New York, April 25.
The deputy coroner has concluded an autopsy on the remains of the woman murdered by Jack the Ripper this afternoon. The only fact of importance was a disclosure that the mutilations were evidntly made while the woman still lived, and it was apparent that the struggle of the poor wretch prevented the butcher from fully completing what he originally intended, the removal of certain organs. Inspector Byrnes tonight made a statement to reporters to the effect that while the police have not yet arrested the murderer, they know who he is and hope to have him in custody before long. The murderer is a cousin of "Frenchy" or Francois Algernon, who was arrested last night. It is known that Frenchy spent Wednesday night with the murdered woman and stayed at the hotel on the night his cousin perpetrated the horrible crime.
