"Watching Dr. Tumblety"
"Dr." Francis Tumblety, who left his bondsmen in London in the lurch,
arrived by La Bretagne of the Transatlantic Line Sunday. Chief Inspector
Byrnes had no charge whatever against him, but he had him followed so as to
secure his temporary address, and will keep him in view as a matter of
ordinary police precaution. Mr. Byrnes does not believe that he will have to
interfere with Tumblety for anything he may have done in Europe, and laughs
at the suggestion that he was the Whitechapel murderer or his abettor or
accomplice. The man who is supposed to be Tumblety came over on the steamship
as "Frank Townsend," and kept in his stateroom, under the plea of sickness.
