"Something About Dr. Tumblety"
San Francisco, Nov.22.-- Chief of Police Crowly has lately been in
correspondence with officials of Scotland Yard, London, regarding Dr.
Tumblety, who is at present under arrest on suspicion of being implicated in
the Whitechapel murders. The Chief, in pursuing his investigations,
discovered that the doctor still had quite a balance in the Hibernia Bank,
which he left there when he disappeared from this city, and which has never
been drawn upon. Mr. Smythe of that institution says that he first met the
doctor in Toronto, where he was practicing medicine in July, 1858. He next
met him in this city, at the Occidental Hotel, in March or April, 1870.
Tumblety rented an office at 20 Montgomery-street, where he remained until
September, 1870, and then disappeared as suddenly as he came. In 1871 the
doctor turned up in New-York. On Oct. 29 Chief Crowley sent a dispatch to the
London detectives, informing them that he could furnish specimens of
Tumblety's handwriting, and to-day he recieved an answer to send the papers
at once.
