When Charles Cross walked through Whitechapel's Buck's Row just before four in the morning Friday, August 31, 1888, it was dark and seemingly deserted. It was chilly and damp, not unusual for London even in the summer, especially before dawn. He saw something that looked like a tarpaulin lying on the ground before the entrance to a stable yard.

As he walked closer, he saw it was a woman lying on her back, her skirts lifted almost to her waist. He saw another man walking the same way. "Come and look over here," he asked the man, assuming that the woman was either drunk or the victim of an assault. As they tried to help her in the darkened street, neither of the two men saw the awful wounds that had nearly decapitated her. They fixed her skirt for modesty's sake and went to look for a policeman.

A few minutes later, Police Constable John Neil happened by the body while he was walking his beat. From the light of his lantern, he could see that blood was oozing from her throat which had been slashed from ear to ear. Her eyes were wide open and staring. Even though her hands and wrists were cold, Neil felt warmth in her arms. He called to another policeman who summoned a doctor and an ambulance.
Neil awakened some of the residences in the respectable neighborhood to find out if they had heard anything suspicious, but to no avail. Soon, Dr. Rees Llewellyn arrived on the scene and examined the woman. The wounds to her throat had been fatal, he told them. Since parts of her body were still warm, the doctor felt that she had been dead no longer than a half-hour, perhaps minutes after Neil had completed his earlier walk around that area.

Her neck had been slashed twice, which had cut through her windpipe and esophagus. She had been killed where she was found, even though there was very little blood on the ground. Most of the lost blood had soaked into her clothing. The body was taken to the mortuary on Old Montague Street, which was part of the workhouse there. While the body was being stripped, Inspector Spratling discovered that her abdomen had been wounded and mutilated. He called Dr. Llewellyn back for a more detailed examination.
The doctor determined that the woman had been bruised on the lower left jaw. The abdomen exhibited a long, deep jagged knife wound, along with several other cuts from the same instruments running downward. The doctor guessed that a left-handed person could have inflicted these wounds very quickly with a long-bladed knife. Later, the doctor was not so sure about the killer being left-handed.

There have been several theories about how the wounds were inflicted. Philip Sugden makes a persuasive case:

If (the victim's) throat were cut while she was erect and alive, a strong jet of blood would have spurted from the wound and probably deluged the front of her clothing. But in fact there was no blood at all on her breast or the corresponding part of her clothes. Some of the flow from the throat formed a small pool on the pavement beneath (her) neck and the rest was absorbed by the backs of the dress bodice and ulster. The blood from the abdominal wound largely collected in the loose tissues. Such a pattern proves that (her) injuries were inflicted when she was lying on her back and suggests that she may have already been dead.
Identification would not be easy. All she had on her was a comb, broken mirror and a handkerchief. The Lambeth Workhouse mark was on her petticoats. There were no identifying marks on her other inexpensive and well-worn clothes. She had a black straw hat with black velvet trim. The woman was approximately five feet two inches tall with brown graying hair, brown eyes and several missing front teeth.

But later, as news of the murder spread around Whitechapel, the police learned of a woman named "Polly," who lived in a lodging house at 18 Thrawl Street. Eventually a woman from the Lambeth Workhouse identified her as Mary Ann Nichols, age 42. The next day her father and her husband identified her body.
Polly had been the daughter of a locksmith and married William Nichols, a printer's machinist. They had five children. Her drinking had caused their marriage to break up. For the most part, Polly had been living off her meager earnings as a prostitute. She still had a very serious drinking problem. Every once in awhile, she would try to get her life back together, but it never worked out. She was a sad, destitute woman, but one that most people liked and pitied.

The inspector in charge of the investigation was a police veteran named Frederick George Abberline who had been on the force 25 years, most of which had been spent in the Whitechapel area.

