This is Jack, the Ripper,discovering the real creepy crimes behind one of
the most famous serial killers. Writtenby Rex Buckley, narrated by Vinicio Aguinaga
for COWIC Global Introduction. Jack theRipper, the pseudonym adopted by a merciless

(00:29):
murderer in London of one thousand eighthundred and eighty- eight, has come
to symbolize the pure evil lurking inthe soul of some murderers. Their true
identity has never been established. Hewas a deranged doctor, an eccentric artist,
a worker at a Jewish slaughterhouse,a member of the royal family,
a military or an American swindler.We' ll never know. He was

(00:54):
a master of disguise, an incrediblylucky criminal. There were no witnesses to
his murders. Little is known forcertain about the Ripper The victims of his
crimes were all women. Some oftheir bodies were mutilated and all were slaughtered.
Blaola' s murders of the Ripperin London' s poor end of

(01:15):
the late Victorian era has fascinated alarge number of researchers, historians and amateur
detectives have written and continue to writebooks and articles, creating podcasts, movies,
novels and plays in which they selectclues from records that have survived to
create a case for their suspect.The records, including the letters, which

(01:38):
are supposedly from the Ripper himself,have been reviewed with a fine- tooth
comb, writing experts, paper history, forensic pathologists, art historians, psychopathic
scholars and scientists who are experts inmitochondrial DNA analysis have studied the evidence of
despus des Of all this, despitewhat some detectives claim, the case is

(02:00):
not closed. The real name ofthe killer Jack, the Ripper. It
has not yet been definitively established.The Ripper' s Crimes In a thousand
eight hundred and eighty- eight,and perhaps in the years that followed,
they lead to shocking reports. Sinceall the murders occurred in the distant past,

(02:23):
we cannot expect the investigations to followmodern forensic and police procedures. Fingerprints,
DNA analysis, and blood spatter analysiswere tools of the future. The
record of researchers at the end ofthe 19th century was not as thorough as

(02:44):
the current one. Some have cometo the conclusion that the lack of pieces
in police files, such as notesfrom interviews with suspects, shows that there
was some sort of cover- up. Every absence or silence in investigation has
been interpreted as being related to aconspiracy of one kind or another. It

(03:04):
is rare for stripper enthusiasts to acceptthe simplest and most sensible explanation of some
rarity or aberration in police work onthe case. At that time chapter one
beings of horror, the first ofWhite Chapel' s third murder. Charles

(03:28):
Cross, a transporter, was onhis way to work at Broath Street at
three and forty- five in themorning as he advanced in the darkness of
London on thirty- one August ofone thousand eight hundred and eighty- eight,
casually glanced at buk Row at thehead of the street. In the
dim light of the nearby gas lamp, he distinguished a pile of cloth against
an iron door. He thought itwas a discarded tarp or something. He

(03:53):
went ahead to examine it. Byexamining it more closely, the pile of
cloth became the body of a woman. She was lying down along with her
hand open knocking on the door.His long skirt was up. Covering his
chest. Cross was joined by anotherpasserby, John Paul, who appeared on
Broad Street. On the way towork on Hanbury Street. They both stared

(04:16):
at the prostrate figure. Cross brokethe silent vigil suggesting that they raise the
creature Ebria and help him to followhis path. John Paul refused. Instead,
he knelt down and felt the woman' s face and her hands were
cold as stones. He lowered hisskirt to cover his legs and told Cross
that he believed the woman was dead. Alarmed, the two rushed to find

(04:41):
a policeman while they were away.A policeman arrived at the scene, Agent
John Neil, who was making hisrounds. At three and forty- five
in the morning, he saw thebody in Row bugs. It was equipped
with an ox' s eye lampthat lit up the prostrate figure. Not
that the cop' s portable lampwas especially effective, but it shed a

(05:02):
little more light on the object ofhis investigation. He saw that the woman
' s black straw cap was lyingon the ground near her hand. With
the scant light he could tell thatthe woman had been slaughtered and that the
blood had spilled down the street.A second policeman, Officer John Tyle,
passed by and the two commented onthe body' s wide- open eyes.

(05:25):
Tyle called Dr. Rold lew Ellen, who lived nearby. Luelden confirmed
that the woman was indeed dead.When he examined him, he felt his
arms warm from his elbows upwards,suggesting that he had not long since died.
Dr. Leellen requested the help ofsome passersby who had appeared to observe

(05:46):
his work. He ordered them totake the body to White Chapelle' s
morgue. When they collected the bodyto place it on a wheelbarrow, they
were surprised at the amount of bloodthat had accumulated in the clothes of the
deceased. The two police buses followedhim behind the service carriers in the morgue,
which was nothing but a rudimentary shedin the courtyard of an asylum,

(06:06):
delayed the full examination of the body. The two homeless people who worked there
as a reward for lodging in ahospice did not arrive until they devoured their
breakfast. They took off the bodyof his clothes when it was time to
take off his petticoats. The workerswere horrified to see the cuts in the
abdomen of the deceased sticking out handlesof the intestine. The body was placed

(06:30):
naked on an examination table. Dr. Lowelling. He performed a postmortem examination
reported his findings. Later, inthe forensic investigation, he determined that the
body was that of a woman betweenthe ages of forty and forty- five.
Five teeth were missing and the tonguewas slightly lacerated. The jaw on

(06:51):
the right side was bruised under thejaw. On the left side of the
neck there was an incision that wentjust under the ear to the right jaw.
The head was almost completely severed andthe incision reached to the vertebrae.
On the left side of the lowerbelly there was an irregular and very deep

(07:13):
wound that also presented horizontal and verticalcuts. To Dr. Lowellen felt that
all the courts had been violated bya left- handed person and they were
all of the same instrument. Thenews that there was the body of an
unknown woman in the cadaver depot spreadrapidly in the London neighborhood of White Chapel.
Several women approached to inspect the victim, but none could identify her.

(07:39):
Finding the seal of a nursing homein one of the victim' s petticoats
put the police in the right direction. She was eventually identified as Mariann Paul
and Nicholes, a former prisoner atLambet Worthouse. He had stopped sleeping in
the hospice and then spent the nightsin a hostel on 18th Trolle Street and

(08:00):
then moved to an accommodation on FlowerStreet. The porter of fifty- six
Flower Street said she had been deniedentry on the night of thirty- one
August because she lacked the four shillingsneeded for a bed. He asked to
keep a space for him and promisedto come back with the money. The
last time anyone heard from Pauly Nicholesthat night was Emily Holland, the owner

(08:24):
of the Troll Street apartment, withwhom she met on the street around two
thirty in the morning. The investigationinto Maryanne Nicholes' death began on September
1. Mr Wine Baxter, theinvestigating judge of the northeastern district of Mike
lex CSS, held his research atthe Workings Lad Institute library at White Chapper

(08:45):
Rold. The first witness named wasEdward Walker, the father of the deceased
Marianne Nichols, who confirmed the victim' s identity from the examination of her
body in Gamorgue. Although she admittednot to have seen her in the last
two years, she said she recognizedher by a mark on her forehead since
her birth and confirmed that her daughterhad been torn out by a pair of

(09:07):
teeth. In response to a questionfrom the coroner, my daughter said her
name was Marianne Nichols, and shewas married for twenty- two years.
Her husband, her name is WilliamNichols, is a machinist. M E
Mr Baxter then asked if your daughterhad been living with her husband. They
hadn' t been separated for aboutseven or eight years. You' ve

(09:30):
seen her recently. The last timeI heard about her was before Easter the
witness wrote to me. He toldthe coroner that he had no idea where
his daughter lived or what she wasdoing. She was a drinker, she
said that' s why she hadallowed her to leave home when she was
so young. When the coroner toldhim his daughter was quick, Mr Walker
said he didn' t know anythingabout it. She explained that Mary Anne

(09:54):
had left her husband because when shewas imprisoned in her last pregnancy, she
slept with the woman who came toMom to kill her said she had five
children, the oldest of whom wastwenty- one and the youngest eight or
nine. In response to the coronerwho asked you know something that might shed
some light on this matter, Pauly' s father said no. I don

(10:16):
' t think he had any enemiesHe was too good for that. Among
the witnesses who testified on the secondday of the investigation was Emily Holland,
who was the last person to seePauly Nichols alive. She identified herself as
a married woman who owned the GuestHouse on 18 Rowl Street. He stated
that Marian Nichol had stayed at hishouse for about six weeks, but that

(10:39):
he had not stayed at his homefor the last ten days. He was
asked if he knew where Nichols wasstaying at night. Emily Holland could only
say that she had heard it wasin a house on Flower Street. Baxter
questioned the witness about when he hadlast seen Mari Nichols that night on his
murder. Mrs Hollan answered the tracktwo and a half o' clock on

(11:03):
Friday morning. I was walking downOsborn Street. She was alone and very
poor at drinking. I tried topersuade her to come home.“ Well
he did,” Baxter asked.No. He didn' t say it
because he didn' t say anything, only that he had earned the money
from the lodging three times that day. Then he left for Whitecha Bell Roll

(11:24):
of the evidence given in the coroner' s investigation, it is clear that
Maryann Nichols' death was taken seriouslyby the police. He did not pass
up, as one might expect,as an unfortunate result of his lifestyle.
The victim was a regular drunk anda prostitute. Her character and behaviour were
revealed by the witnesses in the investigationbefore she separated definitively from her husband had

(11:48):
escaped home on several occasions. Herhusband had paid her a pension up to
one thousand eight hundred eighty- two. When he found out he was making
a living as a prostitute, hetried to set up the payments, bringing
the matter to court. When evidenceof his drunkenness and work as a prostitute
was presented, the pension was refused. William Nichols said in research that he

(12:13):
had not seen his wife for threeyears and had not heard from her.
Since then. He declared that shehad left him of her own free will.
He had no reason to do so, he said and added if it
had been for his drinking habits theywould have gotten along well. When I
I D' d his body inthe morgue. It was reported in the

(12:33):
newspapers that they had no qualms aboutreporting pure gossip that he said. I
forgive you all now that I've seen you. Thus, it follows
from the evidence of the investigation thatthe police carried out appropriate investigative procedures.
The first officer in the scene,John Dal had knocked the doorbell of the
adjacent residence in the interval before Dr. Lueleng asked if there had been any

(12:58):
disturbance. The answer was negative.The coroner asked if there was blood in
the place where the body was found. There was a pool of blood right
where his neck was. It cameout of the neck wound. The agent
answered, Neil you heard some noisethat night didn' t say Neil,
I didn' t hear anything asfar away as I was that night was

(13:20):
across Whaite Chapelle Street and going upby Baky Roll. I' ve never
been far from the place. Ithink whitechapper Rood is busy in the morning.
Early on, someone could have escapedout there. Oh yes, sir
I saw several women on the mainstreet going home at that time, anyone
could have escaped. A member ofthe jury asked people if they had examined

(13:41):
the crime scene. It was possiblethat the woman was murdered somewhere else.
He replied that he had examined theroad, but that he had not seen
the mark of the wheels. Hesaid that the first to arrive at the
place after I discovered the body,were two men working in the slaughterhouse across
the street. They said they didn' t know anything about the matter and
they didn' t hear any screams. One of the men working at the

(14:03):
slaughterhouse was called to testify. HenryTom Kins was questioned about his remarks on
the morning of the murder.“It is your noisy work, No,
sir, very quiet,” Tompkinsreplied. Someone came to the slaughterhouse.
No one happened that night except thecop. The coroner, wanting to explore

(14:24):
any possibility, continued with this lineof questioning. Then he did not see

a soul from 1 (14:28):
00 a m on Friday until 4
m, when the policeman passed throughhis slaughterhouse. No, sir, you
heard a vehicle pass through the slaughterhouse, asked a member of the jury.
No, sir, I would haveheard if there had been one. Yes,
sir, the only decision in thepolice procedure revealed by the coroner concerned

(14:48):
the treatment of Marianne Nichols' sbody upon arrival at the cadaver depot.
Inspector John Spratling said he heard aboutthe murder at 4: 30 in the
morning. He went to the crimescene where they showed him the place,
where the body had been found.He then went to the cadaver depot where

(15:09):
he inspected the body. He notedthat the victim was dirty and that it
appeared that he had not been washedfor a long time before the murder.
The next time he saw the body, he had been stripped of his clothes.
The investigating judge asked whether the twoworkers had been ordered to strip the
body. Inspector Spratling denied giving thatorder. In fact, I told them

(15:33):
to leave it the way it was. This was denied by the morgue manager
at Why Chapel, who testified thathe had arrived there at five o'
clock in the morning. He saidthat he had taken a quick look at
the body and that he had closedthe body deposit and kept the keys.
When asked if the police were presentwhen the two lithes of a hospice later

(15:54):
stripped the body, he replied no. There was no one present. He
denied that he had Beran. Saidno one should touch the body. Like
Baxter, he considered it important toknow the condition of the victim' s
clothes, and ordered that they bebrought to court. He asked inspectors Pratlin
whether the Corsé bandages were subject tothe body. When he first saw the

(16:15):
victim in the morgue, the inspectorcouldn' t remember whether or not they
were. He stated that there wasblood on the dress and also on the
coat vest. The underwear was markedwith blood. He expressed doubts as to
whether they had been stained before orafter removing the body of Rod Spratling bugs.

He also said that around 6: 00 a m he went to the (16:34):
undefined
scene of the murder, but thatthere was no blood. It is presumed
that after removing Mari Nichols' body, one of the local residents washed the
street. Along with Sergeant Gotley,he toured the railway lines of East London
and the Near District. They didn' t find any evidence. They spoke

(16:56):
to a grey easter watchman, RayWade, whose post was about 50 meters
away from Row bugs, said hehad heard nothing out of the ordinary.
That night, Spratling interviewed about halfa dozen people living near the crime scene.
None of them had heard anything outof the ordinary. Inspector Spratling arrived
in White Chappel from the J Divisionbased in Bethnal Green at the time of

(17:21):
the murder of Mary Nichols. Spratlingwas forty- eight years old and an
18- year- old veteran ofthe metropolitan police. He had ascended to
the rank of inspector, serving invarious divisions until he reached Bethnal Green in
one thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven. As a trained police veteran.
Spratling seems to have done an exemplaryjob in his investigation immediately after Mary Nichols

(17:45):
' death. By the time ofthe murder of Mary Nicholes, the metropolitan
police, founded at 1, 802, had become a professional organization. He
replaced the rather irregular system of vigilantebailiffs and volunteer soldiers who previously walked the
streets of London. In an effortto ensure public order and security. Sir

(18:08):
Robert Peelle, who promoted the lawon the creation of the police force in
Parliament, was remembered by the popularname of the police in Britain, Boubies.
The large urban area monitored by themetropolitan police force was such that,
for the sake of efficiency, itwas divided into neighbourhood divisions. Among the

(18:29):
first were division h was centered onWhite Chapel and had an office for local
police. A new branch of investigationof the metropolitan police was created in one
thousand eight hundred forty- two.One of his first cases was the one
popularly known as the horror of Bermontsey. In a thousand eight hundred forty-
nine, a marriage Frederick and MaryManning murdered their guest for dinner, Patrico

(18:53):
Connor, and buried his body underthe floor of his kitchen. When it
became clear that the criminal investigators wereon his trail, two leading detective sergeants
fled to track him down and hangedthem. In a thousand eight hundred and
seventy- eight, ten years beforethe murder of Mari Nichols in whayte Chapel,
the detective section was reorganized and renamedthe Criminal Investigation Department. John Spratling

(19:18):
was an experienced member of this department. At the time of the murder of
Mari Nichols, it appears that hebehaved and conducted his initial investigation of the
crime in an exemplary manner, usingthe police procedures available at that time,
such as the recording of crime sceneobservations and the search for witnesses in the
vicinity. Many of the refinements offorensic science, such as the use of

(19:44):
fingerprints and the analysis of blood spatter, had not yet been adopted by the
police. The press soon spread thenews of the murder of Mari Nichols.
The story was especially intriguing because thecrime took place shortly after the murder of
Marta Tabram on August 7, 1880. The murder of Emma Elizabeth Smith in

(20:07):
April of 1880 was also fresh inthe memory of White Chapel residents. A
prostitute. M Smith was assaulted withSanny in Brickleine in the early morning of
April 3. He escaped from hisattackers and returned with difficulty to his home
of Guests at 18 George Street Spitalfields, where he told the manager that he
had been assaulted and stolen by twoor three men. They convinced her against

(20:32):
her will to make her way toLondon hospital. He died there. The
investigation into his death stated that hehad been introduced with a blunt object into
his vagina. Inspector Edmund Raide ofDivision h reported on the investigation which included
a thorough search for clues and interviewswith literally hundreds of people. He learned

(20:53):
that Emma Smith was in the habitof leaving her lodging early at night,
the r regularly with a black eyeor other injuries. She explained that they
had occurred when they fell. Thisis the typical explanation that alcoholics offer to
explain their wounds. There is noindication that Smith was raped, but in

(21:14):
my research, a pathologist stated thathe believed that his death had been caused
by a blow to the abdomen witha blunt instrument. He reiterated that he
had no doubt that the damage tothe perineum caused by peritonitis had been the
immediate cause of death. Marta Tabranwho also lived from prostitution. He headed

(21:34):
for an alley on White Chapel HighStreet with his client, a soldier or
guard, whom he met at abar. His body was discovered on a
landing in a housing building the nextmorning, on August 7, 1,
880. She had been stabbed thirty- nine times in the neck, torso,
and genitalia. The case fell againto Inspector Edmund Rade, who studied

(21:57):
the crime scene in and between sightof potential witnesses and suspects, A round
- up of the various suspects wasorganized for inspection by one of Tabraham'
s prostitutes. She was the lastone to see the victim at the bar
I couldn' t identify anyone onthe recon wheel as Tabran' s client.

