FIENDISH CRIME
THE “RIPPER” SENSATION
LONDON. Jan. 24
The victim of Jaek-the-Ripper has been identified as a domestic servant named Louise Maud Steele. She was eighteen years of age. LONDON, Jan. 25.
Sir Bernard Spilsbury (the famous patheologist) in his examination, reveals that the Blackheath murder was one of the most fiendish, ones in the annals of crime. The victim was strangeld with a narrow band, which was part of her dress, and was maltreated in a shocking manner, not with a, knife, but possibly with a broken bottle. A man’s teeth marks were found on the body.
Sir B. Spilsbury puts the time of the murder at a later hour than it had been thought to have been committed by Scotland Yard, which now believes that the girl was attacked on Blackheath, where her body was found, and that the body was not brought there in a motor-car. There would be few people about, ,1s it was dark and was raining fairly heavy.
More than fifty special Scotland Yard men are engaged on the case.
