Alice McKenzie

The lodging house on Gun Street was managed by a Mrs. Elizabeth
Ryder, wife of Richard John Ryder. While there, McKenzie was said to
have worked for her Jewish neighbors as a washerwoman and charwoman,
but the police considered her a common prostitute and she was known to
have frequented the streets on occasion. At this time, Alice was around
40 years of age, described as a freckle-faced woman with a penchant for
both smoke and drink, engaging more in the former than the latter. She
preferred the smoke of a pipe, which was soon to grant her the name
"Clay Pipe" Alice by her friends and acquaintances. Her left thumb was
also injured in what was no doubt some sort of industrial accident.
