A FRENCH "JACK THE
RIPPER."
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, JULY 26.
An atrocious crime, which recalls the series of "Jack the Ripper" murders in the East-end of London, more than thirty years ago, has been committed at Nancy.
The victim was forty-five years of age, and-as in the case of the London murders-was a prostitute. Her body was found in a bush, horribly mutilated. The criminal left no trace behind him. He is suspected of being the murderer of another prostitute whose body, similarly mutilated, was found in a street in Nancy a few weeks ago.
