Jul 26, 2008 · Hutchinson has been once described as a man of "military appearance" by a journalist. The man observed by Sarah Lewis was "not tall but stout". Then, some have argued that a man of "military appearance" could hardly be a short one (see Paul Begg), and that Hutch could hardly have been the man seen by Lewis waiting around Miller's Court.

Newspapers at the time have variously given his age as between 22 and 33 years and sometimes state that Hutchinson served in the British Army in some capacity. [1] Hutchinson's statement.
In the book The Ripper And The Royals, Melvyn Fairclough interviews a man named Reginald Hutchinson, who claims his father, George William Topping Hutchinson, was the man who knew Mary Kelly.
The newspapers from the time are one of the only sources of information regarding Hutchinson’s occupation and appearance. Describing him as an unemployed labourer, George was supposedly short and stout with some kind of military background depending on the newspaper being read.
On 12 November 1888, Hutchinson went to the London police to make a statement claiming that on 9 November 1888 he watched the room that Mary Jane Kelly lived in after he saw her with a man of conspicuous appearance.
