Jack The Ripper's Only Clue - The Goulston Street Apron And Graffito.

At 1.45 on the morning of the Sunday the 30th of September, 1888. Police Constable Edward Watkins found the body of Jack the Ripper's fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes, in Mitre Square on the eastern fringe of the City of London.

It was soon apparent that a portion of her apron was missing, and the detectives presumed it had been taken away by her killer.

At 2.55 a.m. Police Constable Alfred Watkins found the missing portion of apron in a doorway in Goulston Street, 5 to 10 minutes walk east of Mitre Square. It was stained with blood, and the killer had used it to wipe his hands. This apron would be the only physical clue that Jack the Ripper would leave behind. Above the apron was a chalked message on the wall of the inner doorway which read "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing" (it should be noted that, as you will see in the video, people remembered different versions of the graffito.)

In this video you will visit the doorway and see it as it is today and as it was in 1888 as Richard Jones takes you through the events of that early morning when two Police forces, the Metropolitan Police and the City of London Police, clashed over what should happen to the mysterious message.
