IMPORTANT ARREST
The Central News says the police have made an important arrest in Chingford in connection with the Whitechapel murders. He will be brought up at Leman street. All is quiet of present in the Whitechapel district, and though police precautions remain unrelaxed, the excitement in the public mind is undoubtedly diminished.
LATER - The man arrested at Chingford has been proved to be innocent of complicity in the Whitechapel crimes and released.
