The body of this latest victim was found still allve but unconscious at 4 o'clock yesterday morning in the hall- way of the poor tenement-houre 143 Thompson etreet, a locality comparable to the Whitechapel of London, just a the body of Mary Martin was found three weeks before in the area of a bank note company in lower Aixth avenue by people on their way to religious devo- tons, A Poor Miserable Ouvenst. Alice Walsh belonged to the same class as Mary Martin, as old Shake: peare, as the victims of the remors fiend of Whitechapel. Bhe wan oné of the miserables who fre- quent the dramshops of the West Hous- ton, Thompson and Sullivan street neighborhood. Preyed upon by miserable creatures who infest this locality, pu! sued by the Philistines of New York's lowest strata of society, she was killed by @ man who had been plying her with bootblack, and belonging to one of the twenty families that swarm in the five- story double double-decker tenement hive 143 Thompson atreet, stumbied over her form at the foot of the stair- case leading to the street.

She saw the motionless bundle on the lowest step leaning up against the newel post, an arm thrown over the baluster rail and the head leaning over in the oppo- site direction.

This Is thought to indicate that the woman had been “knocked out" by her escort on the street, and her hat Jostied off. Then she either fled into the hallway at 143 Thompson street, or was dragged unconscious to the foot of the stairs, and there, with his knee pressed hard upon her right thigh— bruines on the body plainly tell—her murderer plunged the knife into her body and gave it the vicious upward slash.

Bomebody hammered at the side door; he went to It, and a woman's voice asked him to open It and give her a drink. He called out to her to go away. He believes that he recognized Alice Walsh's voice. At about the same time Patrolman Brooks, of the Mercer street station, orderea two women, who were standing on the corner near the saloon, to “move on, ALICE WALSH.

The more the police iook into this murder the more they are convinced that It !s one of the “Ripper sort The nature of the wound, which was in the lower abdomen; the character of tha house where the woman was last ween alive by those who knew her, and the man who Ix supponed to have committed the crime, all lead them to this conclusion, The police have learned that a man named Lavelle was the last lover of the murdered woman. He lived with her at intervals for two years. He is said to be a carpenter and is of very jarge buikl, The police think that he may be "Big Louis.” While the police say that they have not yet found Louis Laveile, he was feen by a reporter thim afternoon at work on a new building in West Fourth street, near Bouth Fifth avenue, He told a connected story of his Wheseubouts yesterday.

While the police believed at first that the woman received her injury in the Street, it w now almost a certainty that the cutting was done in the York- town Hotel, which is just across the street .rom where the woman was found in the hallwa: This hotel is one of the lowest order, jand is patronized almost entirely by women of the street.

When this bill came up to be voted om there was opposition to it because police- men were not given the right of appeal to the courts. The police claimed this denied them their right On the other hand, it was argued thet if the right of appeal was granted there could be no reorganization, because legal evidence warranting discharge could be found against but few officers.
