    Chris, Mike
    Maybe you could check out the daily News of Friday, February 20, 1891

    I saw this but haven't time to check the other columns at the moment.

    In another column will be found an account of some
    remarkable private investigaions made in reference
    to the previous Whitechapel murders.

    Hi Chris,

    Do you think it might relate to Bachert, his alleged sighting, and his confrontation with coroner Baxter?

    Yours truly,

    Tom Wescott

    The story featured in the Daily News, Monday, February 16, 1891 regarding the man seen leaving Wolves is interesting.

    regards

  • "A very remarkable private investigation" 1891 - info required

    The short article below is from the North China Herald of 10 April 1891:

    "The Daily News gives an account of a very remarkable private investigation into the Whitechapel murders, by which the murderer might have been discovered, if the police when informed had acted a little more promptly."

    I have searched the Daily News for March and early April of 1891 for any mention of the Whitechapel murders. The only relevant story in that period was the final discharge of Sadler.
    Does anyone know what story this refers to and the date of the Daily News article mentioned?
    Many thanks for any help
