BERLIN OUTRAGES.
"JACK THE RIPPER."
THIRTY-ONE CRIMES , REPORTED.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Received February 18, 11.25 p.m. BERLIN, February 18. There is great excitement in Berlin over the "Jack the Ripper" stabbing cases.
Fresh outrages occur daily, notwithstanding the fact that an army of detectives is patrolling the city. Thirty-one crimes have now been reported. The most serious cases brought under the notice of the police were the stabbing of a merchant's wife, the wounding of a seamstress, and aho a maid servant.
There appears to be quite a recrudescence of crime of this class just of late. The authorities are taking extraordinary precautions in regard to the outrages, and to-day a perpetrator was caught in the act of stabbing a person and was promptly arrested.
