London, Sept. 11.—Although the murder discovered here in the Whitechapel district is generally spoken of as the work of the mysterious Jack the Ripper, a close examination of all the f cts leads to the conclusion that this murder is not of the Ripper series. The police and the medical men familiar with the details of the recent London horrors of this class say that this last murder must be classified with those known as the embankment murders, of which there have now bccu four in all, including the one in which the headless boAy of the victim was recently discovered in Chelsea, and of which the head has never been found. Although there is a general resemblance between the horrible work of the two murderers, both taking special pains to mutilate their victims and to carry off portions of the bodies, each carries off a different portion.

Both attempted to cross the river, but one of them being unable to swim, was caught floundering in the deep water and quickly hurried to the jail. His companion gained the opposite shore and at once disappeared in the high weeds. The crowd closed in and called upon him to surrender, but the villain raised his revolver to shoot the man nearest him. Before he oould take aim, Jack Rose, one of the sheriff's assistants, brought his Winchester to his shoulder and fired. The ball took effect in the tramp's left arm and plowed a frightful wound through the flesh, coming ptltl at the elbow.
