Came across this one today in the LSJ Gazette. Finally found more on him after his involvement in the Pinchin Torso case.

Transcribed from:

London St James Gazette
December 22, 1903

At the inquest on the body of a man named John Arnold, aged forty-three, a sister of the deceased stated that for thirty-six years he had earned a living by selling newspapers outside Charing-Cross post office. Her father died many years ago, and the deceased had sold newspapers on the streets since he was a child in pinafores.