(22:18):
The investigation into Tabran' s deathconcluded with the jury' s verdict
of murder by an unknown person orpersons. Inspector rode wanted the investigating judge
to note that he was still makinginquiries into the case. These two previous
murders were mentioned in the news aboutthe murder of Mary Nichols. Speculations about
the connection of the three murders increasedas the press and the public craved sensational

(22:41):
gloom. A newspaper reported that MariNichols was completely dead when she was found.
His wounds were described in great detail. In addition to the throat wound,
the lower part of the abdomen wascompletely open with glosses of intestines protruding
extended almost to his chest and musthave been performed with a large knife.

(23:03):
The news report continued to repeat thebloody details of the state of Mari Nichols
' body. The knife was nailedto the lower abdomen and wildly dragged up
twice, one cutting the groin andleft hip, and the other slitting the
abdomen to the sternum. The articleends with the statement that this is the

(23:25):
third brutal murder in the area.The writer stressed that the police believed that
the author should be a fierce maniac. Paul Bad Gazette began by linking the
murder of Tabrahm and Nichols. Ithas barely had time to calm down the
horror and sensation caused by the discoveryof the murdered woman in Whaychapel. A

(23:45):
journalist recently wrote when an even moreshocking murder occurred. The brutality exercised on
the victim of the second murder saidthe report will create a sensation as great
in the neighborhood as his pre Aftera gruesome description of Marincholsengamorgue' s body,
the report raised the level of sensationalisticdelight by telling readers as the corpse

(24:10):
lies in the morgue presents a frighteningspectacle. On September 1, the Daily
News published an in- depth articleabout the murder of Mari Nichols. It
offers a more or less accurate descriptionof the finding of the body and its
state in the morgue. It includesthe suggestion that the police have no theory
about the matter, except that somekind of Hey Rive gang exists in the

(24:32):
neighborhood. It is said that thegang demanded what we would call today money
for protection from street women. Theywere said to take revenge on those who
refused to pay. According to thearticle, the police developed their theory about
the gang based on the fact thattwo other women had been murdered in the
district by means similar to those ofMari Nichols. Three days later, the

(24:55):
Daily News reported that Detective Inspector Averlineof the Department of Criminal Investigation and Detective
Inspector Helson of the J Division hadabandoned the idea that the murders were gang
- related and that the three murdershad been perpetrated by a single man.
The current describers of Jagg, theRipper, do not usually attribute the murders

(25:18):
of Smith in April of 1,eight hundred and eighty- eight and of
Tabran in August of the same yearto his series of murders. However,
some believe that the attacks on Smithand Tabran may have been the work of
the Ripper. The fact that theydiffer in various respects from the so-
called five canonical murders of the Ripperdoes not rule out him as the perpetrator.
They may have been preliminary to theirvile murders. In full chapter two.

(25:48):
The killing continues the second murder.Annie Chapman was born as elisan Smithan
Paddington and one thousand eight hundred forty, according to her brothers, Ann,
at an early age, developed apassion for alcohol. Her family members convinced
her to commit herself to refraining fromdrinking, but she regularly fell off the

(26:10):
wagon. Annie was described as agood woman. She was smart and sociable,
a small and attractive woman. Hehad blue eyes and dark brown hair,
which earned him Annie' s nicknameand the dark one. At the
age of twenty- eight, hemarried John Chapman, a maternal relative.
They had three children, one ofwhom had birth defects. They put him

(26:33):
in the care of an institution.His third son died of meningitis at the
age of 12. Both parents beganto drink too much. Anne was arrested
for public poisoning on several occasions.In one thousand eight hundred and eighty-
four, the Chapmans separated because ofAnnie’ s intoxication habits of immorality.
Shortly thereafter, John, who keptAnnie on monthly payments, died of alcohol

(26:57):
- related causes. Annie lived ina guest house on way Chapel. He
made a living doing crochet antimacets,selling flowers, and apparently supplementing his income
by practicing prostitution. Annie Chapman's body was discovered by a resident of
a housing building at twenty- nineHanbury Street. John David lowered the steps

(27:22):
of the back door and saw awoman lying in a gap between the stone
steps and a fence. He wason his back with his head towards the
house and his legs towards the shed. The clothes reached up to the English
said the tenant. He returned tothe house and went out the front door,
where he approached two men outside anearby tent. He made them see

(27:45):
the body he had discovered. Oneof them ran out to look for the
police at the police station to eaton the Street, where Inspector Joseph Chandler
was informed of the crime. Chandlerrushed to the crime flax site, evicted
a dense crowd of curious people andcalled the local police surgeon. By telegram,

(28:06):
Detective Inspector Frederick Averline of Scottland YarChandler was informed that Annie Chapman'
s body was lying on his back. His hands and face were covered with
blood and his legs were bent.His black coat and skirt were up on
his legs. Annie Chapman had beenslaughtered, gutted and pulled a thread of

(28:30):
intestine over her shoulder. Inspector Chandlerinvestigated the scene. Prior to the arrival
of the police surgeon, Dr GeorgeBaxter Phillips, there were no apparent signs
of struggle, although blood spatters werefound on the fence and some splashes were
seen on the wall of the house, Dr Phillips declared the victim dead.

(28:52):
His body was moved to the morgue. On September 19th, 1880, Mr
Waine Bauxs convened a forensic investigation intoAnnie Japman' s death. The jury
was taken to the cadaver depot onMontague Street, where they inspected the body,
which had been prepared in such away that most of the horrible injuries

(29:15):
were hidden. They also examined theclothing worn by the deceased after meeting again
in the library of the Working LadsInstitute. The jury heard John Davis'
testimony about his discovery of the bodyAmelia Palmer, who had identified the body
as Annie Chapman was called. Hesaid he had seen the deceased two or
three times during the previous week.On one occasion he was standing on the

(29:40):
street opposite thirty- five Dorsell Street. She had been lodged there and had
no opposite capo. He had ahematoma in one of the hundred. I
think on the right I told herhow you did it. He said yes,
look at my chest opening his dressshowed me a bruise. The witness
reported that she had seen Anne againon the afternoon of September 7 as the

(30:02):
woman seemed ill. Amelia Palmer suggestedyou go to the hospital. Annie said
it' s useless for me toleave. I' ll have to go
somewhere to get money to pay formy accommodation. The witness said that was
the last time she saw Annie Chapmanand added that she was a very hardworking
woman. When I was sober,I' ve often seen her worse for

(30:23):
drinking. The man in charge ofa guest house at number thirty- five
Dorseth Street, Timothy Donovan, wascalled to the stand. He said that
the night of the murder he hada conversation with Annie Chapman. She said
she didn' t have money fora bed. He asked her to keep
one for him. I wouldn't be out long and I' d

(30:45):
be back with the necessary eightpence.This happened around two to ten in the
morning. Donovan said Kenny Chapman thenheaded for Bouchfield Street. As for the
state of the deceased Donovan, shetold the jury of instruction she seemed sober
because she walked in a straight child. He said Saturdays were often worse because

(31:07):
of the drink. Donovan' stestimony was confirmed by the night watchman at
the guest house, who was awareof Annie' s conversation and movements in
the house. On the third dayof the investigation, on September 13,
1880, the first witness called bythe investigating judge was Inspector Joseph Chandler.

(31:27):
He said that when he arrived atthe crime scene, he found that no
one in the crowd had touched thebody when the body was removed, inspected
the scene and found a piece ofmuslin and a comb in a case,
near where the victim' s feethad been. He also found near where
his head had been an envelope withtwo pills. The next exchange between the

(31:51):
inspector and the coroner is indicative ofthe seriousness of the investigation into the crime.
When asked about the writing of theenvelope, the coroner asked if it
was a man' s handwriting.I guess so. Chandler said, some
postage stamp. There was a Londonpostage stamp, August 3, 1980.
That was red. There was anotherblack seal that was indistinct, some other

(32:15):
mark on the envelope There were alsosp letters below, as if someone had
written spietal Field. The other partwas gone. There were no other marks.
They found something else in the yard. There was a leather apron lying
in the patio saturated with water.It was half a metre from the tap.

(32:35):
They showed it to the doctor.Yeah, there was also a box
like the ones usually used by boxmakers to store nails. It was empty.
There was also a flat steel piecethat has since been identified by Mrs
Richardson as the spring of her son' s legs. Where that was found
was close to where the body hadbeen. The apron and the nail box

(32:59):
have also been identified by her asowned by her. The courtyard was roughly
paved with stones in some parts.In others it was land. There was
some appearance of struggle there. No. Inspector Chandler was questioned about the custody
and integrity of the evidence found nextto the victim' s body. He

(33:21):
said he went to the cadaver warehouse. Shortly after seven in the morning.
The body seemed undisturbed. He puta police officer in charge of the division
h together with the mortuary carer aRobert Marney, intern of the Whaite Chapelle
Jr. World House. Two womenfrom a thirty- five guest house on
Dorsd Street were admitted to identify thedeceased. They looked but didn' t

(33:46):
touch the clothes. The door waslocked. Two nurses from the infirmary went
in to undress the body No oneelse touched the body The coroner took the
opportunity to complain that White Chapel's body deposit was nothing but an asylum
shed. He pointed out with angerthat an inmate of the hospice is not

(34:06):
of the right man to deal witha body in such an important matter as
this. George Baxter Phillips, apolice division surgeon, stated that he was

called Hanbury Street, around 6: 30. He examined the body at the (34:15):
undefined
crime scene. He observed that thehead was about fifteen centimeters ahead of the
lower step. The feet pointed towardsa shed at the end of the courtyard.
His left arm was crossing his leftchest and his legs were collected.

(34:37):
Feet resting on the ground and kneesturned outwards. He described the victim'
s face as swollen and turned tothe right side. Her tongue stood out
slightly and was very swollen. Thesmall intestines and other portions were on the
right side of the body, onthe ground above the right shoulder, but
united. Phillips observed that there wasa lot of blood and that part of

(35:01):
the victim' s stomach was abovehis left shoulder. His search in the
courtyard confirmed Chandler' s testimony.Phillips saw a small piece of muslin,
a comb and a pocket comb ina paper case. He thought these objects
had been placed next to the railing. He reported that he had also discovered

(35:22):
other items he handed over to thepolice. Dr. Phillips examined the body
at the scene of the events.It was cold, except there was some
heat left under the intestines. Thestiffness of the limbs was said incipient.
The victim' s throat had beensevered. The doctor observed that the incision

(35:42):
of the skin was irregular and reachedthe neck. He described the blood spatter
on the back wall of the house, about three inches from the ground.
In addition, there were blood stainson the wooden fence next to the victim
' s head. He reported thatnear where the victim lay, a folded
wet leather apron was found. DrPhillips, in response to the coroner'

(36:07):
s interrogation, stated that the victimdied as a result of the blood loss
caused by the throat cut. Hethought the same instrument had been used to
cut the throat and lacerate the abdomen. It must have been a very sharp
knife, probably with a thin,narrow blade and at least fifteen to twenty
centimeters long. When asked if theinstrument could have been a military bayonet,

(36:30):
the doctor replied with a simple no. He was then asked if the instrument
could have been like the one usedby a doctor in an autopsy. Phillips
said that, usually, an autopsydoesn' t use a weapon like the
employee with Annie Chapman. The Forensicasked whether a slaughterhouse worker or a shoemaker
could use such a knife in theirwork. The doctor thought not. The

(36:55):
coroner reached the crucial point of hisinterrogation, s about the author of this
crime. There was some anatomical knowledgeshown. Phillips said. I think there
was. There were signs of it. The person was evidently prevented from making
a more complete dissection as a resultof the haste. The whole body was

(37:15):
there. The coroner continued there andthe doctor did not respond. The missing
parts were from the abdomen. Itis these portions that would require anatomical knowledge
to extract them. I think theway they were extracted did prove some anatomical
knowledge. The police surgeon thought so. Completing his testimony, Dr Phillips said

(37:38):
the bruises on the victim' sface could have been caused by the killer
having grabbed his chin before he killedher. The speed of this action probably
made the victim not scream before shewas killed. On the fourth day of
the investigation, Dr Phillips was calledto the stand. He said he didn

(37:58):
' t want to make a descriptionof the horrible injuries suffered by the victim
in a public domain matter. Hesaid the killer might have taken up to
a quarter of an hour to makethe incisions on the body and remove the
parts he took. He answered aquestion about the similarity between the wounds suffered
by Mari Nichols and those revealed byAnnie Chapman' s body. The surgeon

(38:22):
said there was a small difference betweenthe two. He believed that in Mari
Nichols' case, the mutilations inthe abdomen had preceded the throat cut,
which Dr. Phillips didn' twant to argue in the open court was
included in the coroner' s summary. The jury told them that Annie Chapman
had removed the rings from her fingersand they didn' t find them and

(38:44):
that they had taken her uterus.The body has not been dissected, but
the versions have been made by someonewho had considerable anatomical skills and knowledge.
All the cuts in the body weremade by someone who knew where to find
it, who wanted difficulties he wouldhave to face and how to use his

(39:04):
knife to remove the organ without glessingit. The coroner' s conclusion was
that an inexperienced person would not haveknown where to find the uterus or recognize
it if he found it. Therefore, the killer must have been used to
the postmortem room. Themotive for the crime, the coroner said,
was not theft, but mutilation.The theft of some brass rings was

(39:25):
by itself, said an undisguised blind, an attempt to prevent the discovery of
the true Baxter intention, the coronerwent even further, whether it was his
intention or if he did not provideeven more raw material for public inquiry.
Clearly, there is a market forthe object of the murder. Within hours

(39:47):
of the publication of the morning newspaperscontaining a report of the medical evidence presented
at the last session of the Tribunal. He received a communication from an official
from one of our great medical schools. The subconservator of the Pathological Museum said
the coroner had approached him and hadtold him that a few months ago an

(40:09):
American had visited him and had askedhim to get him a series of specimens
of the missing organ in the deceased. He declared himself willing to give twenty
pounds each and explained that his purposewas to issue a real copy with each
copy of a publication in which hewas then committed. The American asked that

(40:30):
if such specimens should be preserved notin wine spirits the usual medium, but
in gliserine to remain flaccid. Thenthe coroner concluded. It is not possible
that the knowledge of this demand hasprompted some unfortunate abandoned to take a specimen.

