A "JACK THE RIPPER" SUSPECT DEAD.
The death has just occurred in the East-End of London of Julius Lipman,
nicknamed "Leather Apron," a cobbler, who in 1889 fell under suspicion of
being "Jack the Ripper." He satisfied the police of his innocence, but the
stigma never left him. His business gradually disappeared, and he went to
another neighbourhood, where he took to drink. He died of neglect and
semi-starvation.
