"The Seventh Murder in Whitechapel"

Item

Title
"The Seventh Murder in Whitechapel"
Alternative Title
"Body of Mary Jane Kelly (Whitechapel Jack the Ripper victim) is discovered, Nov 1888" (title attributed to Newpapers.com)
Description
This article clipping from "The Pall Mall Gazette", a radical British newspaper, describes the life, murder, and investigation of Mary Jane Kelly (the "last victim" of the Ripper's "canonical five"). The article both reports the horrific details of her crime scene and attempts to illustrate the harsh quality of life experienced by Kelly and others around her in the Whitechapel district of London. It ends with some consideration of possible trends in the murderer's behavior, as determined by comparisons between Kelly's killing and the other murders previously attributed to the Ripper.
