The Whitechapel Murders.

It is understood (says tho London correspondent of the Sydnoymorning Herald) that tho police have practically abandoned all hopo of catching . tho.perpetratdr: of the Whitecliapol murders, who, on the assumption , that all these crimes havo been the work of one hand, has been able to commit fburbrutal murders within "a short space of time without' being discovered; 'The only chance that remains of securing the miscreant is that lie may commit another murder and be caught in the act, or elso that liomay,insoinedrunkenoi'unguarded moment, let out the secret. The L medical examination of the remains of tho woman Chapman shows that the murder .must lmyc been the work of someone possessing a certain degree of anatomical knowledge, and the doctors discard botli tho maniac and the slaughterman theories, We are, therefore, left face to face with the awful fact that we have at large in the metropolis an 'educated lieml, afflicted with a devouring thirst fori human blood,- and that the best chance, we have of capturing him lies in his adding to the number of his crimes. Under circumstances like these it is no wonder that White- . chapel should be in a state of panic. Thcmuch dreaded personagekiiown as "Leather Apron" app°arcd as a witness at the inquest of Sarah Chapman, the fourth victim of the Loudon murders. He proved to be a Jew named Piser, and really a harmless sort of man after all. When the uproar arose about him, he went away and stayed with his stepmother brother and sister, stating he would have boeu torn to pieces if he had stayed iu the district. His account *' of himself was perfectly straightfor- . • ward, and the Coroner explained that his statements had been corroborated. Upon this the foroman of the jury observed that lie and his fellow jurymen considered that the witness vbad cleared himself, and Piser, evidently ■, well ploascd, returned his thanks, and bowed all round.
