"The Whitechapel Murder: The Inquest and Verdict"

This article clipping from "The Standard" reports the events of the inquest into Ripper victim Mary Jane Kelly's murder in November 1888. It recounts updates on the London Metropolitan Police's progress in the case, as well as testimony from the coroner and witnesses (many of whom were neighbors of Kelly's at Miller's Court). Testimony from Ripper suspect Joseph Barnett was included in this inquest as well, helping to bring about a final verdict that the body at Miller's Court did in fact belong to Kelly.