The murderer of Polly Nichols left nothing behind in the way of witnesses, weapon or any other type of clue. None of the residents nearby heard any kind of disturbance nor did any of the workmen in the area notice anything unusual. Even though Polly had been found very shortly after her death, no vehicle or person was seen escaping the scene of the crime. At one point, suspicion focused upon three horse slaughterers who worked nearby, but it was proven that they were working while the murder occurred.At the time of Polly Nichols' death, the inhabitants of London's Whitechapel area had already heard about a number of attacks on women in that neighborhood. Whether or not one or more of these attacks was perpetrated by the man who later became known as Jack the Ripper is controversial. However, in the minds of the people of Whitechapel, most of these crimes were linked indisputably.

On Monday, August 6, 1888, several weeks before Polly Nichols' murder, Martha Tabram, a 39-year-old prostitute, was found murdered in George Yard. The time of death was estimated to be 2:30 a.m. She had been stabbed 39 times on "body, neck and private parts with a knife or dagger," according to Dr. Timothy Killeen's post-mortem examination report. There was no indication that the throat had been slashed or her abdomen extensively mutilated. With the exception of one wound that had been delivered with a strong knife with a long blade, such as a dagger or bayonet, many other wounds had been inflicted with a penknife.
According to another prostitute, Mary Ann Connelly, known as Pearly Poll, she and Martha had been together in the company of two soldiers until a few hours before Martha was killed. The police took Poll to check out the soldiers at the Tower garrison, but the soldiers she identified were cleared of the crime. A constable who had been on duty in the vicinity of George Yard also saw a soldier in that area around the time of Martha's death, but this soldier was never properly identified.

Some months earlier, Emma Smith, a 45-year-old prostitute, was attacked on April 2, 1888 at seven o'clock in the evening within 100 yards of where Martha Tabram was found. Her head and face were badly injured and a blunt instrument had been rammed into her ******. She told the woman at her lodging house that several men robbed and assaulted her.

While these incidences of violence so close together in Whitechapel were linked so firmly in the minds of their neighbors, the crimes themselves were very different. Tabram was probably murdered by one individual, while several men assaulted Smith. Robbery was clearly the motive of the Smith assault, but not the murder of Tabram. The nature of the wounds inflicted was quite different. Thus, it is not likely that the same assailant was responsible for both crimes. Only the Tabram murder bears any similarity to the work of the man eventually known as Jack the Ripper.

Ketika Charles berjalan melalui Palang Whitechapel's Buck's Row sebelum empat di pagi hari Jumat, 31 Agustus 1888, ia kelihatannya gelap dan sepi. Ia dingin dan lembab, tidak biasa untuk London bahkan pada musim panas, terutama sebelum fajar. Ia melihat sesuatu yang tampak seperti kain terpal berbaring di lapangan sebelum masuk ke halaman yang stabil.

Karena dia berjalan lebih dekat, ia melihat seorang perempuan berbaring di dia kembali, dia diangkat skirts hampir kepadanya pinggang. Ia melihat orang lain berjalan dengan cara yang sama. "Datang dan lihat di atas di sini," ia bertanya orang, dengan asumsi bahwa perempuan itu mabuk atau salah satu korban dari sebuah penyerangan. Karena mereka berusaha untuk membantunya di jalan gelap, baik dari dua orang melihat ngerinya luka yang hampir decapitated dia. Mereka tetap dia rok demi untuk kesederhanaan dan pergi mencari polisi.

Beberapa menit kemudian, polisi Polisi John Neil terjadi oleh tubuh ketika ia memukul dia berjalan. Dari terang lentera itu, ia bisa melihat bahwa darah yang dia oozing dari tenggorokan yang telah slashed dari telinga ke telinga. Matanya yang terbuka lebar dan cerah. Walaupun dia tangan dan pergelangan tangan yang dingin, Neil merasakan kehangatan di lengan. Ia memanggil polisi yang lain summoned dokter dan ambulans.
Neil terbangun beberapa Residences terhormat di lingkungan untuk mengetahui apakah mereka mendengar sesuatu yang mencurigakan, tapi tidak dapat. Segera, Dr Rees Llewellyn tiba di tempat dan diperiksa perempuan. Luka yang kepadanya telah tenggorokan fatal, dia mengatakan kepada mereka. Sejak bagian tubuhnya masih hangat, dokter merasa bahwa ia sudah mati tidak lebih dari setengah jam, mungkin menit setelah Neil telah selesai dia yang sebelumnya berjalan sekitar kawasan.

