THE LONDON MURDERS.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—COFYRIGHT). London*, October 28. At the inquest on the last victim of the London murderers, Dr. Baxter gave it as his opinion that there is every reason to believe the murders were committed for the purpose of obtaining specimens of a portion of the human body. They were the work not of a lunatic, but of a medical student who was a surgeon, for the body was cut up in a way that showed the assasain knew exactly where to find the organ he wanted. No meaningless cuts were observable, and this applied not to one, but to all of the victims.
