THE TIMES, London, Oct. 13, 1888
* Jack the Ripper original reporting
* Whitechapel murders - England
* Best title to have in
"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 7 has an article headed: "Whitechapel" which was the London district where the Jack the Ripper murders occurred. The article takes over half a column and discusses the problem with prostitution and vice in that section of the city. This is followed by: "Bloodhounds as Detectives" which discusses the use of dogs to track murderers: "...to whether the splendid animals in question would be likely to track to his hiding place a murdered who committed a crime similar in character to those which have lately horrified the whole country..." with more (see).
Page 6 has: "The East-End Murders" concerns suspicions against two people,a beginning: "The man arrested at Belfast on Thursday night on suspicion of being concerned in the East-end murders still remains in custody pending the result of investigations..." (see).
Complete in 16 pages, archival mends at the horizontal fold of each leaf causing no loss of readability, otherwise in very nice condition.
