tion Of the murderer agrees in every par
ticular with that already furnished by

ION Thursday had been to Romford
and | returned from there about 2
o'clock on Friday morning, having
walked ali tue way. l came down
White Chapel road to Commercial street.
As passed Thrawl street passed
man standing at the corner of the street,
aud as went toward Flower and Dean
streets l met the woman Kelly, whom
knew very well, having been in her
company number of times. She said:
Mr.. Hutchinson, can you lend me six
pencep said: i cannot, as / am spent
out, going down to Romford.' She then
walked on toward Thrawl street, saying:
II must 60 and look for some money"
The man who was standing at the corner
Of Thrawl street then came toward her,
put his hand on her shoulder aud said
something to her which did not hear.
They both burst out laughing. He put
his hand again on her shoulder, and
they both walked slowly toward me,
walked on to the corner of Fashion
street, near the public house. AS they
came by me his arm was still on her
shoulder. He had soft felt hat on and
this was drawn down somewhat over his
eyes. put down my head to look him
in the face, and he turned and looked at
me very sternly.
"They walked across the road to Dorset
street. l followed them across and
stood at the corner OF Dorset street.
They stood at the corner of Miller's court
for about three minutes. Kelly spoke to
the man in loud voice, sayingi i have

red handkerchief out of his pocket and
