The short piece below is from the Daily North Western of 30 April 1891 and intrigued me - anyone know anything more of this story?

Chris,
I shall have to begin "cutting and pasting" a standard response" Very interesting discovery Chris Scott". And it is.
This story, doubtless in its London newspaper original, might have prompted the talk about JTR being dead.
Which then led to the un-named West of England MP voicing his JTR suicide theory.
