THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS
London, July 27.
William Brodie, the man who, while in a state bordering on delirium
tremens, stated that he had committed the murders and mutilations
of women in and about the Whitechapel district, was today
discharged from custody, there being no evidence on which to hold
him and physicians pronouncing him sane. He was immediately
arrested, however, on a charge of fraud.
