London, U.K.
24 August 1888
The evidence given by Mary Ann Connolly (Pearly Poll) at the inquest, yesterday, is considered so unsatisfactory that the detectives engaged in the case are making inquiries as to where she spent the two days immediately following the day of the murder. She says she went to her cousin's in Drury-lane, but this has not yet been verified. Her account of how she spent Bank Holiday night will be inquired into, and a strict watch kept upon her, as it is believed that she anticipates committing suicide.
