Hello all,
I just re-read this article from the Star on November 10th, obviously alluding to the character we refer to as Leather Apron. I noticed the man dressed well and carried a large stick. Does anyone recall Pizer being referred to as someone who dressed well or was associated with carry such a thing?
Notice that there is no mention of the man wearing a leather apron.
Thanks in advance.

".....They were positive the recent crimes have been the work of one man, who, by the descriptions given and anecdotes related, appears to be a street bully of a somewhat superior type. One woman named Jenny stated to Dr. Saunders that if she were well enough to get about she would soon find and identify the man who she is certain is the murderer. He frequently maltreated the women of the streets, and extorted money from them under threats of "ripping them up." They had sometimes appealed to the police, with the only result of a terrible beating from the scoundrel the very next night. Jenny said every woman in the ward would be able to pick the man out of a thousand. She described him as a foreigner about 40 years of age. She believed he had been a doctor. He dressed fairly well and generally carried a big heavy stick. The police have received more than one statement of this character from women of the street."
