Editing Mary Ann Nichols (section)

===Identification===
* Late last evening the body was identified as that of a married woman named Mary Ann Nichols, who has been living apart from her husband for some years. Her real age is 36, and she has been an inmate of Lambeth Workhouse off and on for the past seven years. She was first admitted to the workhouse, seven years ago, as a patient into the lying-in ward, and from this point seems to have entered upon a downward career. Some few months ago she left the workhouse, after having temporarily sojourned there, to go into domestic service at Wandsworth. She left suddenly under suspicious circumstances, and for the last seven weeks or so seems to have been frequenting the neighborhood of Whitechapel. On the night of the murder she was last seen in the Whitechapel-road at half-past two, and was then under the influence of drink.
