GERMANY AROUSED
REWARD FOR THE ‘RIPPER’ DEAD OR ALIVE MURDERER’S LETTER TO A NEWSPAPER (Rec. November 15, 7.15 p.m.) . Berlin, November 14. A conference of police chiefs at Dusseldorf rejected the theory that the “Ripper” was a woman. Medical experts confirmed their original belief that the peculiar atrociousness of the murders pointed tp a man. All Germany is now aroused. The Prussian Ministry of the Interior has offered a reward of £SOO for the “Ripper,” alive or dead. With characteristic effrontery the "Ripper" again has sent a letter to a Dusseldorf newspaper: “Farewell, Dusseldorf. You will never get me, but go on digging.” The letter apparently was posted on the Belgo-German frontier. A hat and a handbag found by diggers to-day have been identified as belonging to a servant girl missing since August 11. Another discovery to-day was a piece of paper pinned to a tree near where digging was in progress bearing a great letter P, through which runs a cross and an arrow. The paper is identical with that used in the “Ripper’s” letters.
