London, July 20.
A fine looking Englishman, six feet in height, and of fair complexion, was arrested by the police yesterday on suspicion of
being the murderer of the woman whose mutilated remains were found in Castle alley on Tuesday night. When brought to the
police station he confessed that he had murdered the women with an ordinary knife. He was searched, but no weapon was found
upon him. He said he had just returned from abroad. His demeanor indicates that he is insane.
The prisoner's identity is as yet concealed. He has confessed to having committed all the horrible Whitechapel murders, and relates the ghastly details of the various crimes with names, dates and all the particulars of each with great accuracy. The police are in doubt concerning the man. They believe that he is a lunatic and yet that he may possibly be the murderer.
