Rather ominous headline and lurid details here.
Notice the comment, "Her entrails were cut out and scattered about the room...."
A very early newspaper report on the murder.

While digging, I found several perjorative adjectives used to describe Carrie.
"Depraved"..."lewd"..."dissolute"..."abandonded"...all within the first ten words of the article at hand.
One article mentioned that a suspect named Young was not "low" enough to have associated with Mrs. Brown.
Tragic.

This article appears at first to state that the Ripper is "relieved" to be working in New York.
Actually, it should say, believed...
Notice the mention of a "wretched creature".

This headline might give one the impression that the "noted murderer" is in town for a lecture or seminar on the grisly art of murder.
Again...not a poor woman...not a poor victim....but an abandoned woman.
