In England He Was Suspeted of Being "Jack the Ripper."
Dr. Twombley, the American doctor who in England was suspected of being "Jack the Ripper," the Whitechapel murderer, says to-day's Evening Sun, has turned up in Brooklyn under the alias of common, every day Smith. He first appeared in Brooklyn some ten days ago at the boarding house of Mrs. Helen Lamb, at 204 Washington street. There he engaged rooms and took his meals. Apparently he did not work, and informed the landlady that he was an ordinary citizen with plenty of money which he had made years ago from a patent medicine. One of the boarders at the house is said to have found Twombley out in this way: A young man yesterday called at the house while that rain storm was in progress. The bell was answered by one of the boarder[s] who was just going out. The young man asked for Dr. Twombley. The gentleman replied that there was no one of [t]hat name in the house. The young man was about to leave when the gentleman we had known as Smith arrived. The young man greeted Smith with a cordial "Howd'y do, Dr. Twombley?" Then the two men held a hasty, whispered conversation, at the end of which Tumblety, alias Twombley, alias Smith, hastily called on his landlady, paid his bill from a big roll of bills, packed his trunks, had them put on a truck, which the young man had summoned, and drove off into the rain, disappearing as silently and as mysteriously as he had appeared.
