THE WHITECHAPEL MURDER
The First Accounts Said to Have Been Exaggerated.
London, Sept. 10.
Having just returned from Whitechapel I am able to able to state that the
first accounts of today's murders are greatly
exaggerated. The trunk of a woman's body was found in a sack, the flesh
putrified. It is impossible to say whether this is
another of Jack the Ripper's victims, as the head and legs are missing,
and there are no traces of blood in the railway arch
where the sack was found. There is very little excitement in the district.
