Guter Vorschlag Stordfield!
Mehr wie folgend aufgeführt hab ich aber auch nicht.
The character known as 'Leather Apron' was also seen in the lodging house by Donovan some time before the murders began. He was wearing a deerstalker hat and had to be ejected after threatening a woman. He had returned on a number of subsequent occasions, but had been refused entry[4]. Another resident of Crossingham's, known only as West, also claimed to know Leather Apron by sight and had seen him at the lodging house. Whether 'Leather Apron' in this case was actually John Pizer is not known.[5]
What he wears on his feet the women do not know, but they all agree that he moves noiselessly. His uncanny peculiarity to them is that they never see him or know of his presence until he is close by them. When two of the Philpott-street women directed the Star reporter to Commercial-street, opposite the Princess Alice Tavern, as the most likely place to find him, she added that it would be necessary to look into all the shadows, as if he was there he would surely be out of sight. This locality, it may be remarked, is but a few steps from the model dwellinghouse in George's-Yard, where the murdered woman of four weeks ago was found.
He is five feet four or five inches in height and wears a dark close fitting cap. He is thickset, and has an unusually thick neck. His hair is black, and closely clipped, his age being about 38 or 40. He has a small black moustache. The distinguishing feature of his costume is a leather apron, which he always wears, and from which he gets his nickname.
His expression is sinister, and seems to be full of terror for the women who describe it. His eyes are small and glittering. His lips are usually parted in a grin which is not only not reassuring, but excessively repellant. He is a slipper maker by trade, but does not work. His business is blackmailing women late at night. A number of men in Whitechapel follow this interesting profession. He has never cut anybody so far as known, but always carries a leather knife, presumably as sharp as leather knives are wont to be. This knife a number of the women have seen. His name nobody knows, but all are united in the belief that he is a Jew or of Jewish parentage, his face being of a marked Hebrew type. But the most singular characteristic of the man, and one which tends to identify him closely with last Friday night's work, is the universal statement that in moving about
Pizer können wir wohl ausschließen. Es scheint auch, als hätte Leather Apron seine Tätigkeit aufgegeben. Ich finde keine Hinweise, dass er danach je wieder in Erscheinung getreten wäre. Die Chancen das Jack the Ripper auch Leather Apron war, beziffere ich persönlich als sehr hoch.
