THE TIMES, London, Oct. 30, 1888
* re. Jack the Ripper
* re. Whitechapel murders
"Jack the Ripper" reports were common in the latter half of 1888, capturing the interest of people on both sides of the Atlantic as evidenced by the reports in many newspapers in the United States. It was the international "sensation" of the era, and a case which was never conclusively solved. Not surprisingly, issues of the respected "Times" newspaper from London are the most sought after, being the primary source for Jack the Ripper reports.
Page 6 has a brief report headed: "Funds For Whitechapel" which has an oblique reference at best to the Jack the Ripper situation, focused primarily on possible confusion of contributions to a fund for the care of those in Whitechapel, the section of London where the murders have been happening (see photos).
Complete in 16 pages, in uncommonly nice, clean condition.
