London, June 27.
The foul crimes of "Jack the Ripper" are again called to mind with a murder that was
committed at Rotherhithe, a suburb a short distance to the southeast of London. The
victim, a woman belonging to the unfortunate class, was found with her throat cut, the
wound showing that the knife had been used from left to right, as was the case in all the
murders committed by the Ripper in the Whitechapel district of London. The police were
quickly on the scene, having been attracted by the screaming, but the murderer had
effected his escape, leaving not the slighest clue to his identity.
