"The Whitechapel Murders"
London, Oct.4.-- The British Medical Journal, referring to the
Whitechapel murders, says: "The Coroner's theory that the assassin's work was
carried out under the impulse of a pseudo-scientific mania has been exploded
by the first attempt at serious investigation. It is true that a foreign
physician inquired a year ago as to the possibility of securing certain parts
of the body for the purpose of scientific investigation, but no large sum was
offered, and the physician in question is of the highest respectability and
came exceedingly well accredited."
