THE EAST END MURDERS
important arrest.
SIR C. WARREN'S RESIGNATIONS
London No verier 14. It has now been ascertained that the last victim of the Whitechapel tragedies was respectably connected, and was formerly in the service of a gentleman in the West End for some time. She descended lower and lower, till at length she became an outcast, and drifted into the slums of the East End.
The police have made what they consider to be an important arrest. The prisoner is an individual who has all the appearance of a well-dressed man about town, and is believed to be identical with the man who was observed in the neighbourhood of the scenes of the murders immediately preceding the time when the deeds were committed. Received November 16, 1.10 a.m. London, November 14. The Press, commenting on the resignation of Sir Charles Warren, suggests that Mr. Mathews, Home Secretary, should follow suit, in favour of some one more capable of administering the Home Department. The report has been current that Mr. Howard Vincent, member for Sheffield, had been offered the Commissionership of Police, vacant by the resignation of Sir Charles Warren, but the report has been declared to be untrue.
