England.

In South Hampstead in London on Friday evening between 7 and 8 o'clock the body of a woman about 30 years old, was found who had apparently been killed. Her head, whose skull was smashed, was nearly separated from the body. The woman, who belonged to the same class as the victims of Jack the Ripper which was the opinion of the people who first saw the corpse, that she was probably attacked from behind. The killer had pulled back her hair which prevents sound by thrusting a deep blade immediately into the neck, which more accurately describes the way in which the other victims of Whitechapel had their throats cut. Of the murderer there is still no trace found.
