A FRIEND FOR SADLER.
The London Star Will See He Has Fair Play.
London, Feb. 20 – Sadler, the alleged murderer of Carroty Nell, has written a letter to the London Star claiming to be innocent and that the Police, determined to fasten on someone as a scapegoat for the Whitechapel tragedies, have apparently selected him and persistently ignore all facts tending to show his innocence.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The London police authorities claim to have the notorious murderer, "Jack the Ripper," in safe custody, confined in the lunatic asylum at Dartmoor, in which he was incarcerated a few weeks after the last Whitechapel murder. If this is true, the cause of the sudden cessation of the East-end horrors is fully explained.
