Kate Marshall murder
Casebook Message Boards: Beyond Whitechapel - Other Crimes: Kate Marshall murder

Saturday, 01 February 2003 - 04:38 pm |        | Hi all
I have done a search on the Casebook for info about Kate Marshall and cannot find find anything and am wondering if someone can help. In my researches I have found a newspaper article entitled "CID Man retires" which notes the retirement of Inspector Stephen White. The article is from the News of the World and is dated 14 October 1900.
Towards the end of the article, there are listed various cases in which White was involved and in among these it says:
"Kate Marshall, who killed her sister in Dorset-street, in the very house where the last Ripper murder was committed."
This of course grabbed my interest!
I can post the whole article if anyone wants to read it and info about the Kate Marshall case would be gratefully received.
Regards
Chris Scott |

From News of the World dated 14 October 1900
C.I.D. MAN RETIRES
Inspector Stephen White, of the Criminal Investigation Department, retired from the Service on Friday. He joined the force 26 years ago, and was first stationed in the D Division, at Kennington. His abilities were soon recognised, and he became a member of the old detective force. Among a few of the important captures made by Mr. White were those of the dynamitards, Cunningham and Burton, at the Tower of London, at the time of the explosion there, for which services he was rewarded and commended by the Home Office. In 1879 he discovered a Fenian arsenal in the New Cut, Lambeth, and captured the proprietor who received a long term of penal servitude. He has had, perhaps, a greater experience of murders than any other officer in the department, being engaged in the whole of the "Jack the Ripper" crimes in the East-End. He was also connected with the notorious cases of Harry Alt, who murdered a German baker in Turner-street; Sullivan, the St. George's murderer; Cronin, the Limehouse assassin; Ronan, who committed murder in Angel Court, Whitechapel; Seaman, who killed an aged Jew and his housekeeper in Turner-street; Karaczewski, the Pole, who shot a man and woman dead in Brick-lane; Kate Marshall, who killed her sister in Dorset-street, in the very house where the last Ripper murder was committed. Keepers of private stills, which, at one time, were very common in the district, had good reason to fear Mr. White, his record of the last year alone being 16 prosecutions. |