(40:50):
Baxter urged the authorities to work quicklyto arrest the killer, whom he
also held responsible for the murders ofMarta Tabran and Mary Nicholes. Surely it
' s not too much to expectthe ingenuity of our detective force to dig
up this monster. He felt hisoptimism about the capture of the killer was

(41:12):
premature. I thought it wasn't like there was no clue as to
the character of the criminal or thecause of his crime. Baxter continued to
clarify this, saying that the killer' s object is clearly disclosed. His
anatomical skill takes him out of thecategory of common criminal, as his knowledge
could only have been obtained by attendingautopsies or attending the autopsy room. Baxteer

(41:37):
referred to Elizabeth Long' s testimony, borrowed on the fourth day of the
investigation. She had told the Tribunalthat around 5: 30 a m on
8 September she had passed through the29th number of Hambury Street, had seen
a man and a woman speaking.She had seen the woman' s face
and identified her as the victim sheinspected at the neck. The man described

(42:01):
him as being more than forty yearsold and somewhat taller than the deceased.
He thought he looked like a foreignerand described him as looking scruffy in a
brown stalker hat and a dark coat. This man, who the coroner implied
was the murderer, was a murdererwhose motives were even less appropriate than the

(42:22):
many who still dishonor our civilization,spoil our progress and stain the pages of
our Christendom. On September 26,1880, the jury issued the verdict that
the murder had been committed by anunknown person or persons. While the investigation

(42:43):
was taking place, Annie Chapman wasburied. A Spitalfields funeral parlor organized a
private funeral service paid for by thedeceased' s family. Before the body
was taken to the London City Cemeteryand buried there The ceremony was described in
the Daily Telegrave of September 15.Anni Chapman' s funeral took place yesterday

(43:06):
morning, having observed the utmost secretand no one but the gravedigger, the
police and the relatives of the deceasedknew anything about the preparations. It was
reported that shortly after seven o'clock, a hearse stopped in front of
the funeral home on Montage Street andthe body was quickly removed. At nine

(43:28):
o' clock he left for ManorPark Cemetery. No carriages were used because
it was desired not to attract theattention of the public. This can be
inaccurate. Another source says there weretwo mourning cars in the courtship. In
them went Nichols' father, herhusband, and three of his sons.
The elm coffin, covered in black, came down to the ground in the

(43:49):
cemetery. Carried the words Annie Chapmandied on September 8th of a thousand eight
hundred and eighty- eight, forty- eight years old. The secret the
newspaper described about Mari Nichols' funeralwas necessary because the public interest in Nichols
' murder was fueled by information fromthe coroner' s investigation into Annie Chapman.

(44:10):
Both crimes were believed to be thework of the same murderer who had
dispatched Marta Tabraham. Several newspapers reportedin great detail the murder of Anni Chapman
and the subsequent investigation. The followingare typical. On Saturday at 6:
15 a m, White Chapel's neighborhood was horrified to a degree that

(44:31):
panicked at the discovery of another barbaricmurder of a woman, and White Chapel
' s heinous murders remain the subjectof conversation that absorbs everything in the ITS
and any new news or even vaguerrumor is eagerly received a sample of excerpts
from the article in the popular press. It is indicative of the sensationalization of

(44:57):
extremely horrific crimes to describe the horrificseries of White Chapel murders. One reporter
said that Annie Chapman' s shatteredremains had been arranged around her in a
way that suggested a delight in thekilling. For the slaughter there can no
longer be any doubt. The pressclaimed that this is some form of evil

(45:19):
madness. No person could kill atthese risks and for these gains with some
sense of purpose in their actions.As a purpose is known to the sane,
a monster is on the outside andthe police continued to find for us
one of the most extraordinary monsters knownfor the history of mental and spiritual illness,

(45:43):
a monster whose skull will have tobe melted for every surgical museum in
the world. No other theory isadmissible. By the end of the 19th
century, British newspapers were immersed ina virtually unstoppable competition. The rise in
literacy and the unprecedented growth of theurban population meant that more and more people

(46:06):
were on the market to be exploitedand trapped by the breathless prose. Improved
communications through telegraph enabled coverage of eventsto be current. The journalistic writing became
more and more agile, providing easyreading to a voracious audience of news.
With Why Chapel' s murders,the public' s interest was fueled by

(46:30):
increasingly sensationalist stories. The several dozenLondon newspapers took different approaches in reporting on
crimes. Some, like the currentBritish tabloids, did not care about the
accuracy of their stories and often resortedto gossip when the police did not provide
enough juicy details. Hyperbole was necessaryin a battle for circulation. The more

(46:57):
the newspapers exalt the public, themore savage the hysteria they incite becomes.
This hysteria became the forage for evenmore fantastic information. The murders of the
Ripper, in his first demonstration,in street conversations and in those of beverage
establishments and restaurants frequented by the lowerclasses, were in a sense the beginning

(47:17):
of the world of murder. Asentertainment. In more educated establishments, where
the upper classes met, such asclubs and racetracks, more rare conversations about
crimes could take place, but theresults were the same. In fact,
almost everyone in whayte Chapel and inthe square mile known as the Ciri of

(47:40):
London and the richest districts of metropolitanLondon, had something to say about the
Ripper. Many of them shared theirthoughts with the newspapers. One newspaper reported
that the press has been flooded withletters from residents in East London, offering
their jerns and advice and drawing morallessons from the abuses, all more or

(48:02):
less right. A local surveillance committeemet at Crown Tavern. They called for
funds to be raised for a rewardfor the capture of the perpetrator of these
violent crimes. The hysteria spread quickly. No doubt she was awakened by the
posters with rugged images placed in huhaytechapelby groups of concerned citizens. The crowds

(48:28):
gathered in front of the police stationto shout and boo those who entered and
left the building to be interrogated,many of them for minor crimes that had
nothing to do with the murders Theyconglomerate rumors about each person who, as
they say today, helped the policein their investigations. The audience was more
agitated. Detectives found the potential ownerof the leather apron discovered at Chapman'

(48:52):
s crime scene. John Peter,was arrested and taken to the police station
for questioning. Several sharp knives oflong blade were found in his house.
He denied that the leather apron washis. His neighbors came out in his
defense and said he was a harmlesscharacter and that he could not be related
to the White Japel murders was released. The mystery of the bent and wet

(49:16):
apron found near Annie Japman' sbody was finally solved by the police.
John Richardson, the son of awoman living on the first floor of the
29th Hambury Street, showed up andsaid it was hers, used it to
work in the basement of the houseand had washed it and left it out
to dry another man. John HenryPigot, was brought before the inspector to

(49:40):
Berline in division H and was interrogated. Dressed in bloody clothes. He had
been seen in a graven tavern along way from White Chapelle. Pigot provided
the police with an incredible and unverifiablestory about how the clothes had been stained
with blood. From this and hisbehavior in the cells, he was determined

(50:04):
to be insane and sent to WhiteChapel' s infirmary. According to the
press it has been suggested that heis faking madness, but the doctors who
have examined him are of the oppositeopinion. If there was no yapanic in
the Whitechapel neighborhood, things were goingto get much worse. Just four days
after the coroner' s jury issuedhis edict. In the Chapman case,

(50:25):
another vicious murder was committed in Douthfieldsand chapter three. Elizabeth Stride' s
killer, the next victim of whatthe Londoners came to believe was a cruel
serial killer, was Elizabeth Stride hadarrived in England from Sweden in one thousand

(50:46):
eight hundred sixty- six and marriedJohn T Stride in one thousand eight hundred
sixty- nine. They had ninechildren before they separated in one thousand eight
hundred eighty- two. In athousand eight hundred and eighty- four,
John Stride died and Elizabeth, alsoknown as Long Gles, moved with a
worker, Michael Kidney. From therecord of his arrests and convictions for disturbing

(51:09):
public order, which were more thaneight, his life entered a spiral of
disorder. In September 1880, helived in an accommodation financed by the then
- known philanthropist Dr. Thomas Bernardo. On the evening of September 29,
Elizabeth Stride was seen by several people, first in a tavern the Briglayer Ssarms.

(51:32):
And then, in the early morningof September 30, in the vicinity
of Bernard Street, a fruit merchant, Matthew Backer, saw her walking with
a man shortly before midnight. Hesold some grapes to the man. In
a later statement to the police,he described the man as between twenty-
five and thirty years old. Hesaid he was measuring one seventy meters high

(51:54):
and wearing a black coat and asoft felt hat. Another witness, Israel
Schwart, said that at about twelvethirty hours he saw a man talking to
Elizabeth Shide at the Dulfitz gate.Yard reported that the man had pushed him
to the ground and shouted at him. Lipsky. This ethnic insult became fashionable

(52:14):
in the area. After Israel's murder trial. Lipsky was convicted for
forcing a pregnant girl to drink.He was nitric and was sent to the
gallows in August of one thousand eighthundred and eighty- seven. Lipsky'
s trial, which the jury decidedin just eight minutes, was involved in
the controversy over the role of anti- Semitism in the process. The last

(52:37):
person who saw Elizabeth Shride alive couldhave been police officer William Smith, who

saw her near the door of Dudhfield' s courtyard at 12 (52:40):
30.
Around one in the morning, ajewelry salesman, Louis Game Schutz, returned
home at number forty on the street. Berner lived in an apartment provided by
the administrator of the International Working OrEducational Club. In that direction he pulled

(53:02):
his Ponis car into Duthfield' senclosed courtyard, in the back of the
club. Suponny refused to pass thetwo open doors and walked away because of
something that alarmed him. Shuth appliedthe whip, but the cart hit an
object, got down and with thelight of a match, discovered a woman
' s body. She thought shewas drunk. He entered the club through

(53:25):
the back door and asked for thehelp of two friends, Morry Diagle and
Isaac Mkozedrowsky. The three men examinedthe body, determined that it had been
slaughtered and that it was dead.Later they said that they had touched his
body and that it was quite hot. Two policemen who patrolled nearby were called

(53:46):
to the scene. A Dr WilliamBlackwell, who lived nearby and showed up
at the site at Uni Quince,was called to the conclusion that the victim
had been dead for no more thantwenty minutes. Dr Phillip Is, a
police surgeon, was also called.It turned out to be a busy night
for the police pretty much. Atthe same time as Dr. Phillips was

(54:07):
conducting a preliminary examination of Elizabeth Stride' s body in the London Cyril.
At a distance from White Chapel,another body was discovered in alt Gate in
Mitres Quare. On October 1,1880, the investigating judge, Wayne Baxter,
gathered the witnesses of a twenty-four- person investigative jury at the
Bestrey Hall of St George' sChurch of the East. They were to

(54:34):
examine the death of an unidentified woman. It was soon confirmed that the subject
of the investigation was Elizabeth Schrde.The jury first adjourned to go see the
body in the morgue. Throughout thehearing, Detective Inspector Raid of Division h
The first witness, named Williams WestBeing Jewish, affirmed the veracity of his
testimony. Instead of swearing on theBible to describe Working Mens Education Club as

(55:00):
a group of seventy- five toeighty members. It was a socialist group
that he said could be joined byanyone from any nation. However, membership
was almost exclusively Jewish. He wasthe printer of society and worked in a
shop bordering Douthfield. Jard entered thecourtyard shortly after 12: 15 and saw

(55:22):
that the doors were open, hedid not see the body or anyone else.
His testimony was followed by that ofMorris Eagle, a member of society
who passed through the courtyard at oneto twenty. He didn' t see
any bodies in the yard. Lewisdem Schout was called to the stand.
He said he went back to theclub at exactly 1: 00 a m

(55:44):
on Sunday. Then he related thediscovery of the body. He entered the
club and told some of the membersthat he had found a body in the
courtyard. He obtained a candle tobe able to inspect the deceased in more
detail, but stated that he hadnot touched the body. Then he ran
out to call the police, butfound none. When Morry Zeggle returned and

(56:06):
two agents were inspecting the body.He told the investigating jury that he hadn
' t seen anyone in the yard, but he agreed that someone could have
walked through the door without him knowing. Detective Inspector Raide interrupted to say that
all members of the club had subsequentlybeen arrested and that they had been searched

(56:27):
and interrogated. The second day ofthe investigation, Agent Henry Ln of division
h was called. He and anotheragent were called to the scene by a
group of screaming men. Come on, there' s been another murder.
He saw a woman with her throatcut. Apparently she was dead. He
immediately sent for a doctor. Hestated that he had not touched the body.

(56:52):
Blackwell was the first doctor to showup at the crime scene. He
examined the body and the surroundings.Soon after, Dr or Filis arrived.
Officer lm ordered the doors of thecourtyard to be closed and examined the hands
and clothes of all members of theclub who had gone out to the courtyard.
To observe he was asked yes,when inspecting the club he had found

(57:14):
blood replied no. He said that, in his opinion, someone might have
escaped the place through the open doorbefore he arrived or entered through the back
door of the club and walked outthe entrance to the street. Edward Spuner
explained that he ran to the sceneof the events when he was raised by
the call for murders of members ofthe Working Mans Educational club running down the

(57:38):
street, described what he saw.He said he didn' t touch the
body. When asked if he believedthat someone in the crowd surrounding the body
had moved him. He was interruptedby the jury president, who said,
as a rule, the Jews donot care to touch the corpses. The
next witness was somewhat bewildered by theenvironment of the Mary Malcoln tribe, saying

(58:01):
that he had gone to the morgueand that the body was that of his
sister, Elizabeth Watts, thirty-seven years old. She told a long
story about her relationship with her sister, a troubled woman who drank and cheated
on her husband. He claimed tohave had a premonition of his sister'
s death. When questioned by thecoroner, she described in detail her vision

(58:22):
of her sister' s death.Dr Black Well described what he found at
the scene of the events on hisarrival at one and sixteen in the morning.
The deceased' s body was prettyhot, but her hands were cold.
His dress was unbuttoned. In hisneck he had in his hand a
pack of mints, some of whichhad been spilled on the ground. The

(58:44):
neck of the deceased was cut withan incision that began on the left side,
two inches below the jaw angle andcassin direct line with her, neatly
severing all the vessels on that side, cutting the trachea completely in two and
ending on the opposite side, aninch below the right jaw angle It was
on the third day of the investigationthat the deceased was firmly identified. A

(59:09):
guest house manager, Elizabethanner, saidshe had inspected the body at the morgue
and recognized it as that of LongGles, a Swedish woman. The night
before the murder, they both metand drank together at the Queens Head and
then went home. Long Glis hadcleaned a room for Elizabethanner and given her

(59:31):
six pence for her work. Heleft the guest house without paying for his
room at night. She was wearingthe same clothes Elizabethanner saw on her body
at the morgue. Other witnesses werecalled to confirm that the deceased was Long
Les. The last witness in thisline of investigation was Michael Kidney, who
said he had been living from timeto time with the deceased and that his

(59:53):
name was Elizabeth shlde Kidney, portworker. He seems to have enjoyed the
you he received. In response toa question about whether he knew anyone who
wanted to hurt Elizabeth Stride, hesaid he believed the police were to blame
for not catching his killer. Hehad gone to Leman Street Police Station and

(01:00:13):
offered to give them information to catchthe man. He admitted he was drunk.
They turned him down. Even afterbeing pressured by the coroner and Detective
Wright Michael Gidnet refused to disclose hisalleged information. The coroner took testimony about
the discovery of a knife near thecrime scene. It turned out to be

(01:00:35):
a false clue and that kind ofknife wasn' t the type that could
have broken the wound suffered by thedeceased. The knife had no blood residue
and it was pretty dry. Whenmuch more was discovered to the point and
back to the significant testimonies, Dr. Phillips. He described the body he
examined in Duthfield jar in great detail. He also reported on the autopsy performed

(01:00:57):
by himself. With the help ofDr. Blag Geert, they stripped the
body and discovered that it was quitenourished. His description of the neck wound
was accurate. On the neck fromleft to right there is a clean cut
incision six inches in length, incisionstarting two and a half inches in a
straight line below the jaw angle.He continued his description of the neck wound

(01:01:21):
for the Tribunal silently passed three quartersof an inch over the undivided muscle.
Then it went deeper about an inch, dividing the sheath and the vessels.
The carotid artery on the left sideand the other vessels contained in the sheath
were all cut, except for theportion of the carotid that was on the
poster. Dr Phillips presented the restof his testimony. The next day.

