The Ripper Again At Work
The Jack the Ripper scare has again caused a sensation among the London
police and the residents of the South Hampstead
locality. Last night, in a secluded part of the neighborhood, passers by
were shocked by the finding in an obscure alley of
the dead body of a woman whose head had been very nearly severed, while
her body showed evidences of kicks and bruises in
themselves sufficient to cause death. While up to the present time no
knowledge has been obtained as to whom the victim was,
it seems very evident that she was a woman of very low repute and this was
sufficient to start the cry "Jack the Ripper has
been at work again." The police actively began operations in a search for
the murderer.
