Dr. Francis Tumblety, who is known to the police of all the large cities of America and Europe, and who was under the
surveillance of the Scotland Yard force when the "jack the Ripper" excitement was at its height, was arrested in this city
last night on the charge of being a suspicious character. At the station the doctor was searched and a large number of
valuables were secured from him, amounting in worth to several thousand dollars. In his pockets was a pamphlet containing the
names of a number of prominent men, both of this city and elsewhere, and he also carried a letter from a well-known
congressman. The testimonials were chiefly devoted to elaborate praise of the doctor's character. In the pamphlet the doctor
had an article of print to the charge advanced against him by the London authorities and spoke of his escape unscathed from
the villifying (sic) statements of newspapers.
