Iieid watched the raa on behalf of tbo Com'mt siocert of Police and Criminal Inrcatlgation Depart ceat. ltectiTe Invpecbr Edsrand Keid, Diruion, aail I rcceircd a call to Castle alley about fire cuaatea paat 1 on the morning of tha order. I dretaed and ran down at once. On arriving at Cantle alley I foand the on! worth tree end blocked by a policeman. On arriving at the back of the hatha I aaw Um deceased woman.

I taw ahe had a cat oa tha left i4e of the throat, and there waa a quantity of Hood endwr Um head which waa running into the ratter. The clothe were np and her fare wa ilightly turned toward the road. She wa lying on her lack. I felt ber face and body, and found'they were warm. Dr.

rhillip arrived. At the tune I arrived 1 aacer Uined the fact that the other end (Whitechapel) wa blocked and arch wa being made through Um alley' aad alo ia the immediate neiLKorhood. The depaty raprrtntendect and hii wife at the hatha were a pen and ttated they heard nothing anaaaal. After the body had bees examined by the doctor it wa placed on the police ambalaiice, and anierneath the body of the deceaaed wa found the abort clay pipe produced. The pipe wa broken and there ira blood oa it, and ia the bowl wa aome unburst tobacco.

I alto found a bronae farthing underneath tha clothe of the deceased. There wa alao blood on the farthing. I jcoduce a rough plan of Cattle alley, a correct copy of which will be ent by the draughtamaa. Daring the whole time from the finding of the body only one priTate pervon waa prercat, except lewis Jacob, who was examined yetterday. Everything wa dtee vry quietly.

The fence on the other aide of the alley, to where the body wa found, i about high. Along that were a row of barrows. Close to where. tha body wa found were two barrows chained teiretbeV There was a lamp where the body wa found one outaide tha publichouae one at the entrance to Old CaUe treet and one at' the entrance to tte passage leading into the alley. ,1 do Lot think any stranger Would go down there unless be wa taken there.

I did not go into the High street, within a few minute of my arrival ia the alley. There are people in High street, Whitechapel, all night. Two constable are continually puin through the alley all night. It i hardly eTer left alos for more than five minute. Although it "called an alley it is really a broad turning, with two narrow entrances.

Any person standing at the Went worth street end would look upon it as a blind street. ftranrer would think he could pane through it, and bum but foot paaaenger can. It waa raining wben the body wa removed. It wa alao raining when I arrived, bat a very little. The spot under which deceased was lying was dry except where there was tlood.

I searched the body at the mortuary and found nothing. There is no doubt about the name of the decerned, I have since made inquiries at 54 Cun treet, and have ascertained from the deputy, Hyder, that Hog Cheek, the woman that waa mentioned yeterday, stayed with her sister all night. I saw the deputy this morning, and she said sbe would try and get 11 og Cheeks here. I have no doubt the deed was committed on the spot where the body was foand. I should say she was lying down on the pavementpavement when she.

was murdered, as if sbe had been standing up there would have been blood on tha wall. Ebe waa lying alocg the pavement, her head being towards Whitechapel. No person, unless he went along the pathway; could have seen the body on account of the shadow of the lamp aad Um ran which screened the body. Any person going along the road would have seen it. If I wanted to watch any one I would stand under the lamp.

The darkness wa so peat that it was necessary to aae the constable's lamp to see that the throat was cut, although it was lat under the lamp. I think the alley is sufficiently lighted there are five lamps hero. In another instance of this kind tha lUuburr atreet marder two were The tobacco ia the pipe bad not len smoked.
