Not Charged to Jack the Ripper
London, Dec. 24.
The scene of the latest East End murder is two miles further east than
that of the tragedies known as the Whitechapel murders, and the killing is
not now believed to have been the work of the perpetrator of the previous
crime. The strangling was done with surprising skill, but the cord with
which it was done was not found on the body on its arrival at the hospital
as previously reported, thus weakening the certainty that the method
surmised was really employed.
