Jack the Ripper's Work

A Woman Murdered and Horribly Mutilated in London

London, June 3.
A parcel containing the lower portion of a woman's body cut in half was found in the Thames at Narsley Down this morning. Another parcel in which were a woman's thighs was picked up at Battersea. Both were wrapped in pieces of a woman's drawers, on which the name Gasher was marked. The trunk and thighs evidently belonged to the same body, which was of a well developed person. The remains had probably been in the water ten days. It is feared that Jack the Ripper has again been at work.
