Young Man of Twenty-Two Confesses to the Brutal Murder of Three Girls In Berlin. er ---- Berlin, Nov. 27.--The mystery of the series of ghastly "ripper" crimes which occurred here at the end of July has at last been solved by the police. The outrages, it will be remembered, were committed in the north-east dis- trict, where five little girls were found in different streets with terrible injur: jes inflicted on their bodies, apparent- Jy by some sharp instrument.

St. John, N.B., Nov. 27.--George Fairweather, aged thirteen, cut his throat with a razor in his grand- mother's house, in Broad street, and is in a serious condition in "the gen- eral public hospital. Last week a boy was caught taking coal from an Inter colonial railroad car, and he gave his name as George . Fairweather, of Broad street. Monday night Police man McNamee called to order the boy to attend court. Fairweather told the Paligdnan he had stolen no coal, but some other boy must have used his name. He was alone in the house, and when his grandmother returned, an hour later, she found him on the kitchen floor, his oat cut and a razor beside him. Dr. J. Bentley worked with him for some hours. He found the windpipe severed, and in- serted a tube, and after closing wound sent the boy to the hospital.
