Those who had seen the corpses testified and the surgeon who had examined them also gave his report. The jury returned a verdict of willful murder by a person or persons unknown. After the murder of the Marr family, the London Courier and Evening Gazetteis demanding that the ‘Secretary of State for the Home Department…offer a reward from Government, in addition to those offered by the Parish and the Thames Police Office.’ The newspaper hopes this would ‘afford every means for the apprehension of these sanguinary offenders.’
John Williams's arrest would have interested two other people involved: Cornelius Hart and William "Long Billy" Ablass. Seemingly beaten with a blunt instrument before being thrown from the carriage, he died the next day. Who did it?Exchange Buildings no longer exists, but standing at the junction of Houndsditch and Cutler Street you can still estimate its position. Prior to 1974, however, it was a thriving fruit and vegetable market, albeit one with a seedy side. When a maul was found to be missing from a chest at the Pear Tree, which also housed a ripping chisel, and a fellow lodger there told how Williams had supposedly returned home with a bloodied shirt on the crucial night of the second set of murders, his fate was all but sealed. He was arrested on December 23rd. Newspapers had little doubt of his guilt watching with an eagerness curious to contemplate the indications of the wind-watching within time rapacious eagerness of Grace's Alley – formerly Gracie's Alley, a path between Wellclose Square and the north end of Ensign Street, and home to Wilton's Music Hall
Intimidation alone cannot account for the extremity of the violence, but it could if the negotiation had turned bad and led to the killing of Mr Marr and his shop assistant, and then Mrs Marr too as witness. If there happened to be an unhinged individual with a violent murderous tendency among the group – someone like William Ablass – that alone can explain the murder of the baby. In this context, the Williamsons’ subsequent murder may be comprehended as damage limitation, if somehow they had learnt the truth of the earlier killings. On 7 November 1974, an intruder broke into 46 Belgrave Street, Belgravia, and beat Sandra Rivett to death with a lead pipe. It also touches on the origins and evolution On 28 June, Dinah Angel arrived at 16 Batty Street, Whitechapel, looking for her daughter-in-law Miriam who had failed to uphold an appointment to meet.
