They didn't run into each other because Andrews was already in the alley (at the body in fact) by the time Isaac Jacobs left his house heading to McCarthy's.

Isaac Lewis Jacobs said - I live at 12 Newcastle place, and am a boot maker. About ten minutes to 1 this morning I left home to buy some supper in M'Carthy's, in Dorset street. I had occasion to pass Newcastle place into Old Castle street. When I got to Cocoanut place a constable ran up to me; I stopped. He said, "Where have you been?" I replied, "I have been nowhere, I am just going on an errand and have just left my home." The constable then said, "Come with me; there has been a murder committed."
EDIT: I wanted to correct a slight error in a previous post by calling Isaac Jacobs' residence on Newcastle Street. It should be Newcastle Place as stated in this news clip.
