THE WHITECHAPEL MURDER
The man John Fitzgerald, who was arrested at Wandsworth, and who has been
detained at the Leman-street police-station on his own confession of having
murdered Annie Chapman, in Hanbury-street, on the 8th inst., has been
liberated, exhaustive inquiries having proved his statement to be entirely
unfounded. Since Fitzgerald's release yesterday, nothing further has
transpired in connection with the recent tragedies.
