From The London Standard, Sept 27, 1881
The lapse of another week since the discovery OF
the tragedy with which the name OF the White
chapel road is associated has been marked by the
production of SO much additional evidence that

leved will be favorable to the innocence of the

name of Percy King in great many business
transactions and when 1t became necessary for his
creditors to find out who Percy King really they
were informed IL "Wanwright's manageri-a
statement which not true. There is no doubt he

i was intimately acquainted with her friends and rela
tives, having come from the same county. When she
first got acquainted with Wainwright her conduct
changed little, but not very much, and although she
always conded her secrets to me, she never dvulged
the true nature of her relations with Wainwright
From the commencement she tried TO induce me to
believe that she was married to him; but never could
and did believe 1t for one moment, although
did not say to her The reason Of my increduty