(01:01:45):
He categorically rejected the knife that hadbeen found nearby. As a possible murder
weapon he had the wrong shape andtype of knife. Once this point was
ruled out, the coroner asked somesharp questions that would have been of great
interest to the public and journalists presentat the hearing The doctor observed that whoever

(01:02:06):
killed the victim seems to have hadsome knowledge of where to cut his throat
to cause a fatal outcome. Thisled the coroner to ask if there was
any similarity between this case and AnnieChapman' s. Dr Phillips said they
were both very different. Chapman's neck had been cut all around him
and there seemed to have been anattempt to cut off the vertebrae. Phillips

(01:02:29):
' opinion, based on the absenceof blood spatter, was that Elizabeth Schride
had been murdered while she was onthe ground. He couldn' t comment
on why, apparently, he didn' t scream before he was killed.
To definitively establish the identity of thedeceased, the Secretary of the Swedish Church
of Prince Square was called, saidhe knew the victim and was on his

(01:02:51):
register of church members and had givenhim a book of hymns. The Secretary
didn' t know where Elizabeth Stridelived, either, or whether she was
married. After five full days oftestimony, the investigating judge presented his summary.
The jury, after a brief deliberation, concluded that an intentional murder had
occurred and that it had been committedby someone or persons unknown. Chapter four,

(01:03:22):
a second murder. On the nightof September 30, 1880, approximately
at the same time as Elizabeth Stride' s body was discovered in the courtyard
behind the International Working Mans Educational Club, another body was found in the City
of London in Mitre Square, notfar from all Gate High Street. The

(01:03:43):
distance between the crime scenes in gCity and White Chappell was less than a
mile that could be walked in aboutfifteen minutes. Mithre Square had three entrances,
a Mitre Street and two corridors connectingDug Street and Saint James Place.
The square was bordered by two sideswith warehouses. One of them had a
night watchman. On the other sideof the square there were houses that in

(01:04:08):
September of a thousand eight hundred andeighty- eight were mostly unemployed. Mitre
Square was on the patrol route ofthe Watkins people, of the London City
Police with his ox- eye lampcrossed the square at 1: 30 a
m. He saw nothing extraordinary whenhe returned to the unit forty- five

(01:04:29):
and found the body of a womanlying on the sidewalk of the southwest corner.
He later described the condition of thebody as if it had been slaughtered
like a pig on the market.His bowels were piled up near his neck.
Watkins rushed to one of the warehouses, where he asked the night watchman
for help. He sounded his whistleseveral times and reinforcements quickly appeared on the

(01:04:53):
scene. One of them was sentto Dr George Se Quiera, a local
resident. Or' s Inspector andDr. F. Gordon Brown, the
police guard surgeon, the Acting Commissionerof the London City Police, Major Henry
Smith, was sleeping at the SouthwarkPolice Station. Upon knowledge of the crime,

(01:05:15):
he went to the scene in ataxi with three agents hanging. On
the side, the London police weredivided between two authorities. One was responsible
for the police in a square milecalled La City. This force had its
own Commissioner and worked independently with themetropolitan police. The latter had jurisdiction over

(01:05:35):
the various districts surrounding Glassidy as Whitechapel, which formed Greater London. According to
some, the lack of cooperation betweenthe two police forces was what made it
difficult to investigate the murders of relatedprostitutes. This doesn' t seem to
be entirely true. On the scene, Acting Commissioner Smith took a look at

(01:05:57):
the unfortunate scene, a woman layon her back, her throat had been
cut. His dress was lifted,revealing his abdomen, which had been cut,
had a large cut on his faceand his cap was still attached to
his head. It was clear thatthe victim was dead, so the two
doctors present could do nothing but makesure that she was picked up by an

(01:06:20):
ambulance, a wheelbarrow and taken tothe morgue. It soon became known that
the victim was Catherine Eddowash, whohad given her name as Kate Kelly when
she was arrested the night before fordrunkenness. She had been picked up at
the Gate at twenty- thirty andtaken away by the police cells of Bishopsgate

(01:06:41):
Police Station, where she was helduntil Sobria was held, just after midnight
she demanded that she be released becauseshe could now stand up and walk the
search in the immediate vicinity of themurder was far more fruitful than in previous
cases. The police officer to AlfredLown soon found a piece of cloth on

(01:07:01):
Gooldstone Street, outside the Wentworth houses, was stained with blood and people thought
it seemed to have been used toclean the blade of a knife. In
the morgue. It had already beenobserved that a piece of the victim'
s apron had been roughly cut.Coinciding with the fragment of material found by

(01:07:24):
the long agent The perspicacious police alsofound something written with chalk on the wall
of the stairway of one of thegoold stone street residences. The lyrics were
from a rough hand. The fivelines said the Yuwes are the men who
won' t be blamed for anything. Agent Long reported his findings at the

(01:07:44):
Lemman Street Police Station and from thatmoment a conflict arose over the jurisdiction of
the police forces. A police detectivefrom the city of London was sent to
watch Woldson Street' s paintings.When he arrived, James mac william S,
a city police inspector, ordered thatthe writing be photographed as soon as
there was enough daylight to do so. This order was revoked by the Metropolitan

(01:08:09):
Police Commissioner, Sir Charles Warren.He arrived at the scene at 5 a
m and proceeded to introduce himself tothe case. The murder of Eddowas was
outside its jurisdiction. Warren ordered thatthe graffiti discovered by Agent Long be erased,
did not receive the cooperation of thecity police before there was enough light

(01:08:30):
to photograph the image. Warreng personallyerased the words, claiming that there would
have been a riot if the streettraders in the area ran into her at
dawn. Another lead on the crimewas discovered by two policemen tracking the area
on Dorcet Street. The inspectors founda public glababus that still had blood-

(01:08:54):
stained water. The optopsia of thebody of Catherine Eddowasts or Kate Kelly was
to perform the rha by Dr ereGordon Brown, with the assistance of Dr.
Sounders. Dr. Phillips from WhiteChapel. Golden Gleine funeral home in
town. The doctors observed the removalof clothes from the body. The body

(01:09:15):
had bruises on the left hand andon the right shin. In the arms.
There was no bruising. This suggestedto doctors that Eddowas had been killed
on the ground. A deep cutin the nose was observed that continued from
the cheek to the chin. Thetip of the nose was almost cut by
another cut. A third cut wasobserved on the upper lip that penetrated the

(01:09:36):
gums. Another cut had been madeon the side of the mouth and other
cuts opened the flesh of the cheeks. The victim' s throat had been
cut from under the left ear tounder the right ear. All blood vessels,
including the left carotid and jugular veinof the neck, were cut by

(01:09:58):
an incision that reached to the vertebrae. The doctors agreed that all other injuries
to the body were inflicted after thedeath of the victim. Doctors believe that,
after the death of the victim,his abdomen was cut from the pubis
to the sternum. The cut continuedto mark the skin on the sternum.
The doctors thought that the knife thatcaused these cuts was held so that the

(01:10:21):
tip was to the left and theknife handle to the right. The liver
had been stabbed and a second incisionhad been made in the liver. The
abdomen opened with a second cut ofthe knife, which was pulled to the
right. Upon examination, doctors determinedthat the left kidney had been cut off
from the renal artery. In addition, the membrane of the uterus was cut

(01:10:45):
and the matrix extracted. The investigationinto Catherine Eddowess' s death was held
at Golden Leine' s tanatorium onThursday, October 4. It was a
day when the investigation into Elizabeth Stride' s death in White Appelle was postponed
or so the court was full ofaudiences and journalists who would otherwise have been
looking for entertainment in the gruesome detailsof a murder. The first witness was

(01:11:11):
Elisa goth, the sister of deceasedCatherine Eddowesth She said Catherine, who was
about forty- three years old,had been living with a Mr Kelly.
After leaving another man with whom hehad two children. He told the coroner
that he had seen his sister andMr Kelly about four weeks ago and that
they seemed to be in good relationships. John Kelly was called to the stand.

(01:11:33):
She said she had seen Katherine forthe last time at 2: 00
on Saturday afternoon and that she saidshe was going to see Montsey to look
for her daughter. He said hehadn' t seen her. Since then
she did not worry when she didnot return to her accommodation, because she
had heard that she was locked upin drunkenness at Bishopsgate. The details of

(01:11:54):
Kelly' s testimony reveal the precariouslives of the poor of the time.
Catherine and Kelly usually slept in aguest house where, as usual, they
paid for their beds. Every night. Kelly said they didn' t sleep
at the guest house. During theweek before, the murder explained that they
had gone to collect jumps and hadreturned to London on Thursday. Things didn

(01:12:16):
' t go well. With theiroccasional agricultural work they returned without money.
That night they both slept in whatwas called the occasional pavilion of the milland
workhouse Kelly said she had won sixpennies for a job. On Friday she
tried to give it to Catherine sayingtake Kate take four pence and go to

(01:12:36):
the foster home and I looked atMill Lend She refused and went to Milland
alone On Saturday morning, Kelly metCatherine at about eight in the morning.
He thought this was strange, asif she had been at Millen' s
work house, she would have hadto do three hours of work the next

(01:12:56):
morning. In exchange for his bed. She wondered if Kelly had any money
for pawning her boots, which,on the basis of pawnballs, was established
to have happened. Friday. Hewas asked if he had been drinking when
the effort took place. He saidyes. He admitted he was confused about
what happened on Friday and on Saturdayhe said Catherine never brought him any money.

(01:13:21):
When she was out at night,she testified that when they had no
money, they were both out onthe street all night, but she said
she thought she didn’ t goout for immoral purposes. Kelly testified that
when they separated on Saturday afternoon,Catherine was sober and that there was no
angry word among them. The guardianof the House of Guests, Flower and

(01:13:42):
Dean Streets was called to the stand. She corrected Kelly' s statement,
adding that Catherine was a cheerful womanand that neither she nor her partner Kelly
had the habit of drinking. Shesaid she had no knowledge that Cathering went
out at night for immoral purposes andhad not seen her with anyone but Kelly.
The jury asked him if any strangershad entered his guest house on Saturday

(01:14:04):
night. He presented his book ofaccounts showing that there were fifty- two
beds occupied on Saturday night. Sixof them were rented to strangers. Sometimes
he said he had more than ahundred people sleeping in the house, his
tenants paid for their beds and noquestions were asked. Dr. Frederic Gordon

(01:14:25):
Brown, a London City Police surgeon, was in charge of reporting on the
state of the deceased' s body. In the investigation of the investigating judge,
he was interrogated by Mr Crawford,a lawyer representing the city corporation responsible
for the police. I understand Crawfordsaid he found certain body parts removed.

(01:14:46):
Dr Brown claimed, saying that theuterus had been cut with the exception of
a small portion and that the leftkidney had also been removed. The coroner
led Brahma to speculate based on thewounds. If the killer had anatomical knowledge,
he must have had good knowledge.Pino Brown, as to the position

(01:15:08):
of the abdominal organs and the wayto remove them. Brown said that this
knowledge could have someone dedicated to killinganimals. However, he pointed out that
whoever did could have done the taskin at least five minutes, so he
knew there was no reason for thekiller to take the missing organs. In

(01:15:29):
addition, he stated that he believedthat there was no struggle and that the
crime could have been the work ofa single man declared the only witness who
had perhaps seen Catherine Eddowess just beforehis murder. He said he had been
standing on the street dug near MitreSquare, around 1: 30 a m.
He realized a couple were close,but he couldn' t see the

(01:15:51):
woman' s face. She hadher hand on the man' s chest.
He acknowledged that the clothes presented tohim at the NS body depot were
those of a woman he had seen. He began to describe the man,
but the coroner interrupted him by sayingthat he had a special reason not to
make a full description. At thattime the investigation ended and the jury issued

(01:16:12):
a verdict of murder by an unknownperson or persons. October five, one
thousand eight hundred and eighty- eight. In the police gazette, it was
announced to the public that the LondonCity Police would pay a reward of£
500, 000 for information leading tothe arrest and conviction of the murderer or
murderers of a woman in Mitresquare,Metropolitan Police Commissioner Warring ordered the printing of

(01:16:38):
ten zero leaflets asking for information onthe murders between August 30 and September 30.
He did not consider the previous murdersof Smith and Tabraham to be the
work of the same murderer. Followingthe incident in which Warren erased the graffiti
at the scene of the murder ofEddowas, the two independent police forces,

(01:16:59):
the City of London and the MetropolitanLondon, cooperated in their investigations. A
CIRIE liaison officer attended night meetings withthe metropolitan force at Lemman Street Station.
The news of White Chapel' smurders was temporarily diverted. On October 2,
1880, a woman' s torsowas found in the basement of a

(01:17:20):
building under construction for the metropolitan police. One right arm and one right hand
found. In September on the shoreof the Thames they coincided with the torso.
A right leg sectioned just above theknee was unearthed in the play.
These macabre discoveries were duly reported inthe press. It was speculated that Whitechapell

(01:17:43):
' s killer had begun moving westto the embankment of the Thames to commit
his crimes. Some journalists even suggestedthat the body had been thrown into the
scene to provoke Commissioner Warren for thefact that his police testing professional had made
a splash in the investigation of WhiteChapel' s murders. The newspapers and

(01:18:05):
politicians impatient at the lack of progressin the case began to ask for Warren
' s head. The police wereaccused of destroying evidence. The head of
the criminal investigation department, who atthe time of the White Chapel murders was
James Monroe, didn' t getalong with Warren. He was forced to

(01:18:25):
resign from office. He was replacedby Robert Anderson, he and Monroe,
who retained his position as head ofthe special division plotted behind Warren' s
back during the entire investigation of Whitechapel' s murders. Warren finally resigned from
his post in November 1, 808, and James Monroe was promoted to Commissioner.

(01:18:46):
In addition to the difficulties encountered inthe head office of the metropolitan police,
the problems faced by street officers andinvestigators in Whitechapel in newspaper articles were
compounded. It was reported that onOctober 3, a man with an American
accent was interrogated in connection with anassault on a woman on Cable Street.

