Evidence of P.C. Mizen at inquest (from the Daily Telegraph): "Police-constable Mizen said that at a quarter to four o'clock on Friday morning he was at the crossing, Hanbury-street, Baker's-row, when a carman who passed in company with another man informed him that he was wanted by a policeman in Buck's-row..."
Other reports make clear that the carman in question was identified by Mizen as Cross.
If Cross/Lechmere said this, as Mizen recalled him doing, it was a lie (and Cross/Lechmere denied saying it).

If you were a competent police officer in 1888 Lechmere would have to be a suspect.
But that is a million miles away from saying that he did it (or that he probably did it).
