THE BRADFORD MURDER. VICTIM PROVES TO BE A GIRL. THE BODY HORRIBLY MUTILATED. London, December 30.
The victim of the Bradford murder turns out to be a girl, eight years old. Her legs and arms were roughly chopped off, and tied to the body ; the ears were cut off, and there were two stabs on the body. The heart and intestines were torn out. The remains were wrapped in rough coverings. In some other respects the murder resembles the Whitechapel tragedies. The first theory was that the crime had been committed by some drunken lads, inflamed by reading the accounts of the London horrors ; but a milkman, named Barrett, has been arrested, against whom strong suspicion exists. A blood-stained sack and knife (which accurately fitted the wounds on the body) were found in his lodgings.
