The Express had less detail about the murder, but, probably to compensate for dearth of knowledge, Swallow reckoned, reminded its readers in the first paragraph that this was the third assault on women in the city in little more than a week.

It will be recalled that on Friday night November 2nd last, Miss Alice Flannery, a waitress, was attacked near her home at Blackberry Lane, Rathmines, and sustained injuries which claimed her life some hours later.

On Friday night, Miss Deborah Dunne, a fishmonger, was attacked near Cardiff Lane on Misery Hill. Although she was badly injured and remains gravely ill in hospital it does not appear that her life is in danger.

These outrages confirm that the streets of Dublin are no safer than those of London where the so-called ‘Jack the Ripper’ cases, the latest also on Friday, have spread widespread terror among the populace.

It does not appear that the Dublin Metropolitan Police is any more effective in keeping the streets of the Hibernian capital safe than are their counterparts in London. Nor is the G-Division at Exchange Court, Dublin Castle, any more successful in detecting the perpetrator or perpetrators of these outrages than their vaunted detective colleagues at New Scotland Yard.
