THE TIMES, London, England, October 24, 1888

* Jack the Ripper
* Whitechapel murders
* Elizabeth Stride

"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. But issues of THE TIMES from London are the most sought after, being primary source reports in this internationally famous title.
Page 3 has over 1 1/2 columns devoted to: "The East-End Murders" with the article beginning: "Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wynne E. Baxter, Coroner for the South-Eastern Division of Middlesex, resumed his adjourned inquiry...respecting the death of Elizabeth Stride, who was found murdered in Bemer Street, St. George's, on the 30th...". Elizabeth Strike is considered the third of the five "canonical victims" of Jack the Ripper, those about whom there is no doubt they were killed by Jack the Ripper. There are an additional 13 "alleged Ripper victims" as well.
The reporting includes lengthy testimony from those who knew her, those who last saw her alive, and where, etc. Tremendous detail on this investigation (see).
Complete in 16 pages, various chipping at the blank margins, generally in nice condition.
