I am loathe to dismiss Hutchinson when so little is known about him. I know the Star claimed his story became of reduced importance but that is all we hear. The Star were not exactly the most accurate paper and Scotland Yard was notoriously reticent in this case. Therefore to me dismissing Hutchinson is a stab in the dark. We don't know who he was so can't judge his merits as a truthful witness as much as we like. The best we have to go on is Abberline. He believed him. That is good enough for me in this case until more is known on Hutch or an official document clears it up one way or another.
