"Jack the Rippar"

(Per R.M.S. Zeaiandia.)

A despatch from London, September 10th: says that Jack the Ripper is making good his threats. (Shortly after 5 o'clock a.m. the police found the body of a public woman under the railway arch of Cable-street, in the Whitechapel district. Tiie re n»aius showed the usual fiendish work of Jack the Ripper. The head and arms had been cut off and carried away, the stomach ripped open, and the intestines were lying on the ground. The usual police precautions were taken but without discovery. The region is so carefully guarded that policemen pass the spot every fifteen minutes. The physicians who examined the body state that the murder and mutilation must have occurred nearly an hour. It is surmised that the murderer carried off the head and arms in a bag. Tbe crime was committed 200 yds from the spot in Berners-lane where Elizabeth Stribe was similarly murdered on September 3Jth, 1888. There is no clue to the murderer.

Another account says the body of the present victim was found at Back-church-lane, the extreme south end of Whitechapel. The arms had been skilfully amputated and the body completely disembowelled. No blood was found either on the ground or on the body, which shows that the crime was committed at some other place aud the body afterward carried where found. Three sailors sleeping under

an arch were arrested, but were discharged, as there was no evidence against them. The woman wa* a etreet- walker about 3) years of age, and evidently a hard drinker. Her name was said to be Lydia Hart. A story was set afloat that the dismembered corpse was not Jack the Ripper's work, but tkat some medical students had conveyed it to the place where it was discovered from a surgical amphitheatre in the neighbourhood as a ghastly, joke. . This, however, did not .obtain credence. A letter signed/y#fack the Ripper" was received ..-t-aJVcal news agency in Lou don. on September 17tn, threatening another Whitechapel murder in about a week from that date. Lawson Tait, the eminent gynecologist, in an interview on the 20th September, said he was of opinion that the Whitechapel and Eattersea murders were coin* initted by the came criminal, who is probably a lunatic employed in some slaughterhouse, and subject to fits of epileptic furor.
