The newspapers have ceased to take an excited view of the recent
Whitechapel murders. In commenting upon the failure of the police
to find the murderer they do not blame the police for not
apprehending the criminal, but rather reproach them for arresting
innocent persons, and say that it is another example of Scotland
Yard losing its head. This, they claim, is due to Sir Charles
Warren's military ways and his ignorance of his professional
duties. The police admit that they have not the slightest clew upon
which to work.
