No proof, Neil old mate, but I'd guess there was pretty good circumstantial evidence.
As a barrister, wouldn’t that irk Sir Bob?

Moore's 1896 report went by Swanson
Disappointing to see that he couldn't enlighten us in the marginalia that Moore had been wasting his time.
Not a word, not a hint
Nothing but an incorrect version of the GSGYou can lead a horse to water.....

Aaron Kosminsky can be placed in Whitechapel during the Autumn of Terror, he was suspected by people working on the case, he has a history of violence towards women, and there is an explanation for why he would have stopped after MJK. These factors alone place Aaron Kosminsky in the upper-most tier of named Ripper suspects, possibly by himself.
Was Kosminsky the Ripper? Probably not, it was probably some guy we've never heard of whose name has never been posted on this forum. But it seems gratuitous to claim that there is "no case" against Kosminsky or scoff at speculation that he may be the Seaside Home suspect when there's more of a case against him than against any other individual whose name we know.

Ironically, Moore seems to support Swanson's 1895 recollection of the crimes being the work of a man who was (by then) dead - Pall Mall Gazette, May 7, 1895. Since this recollection was a year after the Macnaghten Memorandum (that mentioned Kosminski) was written, it seems likely that Swanson was referring to Kosminski.
There having been no hard proof of the Ripper's identity, the police were compelled to continue investigating, suspicious characters, received letters, etc., even though they knew it was largely a fruitless effort.

No there is no proof whatsoever. It's all hearsay.
There do not say that, they very clearly say there was an identification, or which they were personally aware.
I suppose it's down to ones definition of hearsay.

Since Aaron Kosminski wasn’t dead in 1895, why would this be a ‘likely’ reference to him?
It sounds more like a reference to MJ Druitt.
