A LITTLE LIKE
But Not The Work of the Whitechapel Fiend
London, November 21.
This city was startled and shocked this morning by a report that
another unfortunate had fallen a victim to the terrible knife of
the Whitechapel fiend. The report stated that the mysterious woman
slayer had accompanied his victim to a lodging house, cut her
throat and mutilated her person in a manner similar to that of his
previous victims and succeeded in making his escape. The police at
once formed lines surrounding the precinct in which the crime had
been committed. As the report spread crowds of maddened men and
women flocked to the scene.
