=== Colwell, Mrs. Sarah (Sep 2) ===
Mrs. Colwell lived at Honey's Mews, Brady-street, a short distance form the foot of Buck's row.  There is no record of testimony by this witness, but multiple newspapers noted the following: "There are a number of people who early on Friday morning heard the scream of the victim. None of them paid any particular attention to them, however, except Mrs. Colwell, who lives midway between Buck's-row and the next turning. She said, 'I was awakened early on Friday morning by my little girl, who said someone was trying to get into the house. I listened, and heard screams. They were in a woman's voice, and, though frightened, were faint-like, as would be natural if she were running. She was screaming, 'Murder, police! Murder, police! Murder, police!'  She screamed this five or six times, and seemed to be getting further and further away (toward the bottom of Buck's-row) all the time. I heard no other voice and no other steps. She seemed to be all alone. I think I would have heard the steps if anybody had been running after her, unless they were running on tiptoe."
