London, Oct. 11.
The Pall Mall Gazette charges that the words "I have murdered four and
will murder sixteen more before I surrender myself to
the police," written by the supposed Whitechapel murderer upon the shutter
of a house adjoining the one in the yard of which
one of his victims was found, were erased by the order of Sir Charles
Warren, chief of police, before the authorities had an
opportunity to photograph them.
