Show -..A "JACK THE RIPPER" SCARE,'; i .. 1 he Terribly Mutilated Body ot Another " Woman Found In London. London, Oct. 25. The "Jack the : Ripper" scare is on again. Last night, in a secluded part of Southampstead locality, there was found the dead body of a woman whose head bad been nearly severed, while the body showed hacks and bruises sufficient to cause death. The victim was a woman of low repute and this was sufficient to start the cry, "Jack the Ripper." The body of the woman, however, shows that the crime bears no resemblance resemb-lance to those committed by "Jack the Ripper." A medical examination proves that the woman did not belong to the Whitechapel class. The body was that of a woman about thirty years of age and well clad. The throat was cut and the skull fractured. All her pockets were empty. A perambulator peram-bulator containing a "bloodstained fur rug was found near by and it is suppos- ed was used to convey the body from the spot where the crime was commit-ed commit-ed to where it was found. The body has been identified as that of Mrs. Hobbs, wife of a porter. Mrs. Hobbs left her husband yesterday, taking her child, whom she carried in a perambulator, found near the place where the body was discovered. The whereabouts of the child is a mystery. |