(01:19:09):
He was a well- dressed,well- shaved, thin complexion guy.
He asked the woman to go withhim and, when he refused, told
him that he was going to destroyher The woman screamed and the man went
up a taxi. The police chasedhim and captured him. He was taken
to Leman Street station, where herefused to reveal his name. Another suspect
had already been taken to the policestation. He claimed to have collaborated in

(01:19:32):
the murder of Mitre Square. Hewas released because he was determined to suffer
from Delirium tremens. The American suspectappeared in another version of the story in
the press. It is likely thatboth versions were merely expanded stories from street
gossip. Chapter five, as theRipper gets in touch with the authorities.

(01:19:58):
Just before the Catherin News and ElizabethShtrade shoots, a letter was delivered to
the Central News Agency in London.It was dated September 25th and had kills
them two days later, the greetingsaid dear boss. The writer claimed that
he found it amusing that the policethought he was about to be located as

(01:20:20):
a female killer. He said hewas depressed about whores and he wouldn'
t stop tearing them apart until theycaught him. He promised that after his
next murder he would cut off thevictims' ears and send them to the
police. He signed the letter carefully. Jack the alarm clock, the Central

(01:20:41):
News Agency received a postmarked postcard fromOctober 1, the day after the murders
of Eddowest and Stride. He saidthat during the first of the two murders,
the victim squealed, so the writercould not finish the job. He
claimed he didn' t have timeto get the ears for the police.
The postcard was signed with capital lettersJack de Ripper. These communications were made

(01:21:08):
public until October 2. They raisedthe hysteria of the population to a high
point. The killer who called himselfJack the Ripper was going to send more
messages. One of his mocking communicationswas sent to the White Chappel Surveillance Committee.
The committee was set up on September10 to investigate and identify White Chappele

(01:21:29):
' s killer. Its members,whom the press called amateur detectives, conducted
some night patrols in the streets.Although the group of diverse business owners had
a chronic shortage of funds, theyhired two private detectives who were said to
be experts in unraveling mysteries. On16 October, Mr George Luisk, who

(01:21:53):
was chairman of White Chapelle' ssurveillance committee, received a package containing a
handwritten note stating that the package containedhalf a kidney. The writer said he
had fried and eaten. The otherhalf promised that he could send Luck the
knife he had used to remove thekidney if the gentleman waited a bit.

(01:22:14):
Luske and his committee, like thepolice, had already received several letters about
White Chapel' s murders, allof which were dismissed as jokes. However,
to make sure that this package wasreally a false clue, Luzk took
the contents to a local doctor.He assured them that the contents appeared to
be half a human kidney. Thekidney was handed over to the metropolitan police.

(01:22:39):
Dr. Frederick Brown, a policesurgeon, took him to London hospital
for consultation with Dr. Thomas oppenShaw, pathologist. Oppenshaw determined that he
belonged to a woman about forty-five years old who suffered from Bright'
s disease. It was thought thatthe remaining right kidney in Eddows' body,

(01:23:00):
as it also showed signs of bridedisease or nephritis. Jack' s
lightk gift. The ripper was neverdefinitively identified as coming from cathering ed West,
but it was a human organ.In Britain at the end of the
Victorian era. Like today, theidea of cannibalism was extremely abhorrent and was

(01:23:20):
a particularly delicious entertainment. The horrifyingepisodes of popular books on the adventures of
cheerful Englishmen in remote colonies inhabited byprimitive tribes invariably included cannibalism. For example,
stories were told about the head ofFiyi Rato of Udre, who was

(01:23:41):
said to have consumed eight hundred andseventy- two people. The writer r.
M. Balland Time delighted his youthfulaudience with his book The Coral Island
1, 80507, describing with bloodydetails the various ways in which the savages
of the South Pacific killed each otherand ate their enemies. Cannibalism at the

(01:24:02):
time of the Ripper' s murderswas considered as horrible as it is today.
Shortly after the results of the hospitalconsultation on the kidney are made public.
Dr open Shaw received a signed letter, as the ripper, in an
early Englishman, said he was goingto dror my Nife along of airk Booming

(01:24:25):
down Threat, Junes of Coopers,Spoile de game Ba dy ges I,
Wilbryon de jab Song and Will santu anno Thervid of Inners. The widespread
interest in the murders led to thousandsof letters being sent to the authorities offering
help to solve the mystery. Amongthe many suggestions, most of them treated

(01:24:45):
as totally insane by the police,was the proposal to enlist some women in
the police force and send them tothe streets at night to attract the perpetrator
of the crime and thus arrest him. Dr Le Forbes Winslow, who identified
himself as a mental disorder specialist.He gave similar advice. He proposed that

(01:25:08):
wardens in psychiatric hospitals should be dressedas women inñuelos would be well equipped
by their training to contain a homicidalmaniac. In addition, he said that
the names of patients discharged and escapedshould be searched in all the asylums in
the country, assuming that any ofthem could have relapsed. Apart from the

(01:25:29):
ridiculous and sensible suggestions, the policereceived piles of letters from the seemingly infinite
number of jokers and jokers from theBritish public. Among the most notorious was
one that said I am not abutcher, I am not a Jew,
nor am I a foreign patron,but I am your own friend with a

light heart attentively jag the Ripper.Another poem that appeared at the time ended
with the verses. Two little sluts, trembling with fear, look for a
cozy door in the middle of thenight. Jack' s knife blinks.
Then there' s only one andthe last is the most mature for Jack
' s idea of fun. OnOctober 23rd, Robert Anderson, head of

(01:26:12):
the Metropolitan Police Criminal Investigation Department,wrote the Ministry of the Interior in response
to a request for information on thestate of investigation of White Chappele' s
murders, explained that crimes of thiskind committed without the criminal leaving any clues,
are unusual. In addition, hesaid that the five murders, including

(01:26:33):
that of Tabraham, should have beencommitted without the slightest trace of any kind
being extraordinary, but unique in theannals of the crime. Chapter six.
Last victim, Mary Jane Gelly.On November 9, the manager of a

(01:26:55):
guest house sent his assistant Thomas Bogierto collect the late rent from mery Jane
Kelly. She had occupied a singleroom on the 13th floor of Miller Scort
but had not yet paid the rent. Boyer went to another residence, where
Kelly was said to have settled withher partner. There was no response to

(01:27:17):
Bouier' s beatings. At thedoor of Kelly' s apartment she went
to a broken window, put herhand inside and removed the curtain. He
saw two pieces of meat on atable and on the bed. He saw
a dismembered body and observed that theground was flooded with blood. Bouvier ran
to see his boss and informed himof what he had seen. The two

(01:27:39):
then went to Miller Scorp and throughthe window inspected Mary Kelley' s room.
With more attention on the bloody bed. They saw a body and the
contents of the abdomen scattered. Theysent Bouyer to the commercial street police station.
He brought with him Inspector Beck Becklooked through the ina ME window of
laa n she also called you DivisionSuperintendent Arnold. Inspector Abverdline and Dr Phillips

(01:28:04):
were also notified. Averline arrived atabout 11: 30 and ordered that the
place of the events be remembered.Dr Phillips, looking out the window,
found that the victim was dead,said he couldn' t do anything else
Avertline and Phillips thought it was anexcellent opportunity to try out the newly created

(01:28:27):
hound police unit, called the dogs, but because of the confusion in the
direction of the metropolitan police, theydidn' t arrive. The police waited

until 1 (01:28:33):
30 and when the dogs and their trainers had not yet arrived,
they broke the window and sent aphotographer to the room to record the
crime scene. Later they knocked downthe door with an axe. When the
police finally entered the small room,they inspected the pile of meat on the
bedside table. The body was dressedonly in a linen shirt lying on the

(01:28:59):
edge of the bed. Dr Phillips, based on the location of the blood
in the bed, determined that thevictim had his right carotid artery cut off
before the body was slightly moved.The abdomen Demeric Kelly had been torn,
both breasts had been removed, theleft arm was almost completely separated from the
body. The nose had been cutoff, the forehead skinned and the thighs

(01:29:25):
were skinless. His bowels had beenremoved. A cut hand was inserted into
the stomach. The police and DrPhillips found the victim' s clothes,
neatly bent over a chair. Therewere hot ashes on the grid. There
were traces of women' s clothingin the chimney. The police carefully photographed

(01:29:45):
the victim' s eyes. Thiswas ordered because the forensics of the time
maintained that the last impressions of adying man were recorded in the retina.
The victim of this horrendous murder,Mary Jane Kelly, was, according to
all reports, a prostitute. Atone point in his career he went to
Paris in the company of a man. The identity of this individual was never

(01:30:09):
established, but some believe it wasthe artist Walter Zickert. Mary was also
said to work at a Cleveland Streetstore, where Prince Albert Victor, Queen
Victoria' s grandson, reportedly metwith Anney crog to maintain a sexual relationship.
According to gossip, a child wasborn. This kid was supposedly taken

(01:30:30):
care of by Mary Kelly. Dataon Mary Kelly' s life are rather
scarce. He may have married aman named Davies or Davis, but when
he died in a mining accident,he dedicated himself to prostitution. In a
thousand eight hundred and eighty- sevenhe met a doorman named Joseph Barnett and
lived with him in several guest housesin Spitalfiece and White Chapel, finally settling

(01:30:56):
in a room at the thirteen MillerScull Di jo Us, who had argued
for Mary' s generosity. Whenthey let another prostitute stay in their room,
they threw the furniture away and brokethe window. Barnet left Kelly on
October 30, but continued to visither occasionally in her room. The police
dragged Mary Kelly' s twenty-five- year- old movements immediately before

(01:31:19):
her murder. Several witnesses provided information. On the 8th of November he was
at mill Schurt and its surroundings allday long. She was seen in the
company of a prostitute Maria Harby andBarnet visited Mary in the afternoon between seven
and thirty and eight. He wasthen seen in several drinking rooms approaching men

(01:31:41):
as potential customers. Around eleven andforty- five was seen by Mary Anne
Cox at the entrance of mill Scourttalking to a man. Several other court
residents heard her sing for an hourafter midnight, apparently she came out again
because another witness, George Hutchinson,saw her two o' clock in the
morning on November 9, in theFlower and Din Street area, Mary Kelley

(01:32:03):
asked for six pence. He hadno money to give him. When he
separated, he realized that a manwas approaching him. He followed him until
Mill Schoort waited for a while outsidethe courthouse and then went home. Around
four in the morning, the womanwho lived in the room just above Markeley
woke up when she heard a screamof murder. He thought it was a

(01:32:28):
woman' s voice and it camefrom the courthouse under his window. She
didn' t do anything, asthis type of quarrel happened regularly in the
area. This was the last timeanyone saw you heard Maric Keley. Another
woman who lived nearby also heard ascream at about two thirty meters looked out
the window and saw a man prowlingat the entrance of a thousand Schoold fell

(01:32:48):
asleep for a while and just beforefour o' clock heard someone scream murder.
Like the first witness, he didnot pay attention to the cry.
The investigation into the death of thesea Kelly was opened by Dr. MacDonald,
the investigating judge of the northeastern districtof middle X, on the 12th
of November one thousand eight hundred andeighty- eight. Like all the procedures

(01:33:11):
of previous investigations into the murders ofwomen in Whitechapeld and the city of London,
the minutes were published in the newspapersfor public consumption. The investigation was
attended by Commissioner T Arnold of DivisionH and Inspector Averline of the Criminal Investigation
Department. The investigation lasted only oneday. After hearing several of the witnesses

(01:33:34):
who had seen Kelly the day beforehis murder and the women who had heard
a murder call from Mille Schood,the coroner called the jury to issue a
verdict. Among the absences in theprocess was any report of the autopsy of
the victim by Dr. Phillips orGeorge Hootginson' s testimony. Who was

(01:33:56):
supposed to give a good description ofthe man who was last seen with Marc
Kelly. The jury as instructed camea verdict of intentional murder by an unknown
person or persons. The brevity ofthe investigation did not go unnoticed by the
press. The Daily Telegraph noted thatit was a bit hasty to call the

(01:34:19):
investigation, even before the deceased's relatives had had the opportunity to identify
her body. According to the newspaper, there were enough irregularities in the process
to justify a new one. Theabsence of George Hutchinson' s testimony was
particularly unusual. On 12 September,on the day of the investigation, he

(01:34:40):
had gone to the Commercial Street PoliceStation and made a statement. He described
the man he saw with Mary Kellyat the mill school entrance. He was
about thirty- four thirty- fiveyears old and was about sixty- five
meters high. He had a palecomplexion, dark eyes, a curly moustache
on his NS and dark hair.He wore a long, dark coat with

(01:35:03):
collar and cuffs of dark, curlylamb wool, a dark jacket, a
light vest, dark pants and adark felt hat. He wore button boots
and gaiters with white buttons. Hewore a thick chain of gold and a
white wine neck. Around the neckhe wore a black tie and was fixed

(01:35:25):
with a horseshoe pin. His appearancewas Jewish. Putchinson claimed that he could
identify the man as another witness whowas not called the investigation. He said
he' d seen a man whomight have been the killer. He described
what he saw a journalist from TheTimes. His observations were published in the
November 10 issue of the newspaper.Since there are a lot of people in

(01:35:47):
Whitechapel who claim to have seen allkinds of things, it is possible that
the statement of Mrs Paumier, atraveling saleswoman, is false. However,
it largely corresponds to the remarks ofhouchy Paumier said that the man he had
seen was dressed like a gentleman.I' d asked him if he'

(01:36:08):
d heard of the murder on DorceStreet. Miller Schood was next to Dorce
de Street in Spitalfields. She saidyes. The man then said he knew
more about the murder than she did. He left taking one last look over
his shoulder. According to Mrs Paumier, the man was seventy meters tall,

(01:36:28):
wearing black mustache, black silk hat, black coat and speckled pants. He
was wearing a shiny black bag.The investigation appears to have been abbreviated by
the authorities in an attempt to cushionthe public frenzy over the murders. There
are reports of individuals with a physicalresemblance to the killer, as described in
the press, and men in clothingsimilar to the one the killer is said

(01:36:51):
to wear, were persecuted by mobsin White Chapel. Panic seized the women
in the neighborhood, who were soafraid that they refused to go out at
night. The press lived the hysteria, printing rugged stories about Mary Kelly'
s murder. When Mary Kelly wasfinally buried on November 18, a crowd

(01:37:12):
of hundreds of people seeking emotions cameto the funeral service in the church of
Soreditch. Things calmed down for awhile, but the attempted murder of a
prostitute Anne Farmer, on November 21, 1880, caused a brief uproar.
She was mugged in her house.She was found badly injured in her standing

(01:37:33):
throat in her kitchen. The assailantescaped. At first glance it looked like
Jack the Ripper' s work,but when the details were found out,
it turned out that the attack waspart of a money dispute. Annie Farmer
recovered from her brush with a dissatisfiedclient. The fear that spread in White
Chapel upon the news of the Anifarmerassault was palpable. Although the police quickly

(01:37:59):
discarded the well that it was anothervictim of Jack the Ripper, the public
remained apprehensive. They were right,as the calm in the district broke when
Agent Walter Andrell discovered a woman's body on July 17, 1980,
eighty- nine, just under tenmonths after Mary Kelly' s murder.

