Tumblety Eludes The Detectives
New York, Dec 6.
It is now certain that Dr. Thomas F. Tumblety, the notorious Whitechapel suspect, who has been stopping at 79 East Tenth street since last Sunday afternoon, is no longer an inmate of the house. It is not known exactly when the doctor eluded his watchers, but a workman named James Rush, living directly opposite no 79 says that he was a man answering the doctor's well known description standing on the stoop of No 79 early yesterday morning, and he noticed that he showed a great deal of nervousness, glancing over his shoulder constantly. He finally walked to Fourth avenue and took an up town car. Those who know him best think he has left New York for some quiet country town, where he expects to live until the excitement dies down.
