By 1:45 am, Catherine Eddowes was found...By 1:44 am, (one minute previously), PC Watkins, who was in the same area around 1:30 am, shouted at the Tea Warehouse:

      "Been a murder! Get help!".

      "Didn't see nothing", George James Morris, 54, the Night Watchman, said. He rubbed his short, grey hair, his blue colored eyes sparkled in the gloom. He wore a brown colored jacket, brown  colored shirt, brown colored breeches, a black colored belt, brown colored socks, and black colored boots. His grey colored watch was on his right hand.

         "Neither did I", said George Clapp, 43, the second watchman. His short, grey hair glowed in the moonlight; his brown eyes focusing on the others.

          He wore the same clothes, and boots.

           And a black colored watch on his right hand.

          "George was at 5 Clapp Street...Nothin' 'appened", said Richard Pearse, 32, "...was also at 3 Mitre Square as well", he added.

           He had short, grey hair, brown eyes, and tall.

          He wore a grey colored jacket, brown colored shirt, a brown colored shirt, brown colored socks, and brown colored shoes.

             "I don' need ter be on the beat no more", Richard said, and he shook his head, "...London's too violent now. The social decay of England is our tragedy", he stated, and, as everyone had their own personal view on the ruin of England, and London, they shivered with the thought that Jack the Ripper was now the most dangerous serial killer that was still alive...And killing prostitutes with such frenzy, that noone was safe in London anymore; noone.
