An Important Arrest
Bridgeport, Conn., April 3.
The police yesterday arrested William Cook on complaint of Emma Walsh. She says that Cook married her in Brooklyn a short time ago, relieved her of $150 and in three weeks deserted her. It is believed that the prisoner knows something about the Whitechapel murders. He was in England at the time these murders were committed and has dropped hints about them which may lead to important discoveries.
