In the early hours of September 30, 1888, a patrol officer named Alfred Long discovered a blood-soaked piece of an apron in a doorway at the Wentworth Model Dwellings on Goulston Street. This cloth was later identified as a fragment from the apron worn by Catherine Eddowes, who had been murdered in Mitre Square less than an hour earlier. Scrawled in chalk on the black brickwork directly above this bloodstained evidence was a mysterious, thirteen-word sentence, often transcribed as the Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing.
