TWO FAMOUS BLOODHOUNDS
Arrival of the Dogs Used in Hunting "Jack the Ripper"
Not the least interesting passengers on the National steamship
Holland, which arrived in New York from London early today, were
two valuable English bloodhounds, formerly the property of Sir
Charles Warren, the late Chief of the London Police. These two
animals were used sometime ago by Sir Charles in an effort to trace
the where abouts of the Whitechapel fiend, "Jack the Ripper." The
dogs were purchased for John I Winchell, of Fair Haven, Vt. They
are valued at $1,000 each. They are of a black and tan color and
about the height of a mastiff, with smooth glistening coats and
long heads and ears.
As both the National Line piers are at present in use the Holland
will lay out in the stream opposite Fifty-ninth street, North
River, until Sunday. The animals will probably be taken off the
ship tonight and placed on exhibition for a day or two.
