  • 2 of 8: Straight ahead when you come in are the Press Files; they're newspaper clippings.
  • 3 of 8: Look in the 1888 file.
  • 4 of 8: Behind the Press Files, on the wall opposite to the entrance, you'll find the Case Files.
  • 5 of 8: In the corner, on the left as you come in, are the Detective Files.
  • 6 of 8: This is where you'll find the rest of the Whitechapel stuff.
  • 7 of 8: It's in the file of Freeman, the detective who borrowed it.
  • 8 of 8: And if you really get turned around, there's a map of this room on the wall over the light table at left.
