While transcribing the Star, 22 Nov. 1888, page 3, I came across the following, which might be of interest to Royal Conspiracy buffs.
Driven Mad by the Murders.
A decent but poorly dressed woman, Louisa Day, was charged at Worship-street, with being of unsound mind. – Constable 499 J said that she said at Bethnal-green station on Wednesday night, that she was in danger of her life from “Jack the Ripper,” that she was related to the Royal Family, and made other curious statements. She was detained as a wandering lunatic. – Prisoner: Well, sir, I did mention the Prince of Wales’s name, but that was all. I said he was my brother. But you know we are all brothers and sisters. (Laughter.) It is true that I am in danger of my life, not, perhaps, from “Jack the Ripper,” but from others who follow me about. I have been lodging in Dorset-street, and was there the other night, when I heard the gang threatening Mr. Charrington’s life. – Mr. Saunders: Have you a husband? – Yes, sir, in the Mile-end Infirmary. My daughter is with the Bishop of Bedford. – Mr. Saunders: The constable shall take you to the workhouse.
Best Wishes