(01:38:20):
In his round, he found meAlice Mackenzie' s body at cast Wally
next to White Chapelle High Street.Using his whistle, he alerted his sergeant
who ran to the place. Thetwo looked at the body that they found
quite hot. The woman' sskirts were up her waist, revealing her

(01:38:40):
legs in stockings. Under the headwas a puddle of blood. Underneath the
body lay a clay pipe. Itwas a well- known involvement of Alice
Mackenzie smoking in a pipe. That' s why she was known as Tlay
pepe Allis. Alice lived with aJohn Mr. NRC. The night before

(01:39:00):
his death. He had given hersome money and she had gone out.
He said he made a living asa cleaner and a tailor. The police
thought he made a living as aprostitute. Be that as it may,
she was known to be a stubborndrinker. His name was Dr. Phillips,
who arrived shortly later, described thescene in some detail. Alice was

(01:39:23):
lying on her side, her neckhad been cut off and her clothes revolted,
exposing her genitalia. The autopsy performedon the same day determined that his
neck had not been cut, butstabbed. Twice while she was on the
ground, they discovered a cut inthe abdomen from the chest to the navel.

(01:39:44):
This as well as minor injuries inthe genital region determined that they had
been inflicted. After the death ofthe victim, Dr Phillips believed that this
murder was not the work of Jack, the Ripper. The abdomen had not
been opened. In addition, theweapon used seemed shorter than that of the
Ripper' s murders. A secondpathologist, Dr Thomas Bond, was called

(01:40:08):
to examine the body and study Dr. Phillips. Although the two doctors agreed
on the nature of the wounds,the second consultant did believe that this murder
resembled the Ripper' s enough tobe attributed to him. Metropolitan Police Commissioner
James Monro, who arrived at thescene of the murder shortly after 3 a

(01:40:30):
m, later informed the Government thathe was inclined to attribute the murder to
Jack the Ripper. The press hadno objection to side with those who believed
that the Ripper had returned to theLondong Observer ist It was reported that the
murder demon has done his hideous jobagain. The article continued with the observation

(01:40:53):
that this murder was perfectly in linewith previous murders. The newspaper article painted
a rather gloomy picture of Castle alley, where the body had been discovered.
It was described as probably one ofthe lowest neighborhoods in all of East London.
The alley was, the journalist said, blocked by cars, roads and

(01:41:15):
street vendors' trucks. It wasmore or less hidden from the main road
at one point narrowed to less thana meter wide. The alley led to
the streets of New Castle and Wentworth, Both, pointed out the writer,
occupied mainly by foreign Jews and residentsof lodging houses. Public interest in this

(01:41:39):
crime was short- lived. TheCleveland Street scandal, which had a much
more juicy prospect of involving high-born Englishmen, flooded the press. The
following year it looked like the Ripperwas back. On the 15th of February,
one of them was found the victimof another murder. Police officer Benjamin
Lyson responded to a colleague' swhistle and ran to help him. They

(01:42:02):
showed the body of a woman lyingon the ground. He recognized her as
a tineal car or Francis Colles.The victim kept some life, though it
quickly expired. It was thought thatby discovering Colls, the police had frightened
the perpetrator, so a massive policehouse was quickly set in motion. Data

(01:42:23):
were searched in all nearby residences.By tracing what appeared to be a new
hat the victim wore, the policewere able to focus their suspicions on James
Sautler, a boat fireman who hadbeen with the victim at his home in
Guests for an hour and who returnedthere later in the night with his hands
bloodied. Satler was arrested by thepolice and detained in Holloway prison. Just

(01:42:49):
before Sattler' s arrest, aman named Aaron Cosminsky was arrested and detained
in an asylum. It is notknown whether the police had the hunch that
you eat Minsky was related to themurder of Francis Colls. It is true
that one of the witnesses of CassoColls and nameless Jew, perhaps Joseph Lawendey,

(01:43:09):
did not identify Satler as the Ripper, although he denied having murdered Colles.
The police were convinced that they hadarrested the killer. In this case,
the newspapers did their best to fuelthe fire, repeating over and over
again that Colls had been killed bythe Ripper and that Satler, the Ripper,
had finally been captured. Sadler gotexcellent advice for his defense. It

(01:43:34):
was shown that the blood on hishands came from his attack on the street
on the night of the murder.His counsel submitted fully convincing statements from the
former employers of the accused. Prosecutorsreluctantly agreed that they lacked sufficient evidence to
proceed with the trial and the casewas abandoned. This didn' t have

(01:43:57):
any effect. In the press theyignored the fact that they had said that
San was the Ripper and continued witha flood of articles involving Jack the Ripper
with the murder of Franks Colls.Despite press reports that Alice McKenzie and Franks
Colls were victims of the Ripper,many of those who have been carried away
by the mystery of White Chapel's murders have come to the conclusion that

(01:44:18):
the murders of Mackenzie and Colds werewhat we would now call imitation murders.
Chapter seven. Whitehappel. In theera of Jack the Ripper, the Its
En of London became a magnet forthe poor and for immigrants, as it

(01:44:40):
offered accommodation much cheaper than those ofthe adjacent rich Ciry of London. In
the burrow of alleys, alleys,crowded shopping streets and small factories, the
inhabitants mostly lived a precarious life.The neighborhoods known as Spitlefields and White Chapel
were inhabited by the poor and theworking class. The densely packed and broken

(01:45:05):
buildings were increasingly transformed into guest houses. These protected the masses of people who
gathered small amounts of money to paya roof from the inclement weather. Some
of the slums were eliminated from 1, 848 when the commercial street was improved
and blocks of dwellings for artisans werebuilt. As much as municipal authorities tried

(01:45:29):
to evict slums on several occasions,it was not long before other areas filled
the void and structures were transformed intoruinous homes. The neighborhoods of Spitalfields and
White Chapel, in the it endof London, became a magnet for immigrants.
Thousands of Irish came to these neighborhoods. In the 19th century. The

(01:45:51):
displaced Jews from Eastern Europe arrived bytens of thousands to settle in the district.
The poor displaced from the countryside ofEngland, Scotland and Wales also found
refuge in the slums of London.The poverty of the London ist was well
known to everyone except for the blindestof the rich living in the districts of

(01:46:13):
SIRI and London and its western neighbour, the West Mainster neighborhood. A mid
- nineteenth- century journalist said thatfor the millions of people living in the
most appalling poverty there were five establishmentsthat defined their lives. The church,
the Palace of Geneva, where themiserable come to drown their sorrows, the

(01:46:34):
lenders, the prison and the asylum. All these places were protagonists in the
lives of the victims of Jack theRipper. Ten years after the murders of
the Ripper, a social reformer namedCharles Wood published the first two volumes of
his work Life and Labour of thePeople of London contained poverty maps based on

(01:46:57):
his team' s research on thestreets of London. White Chapelle' s
map provides a graphic proof of socialconditions in the area where Jak El Ripper
lived. It shows an amazing numberof crowded areas of criminal classes, a
term that was gaining adherents at thetime. The conditions in the poorest areas

(01:47:17):
of London were such that they contributedsignificantly to the rise of socialism in the
United Kingdom. Most of the variouscurrents of socialist thought included the urgent need
for moral reform, as well asthe improvement of the living and working conditions
of the poor and working classes inthe Its, especially the Christian philanthropists and

(01:47:40):
their socialist allies, were driven toact. Among the philanthropic organizations that were
created at that time was the SalvationArmy founded by William Bood and his wife
Cathering in the its In one thousandeight hundred sixty- five, the Christian
organization in s per mo that inone thousand eight hundred ninety, among the

(01:48:02):
population of Greater London, which numberedabout five six million people, there were
thirty zero prostitutes and thirty- twozero persons in prison. In one thousand
eight hundred and eighty- nine,intoxication sentences amounted to one hundred and sixty
- zero, and suicides of twothousand two hundred and ninety- seven,
two thousand and one hundred and fifty- seven people were found dead in the

(01:48:26):
streets. An estimated one fifth ofthe population was destitute. The number of
people in work houses and nursing homeswas large. Poverty and hunger are common
currency. The frenzied activity on thestreets of way Chapel reflected the precarious lives
of the inhabitants of the area.The men found work as day laborers,
driving cars or hoisting loads of nearLondon docks. Some had a more regular

(01:48:51):
job in tanneries, breweries and smallshops that made from barrels to fabrics.
Women, especially single women, werefar less likely to avoid hunger. Their
employment options were limited working in shopsor selling goods on the street were two
of the few possibilities. Crime waswidespread. This was particularly a problem after

(01:49:16):
the end of the transport of convicts. In the mid- eight hundred and
fifty, the criminals who were formerlysent to the colonies were imprisoned in England
and their sentences were shortened without anyform of correction in the prisons. The
escapees and the bil verados were almostcertain to return to their criminal activities.

(01:49:38):
The descriptions of life among the criminalclasses were disseminated by the press and by
novelists such as Charles Dickens in hisnovel Oliver Twists, published by deliveries in
Benthles missele Anney between 1, 830and 7 and 1, 830 thirty-
nine. It was not until theend of the century that there was an
attism of understanding of the criminal mind. Social Darwinism became fashionable and criminals became

(01:50:01):
identified with individuals suffering from behavioural anomalies. These were attributed to bad education and
inheritance. They were exacerbated by anumber of health hazards ranging from malnutrition to
addiction and trauma, to sexually transmitteddiseases. The vast majority of crimes in

(01:50:24):
London at the end of the Victorianera were petty crimes of theft. The
scourge of pickpockets, such as thefictional orphan Olibertwist, went largely unnoticed and
most of its victims did not informthe police of their losses. More serious
robberies were reported and the police weremaking some effort to arrest the perpetrators.

(01:50:45):
Attacks are frequent, but are attributedto drunkenness and are rarely prosecuted The most
serious crime. Murder is rare.When it happened most of the time,
it prompted the press to print exaggeratedreports with many macabre details. On Canon
Street, in one thousand eight hundredand sixty- six, a housekeeper,

(01:51:06):
Sarah Milson, was found murdered ina warehouse in the city of London.
It was discovered that she was beingblackmailed. His blackmailer was exonerated from the
crime and the killer was never captured. In one thousand eight hundred and seventy
- two, on great run Street, a prostitute to ried Bouswell, was
picked up by a man who,according to witnesses, spoke with a German

(01:51:30):
accent. She was found slaughtered inher room. The chaplain of a German
ship was arrested and charged, butprovided a solid alibi and was released.
The police never abandoned the belief thatit was he who had sent Harriet Buswell.
The murder of women was not unknownin the years immediately prior to the
Ripper stalking the streets of White Chappele. The most notorious crime of the time

(01:51:55):
when, since the Ripper was ensnaredwith them, it is known as the
cleve Llane scandal. It happened ina thousand eight hundred and eighty- nine.
Just eight months after Mary Kelly's murder, a police officer discovered,
interviewing a possible thief who had amale brothel on Cleveland Street. The
case was handed over to Detective InspectorFrederick Aberline. This one went to the

(01:52:18):
brothel to stop the owner. Theclub was closed. Its owner had fled
to graveent through one of the rentalguys at the Avelline Club. He learned
that Lord Arthus Someres and Henry fitzRoyd, Count of Euston, had been
clients of the brothel. They intervieweda boy who claimed to have received money

(01:52:40):
for having sex with Somerset at theCleveland Street brothel. At the end of
the interview, the witness to GernonAllis fled to the mainland, namely Badhet.
He fled to the mainland, namelyBad Omburg, where it was observed
that the Prince of Wales, thefuture King Edward VII, was spending his

(01:53:01):
summer vacation. Two boys who frequentedthe brothel were tried. His legal expenses
were paid by Lord Somerset, whohad moved to Hanover for the purpose,
according to him, of inspecting horsesfor the Prince of Wales. The prostitutes
were found guilty and received a lenientsentence. Somerset himself moved from Europe to

(01:53:24):
America. The authorities did not requesthis extradition. He spent the rest of
his life in France. At thebeginning of the new year. The police
had identified some sixty suspects as commonplacein the Cleveland Street brothel. Up to
twenty- two had fled the countrychapter eight usual and unusual suspects. Before

(01:53:48):
and now, for the most partit is unknown what the authorities thought at
the time about Jack' s identity, the gutter Many of those involved in
the investigation remained silent. However,finally a writer, the prison inspector,
Major Arthur Griffit, wrote about thecase. Although he was not part of

(01:54:12):
the investigators' team, he revealedsome of the weaves of the police of
the time. Griffitz, in hisbook mters of Polis and Crin mysteries of
police and crime, published in athousand eight hundred and ninety- eight,
a decade after the White Chapel murders, wrote that after the murder of Mary
Kelley, the police were looking forseveral murderous madmen known to them. Of

(01:54:35):
these three, Griffitz seemed likely tobe suspected. Among them was a Polish
Jew who was known for having oftenbeen seen wandering the streets of White Chapel.
He was finally imprisoned in a madhouseand declared insane. Another was a
Russian doctor known for carrying his surgicalinstruments with him. The third suspect among

(01:54:59):
the madmen was Mr M J.“ Dreed Era,” Griffith said,
a doctor. Those who knew Dreedsuspected his sanity. He disappeared after Mary
Kelly' s murder. His bodyfloated on the surface of the Thames on
the last day of one thousand eighthundred and eighty- eight. Forensic doctors
concluded that he had been in thewater for a month. Some police believed

(01:55:20):
that after dispatching Kelly, she completelylost her mind and committed suicide. Griffitz
concluded his passage on the suspects thatit was at least a strong presumption that,
since the Ripper died or was capturedfor some other crime. After Kelly
' s murder, Sir Melville Magnatenbecame head of the metropolitan police' s

(01:55:41):
criminal investigation division in 1, 808080, although he was not intimately involved in
the investigation of Whitechappel' s murders. When these occurred, he developed a
theory about the culprit. In amemorandum of one thousand eight hundred and ninety
- four, he identified Jack theRipper as riding Gert J. Dreed.
He said he believed Dreed had committedonly five murders. The victims were Nichols,

(01:56:06):
Chapman, Stride, Eddowath and Kelly. He noted that the police had
considered as possible suspects a Polish Jewcalled with Shminsky, a deranged Russian doctor
known to abuse women and Dree ofthe three deranged suspects. Magnatein decanted himself
for Dreed as the Ripper. Onceagain, Dreed was wrongly identified as a

(01:56:30):
doctor. He was a lawyer.He was said to be sexually insane.
Griffitz and Magnaten were not the onlyones who contributed to speculation about the identity
of Jaggle Ripper. Others involved inone way or another at the time of
the White Chapel murders, described theirmemoirs in their books, offered their opinions

(01:56:50):
on the crime. Sir Robert Annersonbecame Deputy Commissioner of the Criminal Investigation Division
of the Metropolitan Police. O nn n n moment of the last murder.
He published his autobiography in nineteen hundredand ten. He counted his first
weeks as Commissioner in one thousand eighthundred and eighty- eight were dramatic.
Before assuming his new duties, Andersonwas allowed to rest and recover in Switzerland.

(01:57:15):
Your vacation was interrupted by the murderof Mary Jane Kelly. Upon his
return to London, he proposed thatthe police remove all lyth Enn prostitutes who
offended his sense of morality. Theywere to warn women of the night that
they could not be protected. Inhis autobiography he expressed his opinion on guilt.

