Scouting the manor
From the terrace above the estate you can listen in on a nervous gravedigger, guards told to kill any armed woman on sight, and a butler ordering the men to stay alert. Frightening the gravedigger makes him ring an alarm bell that draws guards to him, which is a handy distraction.
Getting inside
Eavesdrop on the butler in his cottage and tail him to the manor. Inside, he works a mechanism that reveals a hidden stair, and following him takes you up to Lady Owers, who is busy burning papers.
The unique kill
You can also find Thomas Owers, a collector of 'curious' books, and kidnap him. Walk him up to his wife's room and he opens the way for Evie. The special kill scene does not trigger if Lady Owers has been frightened.
Escape
If you are seen, guards lock down the manor once Owers is dead. Get out unseen for full sync, then take a carriage from a group of guards at the exit.

Dying, Lady Owers says she feared the Ripper more than Evie and that the men in her photograph are his captives, with Arthur Weaversbrook next. Jack watches Evie leave from the roof, then slaughters the household, which damages Evie's standing with the police.

- Frederick AbberlineFrederick Abberline is the Metropolitan Police officer who works with the Frye twins in 1868 and leads the Whitechapel murder inquiry in the Jack the Ripper expansion. In the main game he gives you Bounty Hunts, sending you after Blighter leaders to bring back alive.