Her leher slashed telah dua kali, yang telah memotong dia batang dan kerongkongan. Dia telah dibunuh di mana dia ditemukan, walaupun ada sedikit darah di lapangan. Sebagian besar kehilangan darah telah menjadi dia kebasahan pakaian. Tubuh itu dibawa ke kamar mayat di Old Montague Street, yang merupakan bagian dari rumah sosial untuk gelandangan di sana. Sementara tubuh yang telah dilucuti, Inspektur Spratling menemukan bahwa dia telah terluka perut dan puntung. Dr Llewellyn ia dipanggil kembali untuk pemeriksaan yang lebih rinci.
Dokter menetapkan bahwa perempuan telah memar pada rahang bawah kiri. Dipamerkan di perut yang panjang, mendalam luka pisau bergerigi, bersama dengan beberapa luka lainnya dari instrumen yang sama berjalan ke bawah. Dokter dugaan bahwa tangan kiri-orang bisa memiliki akibat luka ini sangat cepat dengan panjang berbilah pisau. Kemudian, dokter itu tidak begitu yakin tentang killer sedang tangan kiri.

Ada beberapa teori tentang bagaimana akibat luka itu. Philip Sugden membuat persuasif kasus:

If (dari korban) telah dipotong tenggorokan saat ia mendirikan dan hidup, yang kuat jet darah akan spurted dari luka dan mungkin deluged bagian depan dia pakaian. Namun dalam kenyataannya tidak ada sama sekali darah di payudara dia yang sesuai atau bagian dari pakaian. Beberapa mengalir dari tenggorokan membentuk sebuah kolam kecil di kaki lima di bawah (her) leher dan sisanya telah diserap oleh punggung yang berpakaian korset dan Ulster. Darah dari lukanya abdominal besar dikumpulkan dalam sel-sel yang longgar. Pola seperti ini membuktikan bahwa (her) adalah akibat cedera ketika ia berbaring di ia kembali dan Mei menunjukkan bahwa ia telah mati.
Identifikasi tidak akan mudah. Semua dia di dia adalah seorang sisir, cermin rusak dan kacu. Lambeth rumah sosial untuk gelandangan yang telah di tandai petticoats dia. Tidak ada tanda identifikasi lainnya di dia murah dan pakaian usang. Ia hitam dengan topi jerami hitam beludru trim. Perempuan sekitar lima kaki dua inci tinggi dengan graying rambut coklat, mata coklat dan beberapa gigi depan hilang.

Tetapi kemudian, seperti berita yang tersebar di sekitar pembunuhan Whitechapel, polisi belajar dari seorang perempuan bernama "Polly," yang tinggal di sebuah rumah penginapan di 18 Thrawl Street. Akhirnya seorang wanita dari rumah sosial untuk gelandangan Lambeth dia diidentifikasi sebagai Mary Ann Nichols, umur 42. Pada hari berikutnya ayahnya dan suaminya diidentifikasi tubuhnya.
Polly pernah menjadi anak perempuan seorang tukang kunci dan menikah William Nichols, sebuah mesin printer. Mereka memiliki lima anak. Dia minum disebabkan mereka telah menikah untuk bercerai. For the most part, Polly telah hidup mati kurus penghasilan dia sebagai pelacur. Dia masih memiliki masalah minum sangat serius. Sekali-sebentar, dia akan mencoba untuk mendapatkan kembali hidupnya bersama-sama, tetapi tidak pernah berhasil keluar. Dia yang sedih, perempuan miskin, tetapi yang paling disukai orang dan pitied.