(01:57:35):
It didn' t take Sherlock Holmesto find out that the criminal was
a sexual echo peanut. He identifiedthe killer as a low- class Polish
Jew, though he did not namethe culprit. It is almost certain that
it was the same Konsminsky, appointedby Magnaten. Two witnesses reportedly pointed to
Konsminsky. It was probably Israel Schwartz, who witnessed an attack on elizabethh Tride

(01:58:00):
on Bernard Street just before she waskilled, and Josep pla Wende, who
saw Catherine Eddowath with a man atthe entrance to Mitre Square. Anderson dismissed
the letter, which purported to beJack the Ripper as the work of an
enterprising journalist. He claimed to knowwho had written the letter, but did
not divulge it, saying that itwould shed a bad light on the department

(01:58:24):
he had once directed. Sir.Henry Smith acted as London City Police Commissioner
when Catherine Edhwass was killed in thevirtually independent square mile known as the city
of London. His memories of theevents of one thousand eight hundred and eighty
- eight were first published in BlackWoods Magazine and later in an autobiography of

(01:58:47):
one thousand nine hundred and ten.As a rival to the Metropolitan Police Commissioner,
he claimed to have acted quickly afterthe murder that took place under his
watch. He said he sent dozensof police to patrol the Mitre Square area
of Paisano. He said he movedquickly from Southward Brige Police Station to the

(01:59:08):
crime scene. He denounced the actionof the then Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir
Charles Warreng, who was in chargeof erasing the paintings from place before they
were photographed. Smith didn' toffer a candidate for the killer. He
did offer an argument against the assumptionthat the culprit was a Polish Jew.
He said it was unlikely that ifa Jew was involved, his co-

(01:59:32):
religionaries, fearing being accused of beingaccomplices, would have handed him over.
An autobiography entitled Collections of fory Jersmemories of forty years, written by Dr
Ille Forbes Winslow and published in nineteenhundred and ten is from a modern perspective,
the most interesting of the first textsabout Jaggle Ripper. Winslow was an

(01:59:55):
expert in mental illness. His fatherhad founded an asylum that he inherited.
He was a highly educated doctor whooften acted as a witness in court.
When he offered his help to thepolice to solve the White Chapel murders,
he was dismissed as unnecessary for hisinvestigation. The delusion certainly bothered the proud
doctor. He took on the roleof amateur detective in his quest to investigate,

(02:00:21):
toured the streets of White Chapel,met the local women and requested any
information they could give him. Hesoon developed the theory that the killer was
a homicidal maniac. His thought,a form of primitive forensic profile, led
him to conclude that the killer hadreligious opinions that he was putting into practice

(02:00:41):
to rid the streets of immoral women. Dr Winslow imagined the killer as a
man of good standing, a well- off man who, after every crime,
retired to lead a normal life withhis family. In Windslow’ s
view, the ripper did change hismodus operandi, as the wave of murder
evolved and his sense of religious dutyto act against immorality intensified. He even

(02:01:05):
said that the killer was likely tobelieve that he worked on God’ s
instructions. Dr Winslow thought there wereeight victims of the unbridled monomaniac religious ripper.
The first was an unidentified person killedin July of one thousand eight hundred
and eighty- seven. After themurders that today are considered the five canonical

(02:01:25):
victims of the Ripper, Winslow thoughtthe Ripper had a lucid interval before attacking
and killing Alice Mackenzie in July ofone thousand eight hundred and eighty- nine.
Winslow' s theory of the author' s psychology was surprisingly similar to
that of forensic psychologists who work today. I thought the culprit who enjoyed periods

(02:01:47):
of sanity was the kind of personthat no one would consider a murderer.
Possibly totally alien to his past actionsin these periods of lucidity in as s
s s o s l inschoentos eighty- nine, Winslow felt he was on
the right track. A woman toldhim that a man had tried to kidnap

(02:02:08):
her the night of Mackenzie' smurder. She escaped from her claws and
saw him enter a courthouse, whereshe saw him wash the blood from his
hands. Winslow went to a guesthouse in the courtyard and was told that
a room had been rented to aman who adjusted the description provided by the
lucky woman. The owner of theGuest House described the peculiar behavior of the

(02:02:30):
tenant. He said his eccentric tenantwas often changing clothes, wearing rubber on
his boots. He had left hisroom in August and said he was going
to Canada. Winslow dedicated himself tofinding out everything he could about the mysterious
tenant. He was known for hiseccentric behavior, if not crazy. His

(02:02:50):
landlord said he talked regularly about theevils of prostitution. He wrote incoherent religious
treatises full of poison toward prostitutes.Some of these essays were read aloud by
the housing manager. With this newinformation in his hand and wearing a pair
of blood- covered rubber boots hehad found in the madman' s room.

(02:03:12):
Winslow went to the police refused toconsider his discovery in an outburst.
Winslow handed over his evidence to theNew York Herald edition. What convinced the
doctor that he had really discovered theidentity of the Ripper was the fact that
the murders stopped. After the publicationof his investigation, the police followed Winslow

(02:03:32):
' s theory by identifying the mysterioustenant as g Wentworth bell Smith. His
name appeared in a document prepared byChief Inspector Donald Sterland s. Wanson after
the murder of Marta Tabraham. Swansonwas the officer in charge of Whitechapel'
s murders until Deputy Commissioner Dr.Robert Anderson returned from the continent on October

(02:03:57):
6, 1880. He Wentworth.Belle Smith was a peculiar character, said
Canadian cer and representative in London ofToronto. After he had the habit of
keeping loaded revolvers in his room,one and a half meters high. It
looked like the men the witnesses hadseen with the victims of the White Chapel
murders. She had dark complexion andhair and a mustache and a messy beard.

(02:04:21):
Dr Winslow said he had in hispossession the blood- stained rubber boots
that were taken from Belle Smith's room and three pairs of women'
s shoes and ties, feathers andflowers of the kind worn by the prostitutes
he had collected from Belle Smith's lodging. These last articles look like

(02:04:43):
memories of crimes. Winslow' sautobiography revived interest in the Jaggle case.
Ripper received letters proposing solutions to thecrimes. He followed up on one of
them was a communication from a womanfrom Melbourne, Australia. I told him
that the Ripper had gone to Australia. The correspondent knew him as an expert

(02:05:03):
on anatomy. The woman said thatshe had moved to South Africa, where
she worked on the railway. Theauthor of the unnamed letter informed Winslow that
she hoped that with this new information, an Irish medical student in London,
named William grand Grainger, could beexonerated from his conviction for the crime of

(02:05:24):
assaulting a prostitute. In March ofone thousand eight hundred and ninety- five,
Grainger stabbed Alice Graham in the abdomen. He claimed that his action was
precipitated by a dispute over the priceof his services. Graham, who had
symptoms of periodic insanity, was convictedand imprisoned for seven years. He had

(02:05:45):
the bad luck of having an individualwith an affinity for notoriety as a lawyer.
Grainger' s lawyer admitted that hisclient was Jagg the Ripper. Winslow
didn' t want to know aboutthis. After receiving information from Australia,
he worked in court to exonerate poorGrainger. On the eve of World War
I. Sir Malvill magnac Tein publisheda second volume of his reminiscences. Interest

(02:06:11):
in the Ripper' s case hadguaranteed fast book sales. On it.
Magnaten didn' t reveal much newinformation. He said that from the beginning
he believed that the letter sent tothe Central News Agency was not evil crazy,
that he had committed the murders.He reiterated his belief that the rise
of creepy murders led to the collapseof the killer' s mind and his

(02:06:34):
suicide. Among the books that followedthe memoirs of the main members of the
police force. At the time ofJack the Ripper, there were a number
of volumes written by minor figures whotook advantage of their supposed inner knowledge of
police thinking. On the case,Arthur Fobler Neil was a detective sergeant in

(02:06:55):
nine hundred and three. In hismemoirs fory herdo Manhanting one thousand nine hundred
thirty- two told the story ofGeorge Chapman' s arrest, which many
believe was jagg the Ripper. Chapmanwas arrested in nineteen hundred and two and
charged with the murders of Mouth Marsh, Mary Sping and Kissy Taylor. They
were all his ex- lovers.They were all poisoned, presumably with antimony

(02:07:20):
Chapman bought at a pharmacy. Theinvestigation of the murders revealed that Chapman was
born as Severing anthonyo Viach Clossovsky inPoland in one thousand eight hundred and sixty
- five. He arrived in Englandabout 1, 880 and worked at a
barbershop on Whitechapel High Street. Itwas very close to George Jart where Martha

(02:07:43):
Tabraham' s body was found.In August of one thousand eight hundred and
eighty- eight, Chapman ascended intohis barber' s profession. Shortly after
the Whitechapell murders. Chapman emigrated tothe United States, remained there for a
couple of years and then returned toEngland and resumed his former profession in Whitechapel
before being reduced to work in apuf The jury of Chapman' s trial

(02:08:07):
issued a guilty verdict in the caseof mouth Marsh was hanged. On April
7, nineteen hundred and three,it was reported that Inspector Abertline told the
people that Chapman was arrested, youfinally got Jack. The Ripper. Averline
had Chapman in mind a long timeafter the White Chappel murders. It was
the resemblance between Chapman and the eyewitnessdescriptions of the men seen with the deceased

(02:08:31):
women, which put him on thetrack. All the detectives in the Ripper
case had been advised to watch Polishmen who, according to Dr Thomas Dutton,
had a violent and unpredictable character,little regard for women and probably medical
training. The mystery of Jagg's identity, the Ripper, was compounded

(02:08:54):
by Dr. Thomas Dutton. Hewas born in a thousand eight hundred and
fifty- four. He died inpoverty in a thousand eight hundred and ninety
- one. Apparently, Dr.Dutton wrote a three- volume book that
he titled a chronicle of crime.It consisted of its notes of observations on
the main crimes. Over a periodof sixty years. Among them stood out

(02:09:15):
the murders of the Ripper. Dutton' s text was shown to Donald McCormick,
who incorporated the notes he took fromhim in his book The Dentidy Ob
Jack de River one thousand nine hundredand fifty- nine. The chronicle of
the crime, handwritten by Dutton hasdisappeared and there is Kin thinks it never
existed. It is said that Duttonhas chosen Dr. Alexander Padachenko as Jack

(02:09:37):
the Ripper. Your theory appears atfirst sight absurd. It originated with William
le Kukes, an Anglo- Frenchwriter who self- promotes in his non
- fiction book things I know aboutkings, celebrities and thieves, published in
nineteen hundred and twenty- three.Le Gueux included a French manuscript by the

(02:09:58):
Russian monk Gregory Rasputin. It claimedthat Padachenko, who had some information.
As an anatomist, he killed WhiteChapell' s women to confuse the British
police. Rasputin' s text,which must have been translated from Russian into
French and then into English, saidthat Padachenko was helped in the murders by

(02:10:18):
a friend named Levitski and a womannamed Wimber. The woman engaged in a
conversation with the victim. Padachenco cameout of the shadows and cut the woman
' s neck, while Bitsky keptan eye on the cops. It was
Levisky who wrote the infamous letter fromthe Ripper and the postcard sent to the

(02:10:39):
police. Rasputin' s manuscript concludedwith the claim that the Russian secret police
had actively helped and encouraged the crimesin order to expose to the world certain
flaws of the English police system andit was they who encouraged the Russian lunatic
Padachenko to go to England and perpetratethe crimes Rasputin Di s that, after

(02:11:00):
the White Chapel murders, Padachenko wastaken out of England and taken home in
Russia. There he was caught tryingto assault and maim a woman. He
was sent to a nursing home wherehe died in a thousand nine hundred and
eight. His assistants Levitski and Wimbergwoman were also returned to Russia. These
two accomplices, who had a dangerousknowledge of the plot, were banished to

(02:11:24):
Siberia. Since the publication of Maccormic' s book, the case enthusiasts of
the Ripper, affectionately known as Rippers, have poured a lot of ink on
Padachenko' s theory. Many holeshave been made in the sources of theory.
From our point of view, thewisest thing to do is to dismiss
it as nonsense. Some of thedoctors who participated in the autopsies of the

(02:11:48):
victims of the Ripper were quite certainthat the crimes had been committed by someone
with accurate medical knowledge. This ideawas picked up by writers on the subject
since a thousand nine hundred and twenty- nine, when Leonard Matters published his
book Mystery of Jack by Ripper.In this first modern attempt to solve Whatechapell
' s crimes, Matters decided ona Dr. Stangley, a surgeon at

(02:12:13):
Harley Street, who was charged withmurder for the pain of her son'
s death from syphilis had contracted thedisease after a relationship with a White Chapel
prostitute, who the son identified assomeone named Mary Janette Kelly. Stangley made
inquiries in White Chapel about Mary Kelly' s whereabouts. He approached prostitutes who

(02:12:35):
might know where he was in hisrage against these women, who were a
curse to civilization. The ones hehit. Seeing that the police were not
following his eyesight, he took avictim' s uterus for his anatomical collection.
She finally tracked down Mary Janette Kellyand killed her. The only problem
with Matter' s scenario was thathe invented Dr. Stanglee claimed the rest

(02:12:58):
was closed. The fact that thewhole story was purely imaginative is confirmed by
the conclusion that it is as absurdas the rasputing story of QUABS. The
matter said that Dr Stangley fled toBuenos Aires, where he became editor of
a newspaper in English. On hisdeathbed, said Matters, Dr. Stangley

(02:13:20):
summoned a former surgical student of hisand confessed to being Jack the Ripper.
Most strippers today are content to ignorethe embolesque rock story of Matters, which
has the appearance of a novel's plot. The identification of Jack the
Ripper with a doctor has always beena persistent issue among those who intend to

(02:13:41):
solve the mystery. In a thousandnine hundred and thirty- one, Agent
Robert Clifford Spicer made the bold claimthat he had captured Jack the Ripper.
On September 30, while on patrol, he said he had seen a man
and a woman sitting in the trashcan. The woman was a well-
known local prostitute named Rosse. Theman wearing a bag was dressed in a

(02:14:01):
shirt with his fists stained with blood. By refusing to answer the question of
the Spicer people, the man wastaken to the police station. Spiceer didn
' t get the man claiming tobe a doctor arrested. He was very
disappointed by the fact that a personwho was convinced that he was Jack the
Ripper was free. Spicer' stheory has given rise to further investigations into

(02:14:24):
the possibility that a criminal doctor hascommitted the crimes, but nothing absolutely convincing
has been published to date. Onthe contrary, a clique of medical experts
has emerged who doubt that the ripperwas a doctor or a person even trained
in anatomy. In a thousand ninehundred and sixty- six, a London

(02:14:46):
pathologist, Professor Francis Carnt, examinedthe newly discovered sketches of the cathering edhe
Wass autopsy. He concluded that Jagg, the Ripper, was not a medical
practitioner. In the investigation of themurder of WAT, Dr. Frederic Gordon
Brown stated that the incision in thevictim' s abdomen, which allowed the
removal of the uterus and left kidney, indicated that it had been made by

(02:15:09):
someone with great anatomical knowledge. Thiswas not supported by Brown' s colleague,
Dr. George Sekeida. The ChiefInspector, Donnalds Wanson of the Metropolitan
Police, also maintained that his fellowLondoners, where Eddoweth had been murdered,
were wrong to pursue a doctor.I thought there was no evidence of anatomical

(02:15:31):
expertise in body mutilation. He saidthe murder could have been perpetrated by a
hunter, a butcher, a killer, or a student of anatomy or surgery.
He rejected the idea that a fullytrained doctor would commit the crimes.
It was also supported by Dr.Thomas Bonn. He attended the post-
mortem examination of Mary Kelly' sbody and read the other cases in the

(02:15:56):
police files. He categorically stated thatin all cases where there was bite of
the body, it was caused bysomeone who had no special knowledge of anatomy.
He went on to say that thekiller did not even have the technical
knowledge of a butcher or killer,horses or someone familiar with the dead animals.
In the case of Marc Kelly's body, he was so bloody

(02:16:18):
that it was impossible to determine whetheror not the killer had any knowledge of
butchery. On November 9, 1880, the police received a letter. In
it the Ripper wrote the man issharp, fast and leaves no trace.
The motive for the crimes, accordingto this letter, framed in a poem,
was to destroy the filthy and horriblewhores of the night, downcast,

