New York Tribune (USA)
4 December 1888

DR. TUMBLETY ARRIVES IN NEW YORK

DETECTIVES KEEPING AN EYE ON HIM.
HIS ARREST IN LONDON HAS EXCITED
PEOPLE HERE SOMEWHAT.

Doctor Francis Tumblety, or, as he is known in England, Twomblety, is in New York. He was arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the Whitechapel butheries. When the French steamer La Bretagne arrived at her port on Sunday, two of Inspector Byrnes's men were waiting there, and followed the large, dignified-looking man, who was driven by cab the shortest way to Mrs. McNamara's boarding house, No. 79 East Tenth-st.

Inspector Byrnes promptly received reports from his men regarding the new arrival, and ordered his subordinates quietly to keep an eye on the doctor. He has been charged with a fondness for collecting anatomical specimens, and this has made his connection with the Whiechapel atrocities appear probable. It is a fact that after he was discharged for lack of evidence from the accusation of being implicated in the Whitechapel horrors he was re-arrested in London for a violation of the "Maiden Tribute" act, and released under 500 pounds bail. He "jumped" his bail and came to America.

A Tribune reporter called at Mrs. McNamara's house early yesterday afternoon. Mrs. McNamara came to the door and said the doctor had arrived the night before but had gone out. When another call was made, however, she positively declared that Dr. Tumblety had not been there at all for over six months. The neighborhood of Tenth-st. and Fourth-ave. was in a state of excitement all day yesterday. Inspector Byrne's men had been seen about there, and the most startling stories about the horrible London crimes were abroad. It was supposed in the neighborhood that the doctor had left the house, but that the American detectives at least were watching him.
