, and never return till early the following morning. And when he did return his appearance was such as to reveal to any gaze but that of blind affection some idea of the bloody and horrible work in which he had been engaged. His clothes were covered with mad. There were other stains which might suggest the nature of his work, but above all things there was the ex. preesion of his face • Hit face was so distorted as hardly to be r, such is the description which bee b. "The manner .;•-nt a portion of the d p his nocturnal oocrip.it • , Persons who knew , tliut l odways exhibited a strong It, I .r .niatomical study, and that he spent a tiort,,, of the day in making rough drawings of the hod", of women, and of their mutilation, after the fashion of the women murdered in Whitechapel were found to be mutilated." . _ . . .  —ii;--per—sconl appearance is dealt with in the following paregraph  Re i; jest over 33 years of age. Hole a man about Sit. Biu. or Sit. 9in. in height. Be is this and walks with • alight stoop, as if his chest troubled him. His face is narrow end short with a high receding forehead, his eyes large and dark with the expression of a hunted animal in them, his nose thick and prominent, his lips frill and red, and his jaws give sign of much power and determination."
