More Murders At The Eastend. In the early hoors of yesterday morning two more horrible murders were committed in the EasS'end of London, the victim in both cases belbuiging, it is be- lieved, to the same unfortunate class. No doubt seems to be entertained by the police thit these terrible crimes were the work of the same fiendish hands which committed the outrages which had already made Whitechapel so painfully notorious. The scenes of the two murders just brought to light are within -a quarter of an hour's walk of each other, the earlier-discovered crime having been committed in a yard in Bersier- street, a low thoroughfare out of the Commercial-road, while the second outrage was perpetrated within the city boundary, in Mitre-square, Aldgate. In the first- mentioned case t'e body was found im a gateway lead- ing to a factory, and altbough the murder, compared with the other, may be regarded as of an almost ordinary character-the unfortunate woman only having her throat cut-little doubt is felt, from the position of the'corpse, that the assassin had intended to mutilate''it. He seems, however, to have been interrupted by the arrival of a cart, which drew up close to the spot, and it is believed to be possible that be may have escaped be- hind this vehicle. Conflicting statements are imade as to the way in which the body was found, but accord- ing to one account a lad first made the discovery and gave information to a man named Costa, who pro- ceeded to the spot, where almost immediately after- wards a constable arrived. The body was then removed to No. 40, Berner-street, which is very near to the now notorious Hanbury-street. Thes.e premises are occupied by the International Workmen's Club. The victim, according to the official details, appears to have been a woman of low character, aged about 35. Her height is 5ft. 5in., and her complexion and hair are dark. She wore a jacket made of black diagonal cloth, feather trimmings, a black skirt, velveteen bodice, crape bonnet, spring-side boots, and white stockings. The murder in the City was committed in circum- stances which show that the assassin, if not suffering from insanity, appears to be free from any fear of inter- ruption while at his dreadful work. Mitre-square is entered from three places-Mitre-street, and passages from Duke-street and St. James's-place-through any of which he might have been interrupted by the arrival either of ordinary pedestrians or the police, although the square is lonely at night-time, being occupied chiefly for business purposes. The constable's beat, moreover, is patrolled in between 15 and 20 minutes, and within this short space of time, apparently, the murderer and his victim must have arrived and the crime been committed. The beat is in the charge of a man who is regarded by his superiors as thuroughly trustworthy, who has discharged his duties efficiently for several years, and who reports that when he went through the square at about half-past 1 he noticed nothiug unusual and no one about. Plain-clothes con- stables also occasionally patrol the square, which is a place of irregular form, about 77ft. by 80ft. On two sides of the square are the warehoases of Messrs. Kearney and Tonge, and adjoining them are two old houses, which exactly face the scene of the murder-the wide pavement opposite, where, it is stated, there was some deficiency of light from the gas-lamp. The square is nocupied by business firms, excepting the two old houses already referred to, one of which, curiously enough, is tenanted by a police-constable, the other being uninhabited. The corner house of Mitre- square and Mitre-street is held by a picture-frame maker, who, however, does not reside on the pre- mises ; and the adjoining three houses in Mitre-street, backing on to the square, are unoccupied. According to the report of Police-constable Watkins, 681, in passing through the square at a quarter to 2 a.m. he found the murdered woman, lying in the south-western corner, with her throat cut and her intestines protruding. He immediately sent Police- constable Holland, 814, for Dr. Sequeira, of Jewry- street, who arrived ten minutes later. Inspec- tor Collard was also communicated with, and tele grams were despatched which at once brought Major Hlenry Smith (the acting Commissioner), Mfr. M'Wil- liam (the Inspector of the City Detective Department), and Superintendent Foster to the spot. Dr. Gordon Brown (the surgeon to the City Police), who had also been informed of the discovery, was also present. The deceased was found lying on her back, with her head inclined to the left side. Her left leg was extended, her right being bent, and both her arms were extended. The throat was terribly cut; tl4re was a large gash across the face from the nose-to the right angle of the cheek, and part of the right ear had been cut off. There were also other indescribable muti- lations. It is stated that some anatomical skill seems to have been displayed in the way in which the lower part of the body was mutilated, but the ghastly work appears to have been done more rapidly and roughly than in the cases of the women Nicholls and Chapman. The body was removed as soon as possible to the mortuary in Golden-lane, where it was