That said, you appear to be offering two scenario's, that Abberline had available to him the statements of Sarah Lewis, and the coincidental popular stories available in the press concerning 'well-dressed' men.
Therefore, he must decide which to align Hutchinson's story with, was his story influenced by similar articles published in the press, or was his story confirmed by Sarah Lewis?
It would appear he arrive at the correct conclusion, that similar press stories are all too common and don't present anything of significance.
Simply, liars who choose to invent a character do not need to gather inspiration from the press. These 'well-dressed' men are already available on the streets.
