ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) London, December 24. Another woman of the unfortunate class lias been murdered in a lonely yard in the neighbourhood of Poplar. The body was not mutilated in the same way as the recent Whitechapel victims, but the body bears the marks of fingers on the neck, leading to the supposition that the murderer attempted to remove the vocal cord, but was disturbed whilst engaged in the work. By some it is believed the murderer is identical with the Whitechapel murderer, but that he is pursuing a new method of killing and mutilating his victims. [The scene of the above murder is a little over a mile eastward of Whitechapel, where the previous murders took place. It is a densely populated neighbourhood,]
