Blindfolded Policeman in Punch

BLINDFOLDED POLICE.
The daily telegraph has resumed its onslaught on Home Secretary Matthews, and other papers are following its example.
All London is roaring with laughter over a cartoon in the last number of Punch, representing a blindfolded policeman seeking criminals while unconsciously dodging between their legs. The cartoon is said to have aroused feelings of the highest indignation in the breast of the Home Secretary, but the feeling is now general that the present Scotland Yard system which he inaugurated with a flourish of trumpets upon taking office will not survive the autumn session of Parliament.
THE WHITECHAPEL MURDER.
The inquest on the body of the woman found murdered in Whitechapel was resumed yesterday. The evidence given by the witnesses confirmed the theory that the murderer is a skilled character. It was shown that the murder was committed in a way that no one but an expert could have done and the theory that the murder was committed by an insane surgeon is revived and finding many believers.
