On this day in 1888 the body of the second of canonical victims of Jack the Ripper, Anne Chapman was discovered. A relative of mine (great to the power of several uncle iirc) named John Fitzgerald confessed to this murder at Wandsworth police station after having only had a pint or two (reports at the time are keen to state he was not drunk although had been drinking) and was almost formally charged after being in custody for a few days when at the 11th hour someone provided him with an alibi. It is also quite probable that he was the 'shabby, genteel man' seen in Chapman's company not long before her murder that police had hoped to trace, he was also seen using a knife of a size corresponding with the murder weapon in a pub shortly before his very detailed confession to the police. Without the alibi it is rather likely that he would have been charged and hung for the murder of Chapman.
