There's really not enough data to be sure this means anything, but I have discovered a rough correlation.

The earliest murder times (12:45 and 1:30) happened on a Saturday/Sunday night. (Stride, Eddowes)

Murder times were a little later (3:30 and 4:00) on Thursday/Friday nights. (Nichols, Kelly)

The one murder that happened on a Friday/Saturday was the latest of all 6:00, (Chapman)

I have no idea what this means, or if it means anything at all.

It's sometimes occurred to me that the murders of Nichols and Chapman might have been done by someone on his way to work, rather than someone who'd been up all night looking for victims, as usually seems to be assumed. (Saturday would have been a working day for most people in 1888.)