Pemeriksa yang berkuasa dari penyelidikan polisi adalah seorang veteran bernama Frederick George Abberline yang telah berlaku pada tahun 25, sebagian besar dari yang telah dikeluarkan di daerah Whitechapel.

Pembunuh yang dari Polly Nichols kiri tidak tertinggal di jalan saksi, senjata atau jenis clue. Tidak ada warga masyarakat di dekatnya mendengar segala jenis gangguan atau melakukan salah satu pekerja di kawasan melihat sesuatu yang tidak biasa. Meski Polly telah ditemukan sangat segera setelah matinya, tidak ada kendaraan atau orang yang mulai keluar dari tempat terjadinya kejahatan. Pada satu titik, kecurigaan difokuskan pada tiga slaughterers kuda yang bekerja di dekatnya, tetapi itu membuktikan bahwa mereka bekerja sementara pembunuhan occurred.At waktu Polly Nichols' kematian, penduduk Whitechapel London dari daerah sudah mendengar tentang sejumlah serangan perempuan di dalam lingkungan. Apakah satu atau lebih dari serangan ini adalah perpetrated oleh pria yang kemudian menjadi dikenal sebagai Jack the Ripper yang kontroversial. Namun, dalam pikiran orang-orang dari Whitechapel, sebagian besar dari kejahatan yang terhubung indisputably.

Pada hari Senin, 6 Agustus 1888, beberapa minggu sebelum Polly Nichols' pembunuhan, Marta Tabram, yang 39 tahun pelacur, ditemukan dibunuh di George Yard. Pada saat kematian diperkirakan akan 2:30 Ia telah ditikam 39 kali pada "tubuh, leher dan bagian swasta dengan pisau atau ketegangan," menurut Dr Timothy Killeen dari bedah mayat lapor. Tidak ada indikasi bahwa telah slashed tenggorokan atau perut secara kompong dia. Dengan pengecualian satu luka yang telah disampaikan dengan pisau yang kuat dengan panjang blade, seperti pisau belati atau sangkur, banyak lainnya luka telah kenakan dengan pisau lipat.
Menurut lain pelacur, Mary Ann Connelly, yang dikenal sebagai mutiara Poll, dia dan Martha telah bersama-sama di perusahaan dua prajurit sampai beberapa jam sebelum Martha telah dibunuh. Polisi mengambil Poll untuk melihat prajurit di Tower garnisun, tetapi prajurit yang diidentifikasi dia dibersihkan dari kejahatan. A yang telah jagabaya yang bertugas di sekitar George Yard juga melihat seorang tentara di wilayah sekitar waktu Martha kematian, tetapi prajurit ini tidak pernah benar diidentifikasi.

Beberapa bulan sebelumnya, Emma Smith, 45 tahun pelacur, telah diserang pada April 2, 1888 pada jam tujuh malam di dalam pekarangan di mana 100 Martha Tabram ditemukan. Kepalanya dan wajah yang sangat terluka dan tumpul instrumen telah menjadi rammed her ******. Dia perempuan di rumah penginapan itu bahwa beberapa orang dirampok dan assaulted her.

Meskipun incidences kekerasan sangat dekat bersama di Whitechapel yang dihubungkan sehingga kuat dalam pikiran mereka tetangga, kejahatan itu sendiri sangat berbeda. Tabram mungkin dibunuh oleh seorang individu, sementara beberapa orang assaulted Smith. Perampokan adalah motif yang jelas dari serangan Smith, tetapi bukan pembunuhan Tabram. Sifat akibat luka yang cukup berbeda. Dengan demikian, tidak mungkin bahwa pemerkosa sama bertanggung jawab atas kejahatan kedua. Hanya Tabram pembunuhan beruang ada kesamaan dengan pekerjaan laki-laki akhirnya dikenal sebagai Jack the Ripper.
