Without a doubt he was not. The man known as Leather Apron was a local shoemaker named John Pizer. When panick was at its highest anyone that wore a leather apron or used a knife in his line of work could very likely become a Ripper suspect. This is exactly what happened to Pizer.
After being questioned and then released by the police the public decided Pizer had to be the Ripper and had the man not run and hid he most likely would have been strung up by the crowd. For quite a while after being questioned, Pizer had to stay out of sight for his own safety.

While 100s of letters claiming to be from Jack the Ripper were given to the authorities, we don't know that any of them were actually written by Jack the Ripper. Some letters are signed "Jack the Ripper," some are signed "Leather Apron" (which is what the murderer was often called before the name "Jack the Ripper" became popular), one is signed "Catch me when you can Mishter Lusk".....On and on and on.In short, no one knows which, if any, was the real signature.There is a book of these letters available if you would like to learn more. It includes transcripts and pictures.
The identity of the murderer is not known, and he is nicknamed Jack the Ripper. The murders were all in Whitechapel, Stepney in the East End of London. Five, or possibly six women - thought to be prostitutes - were the victims. They were known as the Whitechapel Murders. The novellist Patricia Cornwell claims to prove Jack was one Walter Sickert.
"Jack the Ripper" is the popular name given to a serial killer who killed a number of prostitutes in the East End of London in 1888. The name originates from a letter written by someone who claimed to be the killer published at the time of the murders. The killings took place within a mile area and involved the districts of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate, and the City of London proper. He was also called the Whitechapel Murderer and "Leather Apron." Since he was not aprehended, nobody has any information about him.
