DUSSELDORF MURDERS
SLAYER SENDS MAPS TO POLICE POSITION OF THE BODIES United r.A.—Bu Telegraph—Copyright BERLIN, Monday. How the body of the five-year-old daughter of a miner—the latest victim of the mysterious assassin known as “Jack-tlie-Ripper”—came to be discovered near the Zoo at Dusseldorf has now been revealed. The police received through the post two rough maps drawn on a scrap of brown packing paper. The body of the child was found at the precise spot indicated on one. The second map purported to show a spot on a lonely farm on the outskirts of the city, where still another body would be found. There is considerable indignation because the police have not yet acted on that information, owing to the fact that they cannot ascertain whether the municipal authority will pay for the work of digging. If “Jack-tke-Ripper’s” gruesome boast proves true this will bring the total of his murders to 10 out of 21 victims all told. The police believe the maps sent to them are the work of the murderer himself. Special detectives, some of whom are attired as women, are constantly in the streets of Dusseldorf. All the lonely lanes are being patrolled.
