I think that your answer throws up some very interesting points, Mike.
Firstly you agree that the Police would agree with Hutchinson because "he told his story".
Next , you think that the Police would surely have gotten Mrs Lewis to take a look at Hutchinson and She said 'No' it wasn't him. I agree that this is a plausible scenario :
I've already touched on my my idea of the 'body language' that Mrs Lewis probably used when she found herself in a deserted dark street, in the early hours of the morning, as a vulnerable lone woman faced with a loitering lone man, with his hat hiding his face -I bet that she averted her eyes and hurried past. When a woman looks a man straight in the face -at his eyes- in such circumstances, it can be construed as an invitation for further contact
(I get this on authority from male friends on what would give them the confidence to approach a strange woman or not -whether she looked straight at their faces, or anywhere but..).
I should say that Mrs Lewis was intent on getting to her friends house, took in the general dark shape of Hutchinson and looked away and quickened her step.
Hutch , however, would feel no possible physical threat from Mrs Lewis at the time -maybe he would step back into the shadows trying to shy away from being recognised, but he'd feel much more powerful than her.
I've already said in a previous post, why I think that there is a good chance that Hutch knew Mrs Lewis as an acquaintance -and he could easily have had more time and ease to observe her and recognise her as such, than she did him.
Of course, if they DID know each other in a casual way, that would be one reason why Hutch would be worried in the aftermath of Kelly's murder as to how much Lewis had seen -but also a reason why Mrs Lewis might relax and
say 'oh, No -it wasn't that nice Mr Hutchinson I saw -he's a friend-of-a friend -we would have greeted each other..'.
