Kitty Ronan

MIDNIGHT CRIME.
MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF A WOMAN IN EAST END.

A crime which recalls the mysterious murder of the girl Esther Praegar in Bloomsbury last October was discovered in Spitalfields, E., early in the morning of July 5, when a young woman of 22, known as Kitty Ronan, was found dead in a house in Miller's Court, a dingy alley off Duval-street (writes the London "Daily Mail" of July 6).
A man was seen to go into the house with the woman just before midnight. Some time afterwards, he left, and later a second man, with whom the woman had been living, came to the place and discovered her lying dead upon her bed, with her throat cut. She was fully dressed. People in the court had seen the first man enter with the woman, and were able to supply a description of him to the police as follows: -
Height, about 5 ft. 8 in.; dark hair and moustache, broad-shouldered; dressed in dark jacket suit and wearing a cap. No arrest has been made. The scene of the murder is only a few doors from a house in which one of the "Jack the Ripper" crimes was committed.