examined in the presence of Dr. Brown and Dr. Sequeira. Dr. PhiUips, of Spital-square, the surgeon of the H Division of Metropolitan Police, arrived shortly afterwards, and assisted in the preliminary ex- amination of the body. The woman is described as being about 40 years of age and Sft. in height. She has hazel eyes-tbe right one having been apparently smashed in, and the left one being also injured-and dark auburn bair. She wore a black cloth jacket, with imitation fur collar and three large metal buttons. Her dress is of da'rk green print, the pattern consisting of 'Michaelmas daisies and golden lilies. She also wore a thin white vest, a drab linsey skirt, and a very old dark green alpaca petticoat, white chemise, and brown ribbed stockings, mended at the feet with white material. Her bonnet was black straw, trimmed with black beads and green and blaek velvet. She wore a pair of men's laced-boots ; and a piece of old white coarse apron and a piece of riband were tied loosely round the neck. There were also found upon her a piece of string, a common white handkerchief with a red border, a match box with cotton in it, a white linen pocket containing a white bone handle table knife, very blunt (with no blood on it), two short clay pipes, a red cigarette case with white metal fit- tings, a printed handbill with the name "F rank I Cater, 405, Bethnal-green-road," upon it, a check pocket containing five pieces of soap, a small tin box containing tea and sugar, a portion of a pair of spec- tacles, a three-cornered check handkerchief, and a large white linen pocket containing a small comb, a red mitten, and a ball of worsted. In the Afternoon a post-iortem examination of the body was made by Dr. Brown, assisted by Dr. Sequeira, Dr. Phillips, and Dr. M'Kelar (the chief surgeon of the Metropolitan Police). Dr. Yarrow (H Division Metro- politan Police) and Dr. Sedgwick Saunders were also present at the examination. It may be stated that up to a late hour last night the body had not been identi- fied. Plans and perspective sketches of the scene of the City murder were prepared for the use of the coroner and the police by Mr. F. W. Foster, of Old Jewry. Crowds of persons yesterday visited the localities where the murders were committed. The entrances to Mitre-square were, however, closed by order of the police aathorities, and a large body of constables, under Inspector Izzard, was kept on the spot to pre serve order. Late la.t night thewoman murderedin Berner-street was identified by a sister as Elizabeth Stride, who, it seems, had resided latterly in Flower and Dean-street. A correspondent, when he was shown the body of the deceased, recognized her by the name of Annie Fitz- gerald as having been charged and convicted a great number of times at the Thawes Police-court of drunkenness. Whenever to charged she alwrays denied having been drunk, and gave as An excuse that the suffered from fits. This statement, although not strictly true in connexion with her special visits to the Thames Police-court, was partly correct, for while evidence was being adduced against her she had fallen to the floor of the dock in a Jit and had to be carried from the court to the cell in an insensible condition. When the body was found it presented no marks of a struggle having taken place. Last night, shottly before midnight, a man, wvhosc name has not yet transpired, was atrested in the Borough on suspicion of being the per- petrator of the murders in the East-end. Yesterday morning a tall, dark man weating an American hat entered a lodging-house in Union-street known as Albert-chambers. He stayed there throughout the day, and his peculiar manner drew upon him the attention of his fellow lodgers. Certain observations whieh be made regarding the topic of the day atoused their suspicions, He attracted the notice of the deputy keeper of the lodging-house, whose suspicions became so strong that he sent for a policeman. On the arrival of the officer the stranger was questioned as to his recent wander- ings, but he could give no ;ntelligible account of them, though he said he hWd spent the previous night on Blaektrlars-bridge. He was cenveyed to Stones-end Poliee-statlon, Blackman-stroetiBor6ugh. MA Imlktba fi1t w U si B eet teA Is lixed fo0 to- -day at 11 a.m., at the Vestry-hall, Cable-street, St. George's. The Whitechapel Vigilance Committee have addressed to the Queen a petition praying that, in the interests of the public at large, Her Majesty will direct an immediate -offer of a large reward for tho capture of the murderer. At 3 o?clock yestcrday afternoon A mneeting of nearly 1,000-persons took place in Victoria Park, under the chairmanship of hMr. Edward Barrow, of the Bethnal- green-road. After several tipeeches upon the conduct of the Home Secretary and Sir Charles WYarron, a resolu- tion was unanimously passed that it was high time both officers should resign and mako way for some officers who would leave no stone unturned for the purpose of bringing the murderers to justice, instead of allowving them to run riot in a civilized city like London. On Mile-end-waste during tho day four meetings of the same kind were beld and similar resolutions passed. i MORE MURDERS AT THE EAST- I - ~END.I
