RIPPER’S GHASTLY DEED
GRIM LETTER TO DEAD GIRL'S MOTHER DESCRIPTION OF CRIME Reed. 10 a.m. COLOGNE. Thurs. Frau Wiese, foster-mother of the murdered child. Gertrude Allermann, received two letters from the Dussel:lorf •'Jack the Ripper,” detailing the crime. The handwriting was the same is in the letter which was sent indicating the whereabouts of the girl’s body. The longer letter fully reviewed the details, commencing in verse, and continuing in dramatic dialogue, reporting the murderer’s conversation, the child’s efforts of self-defence, the knife attack, and her death shrieks. The shorter letter is apparently to the child. Frau Wiese attempted suicide on reading the letters. Considerable importance is attached in Dusseldorf to the finding of i bloodstained neckcloth and life preserver in a hut near the well where the body of Gertrude Allermann, a child victim of the killer, was discovered (said a cable message on Monday). The police have strong suspicions about the owner of the neckcloth.
