Testimony on one of Jack the Ripper's victims...

Item # 707382

October 05, 1888

THE TIMES, London, Oct. 5, 1888 "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 4 has an uncommonly lengthy & detailed article headed: "The East End Murders" which takes 2 1/2 columns reporting on the inquest of Catherine Eddowes who was the fourth of the five "generally accepted" victims of Jack the Ripper. Others are alleged Ripper victims but they lack a conclusive link. This lengthy text gives the testimony of various people (see for the beginning). This report is much more detailed than most in this title.
Complete in 12 pages, very nice condition.