(02:16:41):
lost, downcast, rags and thin, theater frequenters, music halls and infernal
gin drinkers. It is clear thatmedical evidence was most important when it came
to pointing out one suspect or another. Dr George Waxter Phillips performed three of
the autopsies of the Ripper' svictims at White Chapel. He was an

(02:17:03):
observer at the autopsy of Catherine edhewassmurdered in the jurisdiction of the London City
Police. His testimony should therefore beconsidered almost definitive. In the case of
the second of the victims of theRipper, Annie Chapman, Phillips was clear,
obviously, the work was by anexpert or someone at least who had

(02:17:24):
such knowledge of anatomical or pathological testsas to be able to secure the pelvic
organs with a single movement of theknife. The fact that Phillips systematically reports
only on matters relating to his scientificexamination of the bodies is confirmed in his
report on Alice Mackenzie' s autopsy. He said that, based on purely

(02:17:46):
anatomical reasons, it was his opinionthat the Mackenzie woman was not killed by
the same man who had murdered theother Whitechapel victims. The possibility that the
killer was a killer working at WhiteChapelle has been the subject of considerable conjecture
on the part of the rippers.Indeed, there were many slaughterhouses in the
district. The police interviewed about seventy- six killers and butchers after the August

(02:18:09):
and September murders of one thousand eighthundred and eighty- eight. Pathologist Professor
Francis Camps, in his study ofthe murders of one thousand nine hundred and
sixty- six, imagined Jack's modus Operandy. He said he probably
strangled his victims first. This explainsthe fact that none of the victims,
with the possible exception of Meri Kelly, screamed upon being assaulted. He said

(02:18:33):
little blood was found in the tensbecause the victims' hearts stopped before they
cut their throats and opened their abdomens. If this were the case, point
to some form of ritual mutilation.This theory about the jagg procedure the ripper
has a certain similarity, but itis not identical with the butchery of the

(02:18:54):
Kusher meat, with rampant anti-Semitism in England at the end of the
SGNS. Nineteen. No wonder theimage of the ripper, like a Jewish
murderous shocket, gained some ground.According to this method of animal slaughter a
special knife is used to cut thetrachea and in doing so the blood vessels

(02:19:15):
that go to the heart and comeout of it are cut off. The
spine is not cut. There arefive rules that must be followed in the
sacrifice of the kousher flesh. Ifnot met, experts say, the animal
will suffer the usual in a Jewishslaughterhouse was to catch the animal and force
it to fall to the ground beforea very sharp special knife. The cale

(02:19:35):
was dragged through the animal' sthroat. The chest and abdomen of the
dead animal were opened to inspect theheart, lungs and intestinal organs, defects
are observed and the body is declaredunfit for consumption. Like the Shock Team,
with their aprons and bloody hands,they were a regular image of the
streets of Whay Chapel. It wasvery easy for the Gentiles, including the

(02:19:58):
police and the British public, toconclude that Jagg, the Ripper, was
Jewish. This theory was supported byGraffetti. The Yuwe are the men who
will not be blamed for anything.I found near the body of Cathering Edwas.
It is very likely that the writingquickly erased on the wall could have

(02:20:18):
incited an anti- Semitic mutiny,as Commissioner Charles Warren, a writer of
the Jewish Chronicle, expected, inSeptember of one thousand eight hundred and eighty
- eight, said that the foreignJews of the ist Enn had been in
danger due to the sensational murders.Sir Robert Annerson, in his autobiography of
nineteen hundred and ten, pointed outthat the police generally felt that the Ripper

(02:20:41):
was a low- class Polish Jew. Anderson said the reason he had not
yet identified himself guilty was because theJews did not systematically cooperate with Gla Law
when it came to ratting out thecriminals around him. It is possible that
he will be consummated with the formersuspect John Peecer, the Polish Jew who

(02:21:01):
thought he owned the leather apron foundnear Annie Chapman' s body. Piter
was dismissed as a person of interestafter a recognition wheel and the revelation that
the apron was owned by a residentof the adjacent building where Chapman' s
body was found. A witness inthe case of Marc Kelly, a Caroline
Maxwell, said she had seen thevictim twice, in the early morning of

(02:21:24):
November 9, 1880. This informationwas confusing, as the sightings were firmly
recorded, as having occurred after thepolice had discovered Kelly' s body.
Maswell said he saw Maric Kelly onthe way out of Mill School and then
again, talking to a man nearthe PUF Britain, described the clothes the

(02:21:46):
women he saw wore and said thatthe shawl definitely belonged to Marikeley. The
detective to Berline who took her testimonyapparently went to visit Dr Dutton to prove
the theory that the killer might havebeen a woman who had taken Marc Kely
' s shawl thought she might havebeen a midwife. The cases of women

(02:22:07):
accused and convicted as murderers in VictorianEngland received great attention from the press.
All the outrageous details of his crimeswere reported. In nineteen hundred and thirty
- nine, William Stewart proposed asomewhat convincing argument for Jack to be a
woman in his book Jack from Ripperto New Charry. According to Stewart'
s theory, a midwife could walkthe streets of London in the early hours

(02:22:31):
of the morning without drawing attention.If they saw her with her clothes stained
with blood, she could explain itas a result of her profession. A
midwife would have the medical knowledge toremove a uterus and kidney. Even if
discovered in the vicinity of one ofthe crimes, a midwife could easily explain
her presence with the selection of amidwife as the Ripper. Based on no

(02:22:56):
evidence provided. At that time,Stewart suggested that crimes were committed out of
spite, a vice to which criminalwomen are addicted. Of course, rancor
was a special feature of women's character. Steward' s selection,
based on the misogynistic stereotype, belongsto the same old schools of thought that
elevated an unknown Jewish butcher Kscher toprime suspect. More specifically, Stewart felt

(02:23:24):
that the midwife' s killer wasan abortionist and sought to prevent her former
patients from reporting her to the police. The most interesting evidence presented by William
Stewart had to do with the murderof Mary Kelly, although the police initially
hid it. Kelly was three monthspregnant. At the time of her death,
she, according to Stewart, calledan abortionist. Stewart proposed that Mary

(02:23:48):
Kelly undress to be examined and foldher clothes carefully and put it on a
chair. When she was like this, exposed and lying in bed, the
abortionist killed her. Then, accordingto Stewart' s theory, the killer,
discovering that her clothes were covered inblood, undressed and threw her own
clothes. She put on Mari Kelly' s hat, shawl and skirt and

(02:24:11):
left. This woman was seen byCaroline Maswell twice after the murder. Stewart
believed that Mari Kelly' s killerand the other victims of the Ripper were
finally captured. I identified her asMary Pircy. On October 24, 1990,
Mrs Pobé Hall and her daughter Tillyvisited Mary Pircy at her home in

(02:24:35):
Camden Town. Neighbors reported that theyhad heard screams and noises of violence coming
from the house. At 16 hours. That same night Mrs Hall' s
body was found in a pile ofgarbage in Hamstead. His head had been
crushed and almost completely separated from hisbody. The body of an eighteen-
month- old boy was found deadin Finchley. Pircy' s house,

(02:25:00):
when examined by the police, wassprinkled with blood and pieces of hair were
found. Also found was a pokerand a knife with blood. Pircy was
tried, convicted of murder, andhanged on December 23, 1990, eight
hundred and ninety. There' sabsolutely nothing connecting Pircy to any of the
White Chapel murders. She doesn't seem to have been a midwife and,

(02:25:24):
as far as we know, shewasn' t known on the streets
of Whitechapel. The only thing thatlinks her to the Ripper' s murders
is the fact that she dismembered hervictim, Mrs Hall. With the growing
enthusiasm for the mystery of jagg theRipper, it is quite explicable that one
of the most famous doctors of thelate Victorian era is related to the case

(02:25:45):
However, the name of Sir ArthurConan Doyle does not appear among the writings
about the Ripper as a physician,but as a writer of mystery stories.
By the end of the century,Conan Doyle had begun his literary career.
He published a study in scarlet inone thousand eight hundred and eighty- six.
He modeled in part his detective SherlockHolmes from his university professor, the

(02:26:07):
Scottish surgeon Joseph Bell. In athousand eight hundred and ninety he published by
handouts The Sign of the Four,a school of study in scarlet. Doyle,
eager to deviate from his Sherlock Holmescharacter, wrote in one thousand eight
hundred and ninety- three the finalproblem in which Holmes and his evil nemesis,

(02:26:28):
Professor Moriarty, died in the RainchbackFalls. Sherlock Holmes' s demand
for stories undoubtedly driven by the mysteryof Jaggle' s real life, Ripper
forced Doyle to resurrect his hero innineteen hundred and three on the adventure of
the empty house. What Conan Doylethought of the mystery of Jaggle Ripper.

(02:26:48):
Tom Collen, who wrote a seriousand thoroughly researched book on the subject in
a thousand nine hundred and sixty-five, autom of Terror. Jagg The
Ripper, his crimes and his timen read revealed Doyle' s ideas about
the Ripper' s identity. Colinsaid Doyle was of the opinion that Jage,
the Ripper was a man who disguisedhimself as a woman as part of

(02:27:09):
his plan to avoid being discovered.Apparently, one of Doyle' s sons
wrote to Collin telling him that hisfather thought the Ripper was a man who
had some rudimentary knowledge of surgery perpetratinghis crimes dressed as a woman so that
he could easily approach his victims.This was not the theory that Doyle put

(02:27:31):
into practice in his jag story thewhore' s killer in which SHERLOCK Holmes
dresses up as a lure and catchesthe real killer an inspector from Scotland Yard.
The case of Jagge, the Ripper, due to his notoriety, was
and continues to be forage for fictionwriters. Under the guise of fiction,
the describers have given themselves up toall kinds of speculation about Whitechapel' s

(02:27:54):
murders. These fictional recreations of theevents in London in eight ns eighty-
eight and the subsequent police investigation areoften confused with real history. The author
of several pleasant detective novels, diangMansen, published by Conan Doyle Nolts The
Secret of Jaggle Ripper. Two thousandand fourteen. In his story, Sherlock

(02:28:16):
Holmes and his Edinburgh master, JosephBell, intend to solve the White Chapel
murders. They both searched the policefiles and then independently wrote the killer'
s name on a paper and exchangedthem. They both agreed. The pieces
of paper were sent to the policeby Bell. The murders stopped. The

(02:28:39):
police never announced the name of thekiller identified by Doyle and Bell, and
the papers with the name they shouldbe in the surviving police files have disappeared.
This is another example of papers thatmysteriously disappear from police files for the
creators of hypothetical scenarios of murders byamateur detectives. The absence of corroborating evidence

(02:29:01):
in police files naturally leads to theassumption that there was a cover- up
of evidence. The idea that therewas a conspiracy among the police to suppress
information about the identity of jagg theRipper is a recurring motive in those described
by the Ripper Fans. Taking intoaccount the various statements about jagg the ripper

(02:29:22):
in the memories of the policemen whowere intimately related to the case, none
of them even insinuates him that therewas some kind of consistent conspiracy between the
authorities to conceal evidence or the identityof the killer. As all conspiracy theories
developed around the investigation of White Chapel' s murders imply hypothetical witness information documents
that do not exist because they weresystematically suppressed. Chapter nine, the aristocratic

(02:29:54):
ripper. As famous as Jagg wasthe Ripper at the time of his murders
and since then it is perfectly naturalto imagine that he was someone important.
There is something unsatisfactory in the theorythat he was a low- class evil,
an anodyne inhabitant of the poor communityof East London. The idea that

(02:30:15):
he was a homicidal lunatic with orwithout particular knowledge of human anatomy is for
many a disappointment. Add to thisthe remote possibility or not that the police
were involved in a cover- upand you have all the sights of a
higher story. In nineteen hundred andseventy, almost a century after the White

(02:30:35):
Chappel murders, a story suddenly arousedpublic interest in the story of Jaggle Ripper.
A British doctor t e to Stowell, published an article entitled Jack the
Ripper. A solution. Although Stowelldid not name the alleged killer, he
was identified as an individual with powerand wealth, his family was said to

(02:31:00):
cover up his criminal behavior because,otherwise, he was an exemplary member of
the British aristocracy. The story wasfollowed by a worldwide avalanche of articles questioning
whether the Ripper had real blood.Stowell himself became an instant celebrity. He
did not live to enjoy his fame, as he died shortly after admitting that

(02:31:20):
he thought that jagg the Ripper wasthe Duke of Clarence. It was he
who was described by the witnesses ofthe time as the knight observed near the
scenes of the murders. The storyof how the Duke of Clarence came to
the fore in recent theories about theidentity of Jaggle Ripper is as tangled as
all theories about White Chappel' smurders. Stowell told a writer of one

(02:31:46):
of the co- authors of theexcellent Jaggle Ripper, summary and verdict of
one thousand nine hundred and eighty-seven who had advised a descendant of Queen
Victoria' s ordinary physician. Heasked Stowell to examine the roles of Sir
William Golle Stowell to help her decidewhat to do with documents referring to certain
confidential matters. It was a clueto the Duke of Clarence' s secret

(02:32:13):
life. Prince Albert Victor, Dukeof Clarence and Bon Dail, was born
in one thousand eight hundred and sixty- four. He was the eldest son
of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, who would ascend to the British throne
in nineteen hundred and one, afterthe death of his mother, Queen Victoria,
Prince Albert Victor was a world travelerand officer of the British army.

(02:32:35):
In a thousand eight hundred and eighty- nine, Queen Victoria tried to get
Alberto Victor, or Eddie, asshe was affectionately known, to marry a
German princess. She rejected his proposal. She fell in love with a French
princess, but her father refused togrant her permission to marry a non-
Catholic. Alberto Victor' s fatechanged with his proposal and subsequent marriage in

(02:32:58):
orchentas ninety- one with Princess Mariade Teck. There' s no evidence
to prove it, though. PrinceAlbert was involved in the Cleveland Street scandal.
None of the prostitutes named him aclient of the gay brothel. His
name was mentioned by Lord Somerset Somersed' s lawyer. I was among those

(02:33:20):
named after the Burdel Dontory. Noneof the customers at Cleveland Street' s
house were brought to trial. However, the gossips of the time and since
then have speculated whether Prince Albert Victorwas homosexual or bisexual. It seems that
almost everyone had something to say aboutit. It is said that a prominent

(02:33:41):
Lord God Dar, who was presidentof the Supreme Court of England, said
that Alberto Victor, whom he knew, had participated in a scene of male
brothels and that a lawyer had tocommit perjury in order to exculpate him.
The suspicion that Albert Victor had frequentedthe Cleveland Street brothel was confirmed by the
assumption that Lord Somerset and an incomewitness could have been protected by the father

(02:34:05):
of Albert Victor, the Prince ofWales. The documents of the royal physician
that Stowell inspected apparently referred to thestreet scandal of Cleveland E involved Prince Albert
Victor as a child sodomizer. Thedocuments, he said, further indicated that

(02:34:26):
Alberto Victor did not die in onethousand eight hundred ninety- two in the
Grippe epidemic, as was the officialline, but was sent to an asylum
with tertiary syphilis. If anyone shouldhave known this was the doctor Doctor Wool
It' s pure speculation that hewas aware of a lot of information about
Albert Victor' s sex life.Some have said without any firm evidence,

(02:34:46):
that Dr Gooll carried out the WhiteChappel murders to cover up or divert the
police from the rape crime of AlbertVictor, as is suspiciously common in convoluted
accounts purporting to be definite solutions.To the case of Jagg the Ripper,
Dr. Gool' s gone.Maybe they were destroyed by his daughter by

(02:35:07):
Council of Stowell. There is theenduring attraction of the theory that Albert Victor
was the Ripper, that other membersof his circle have been absorbed by the
jaws of the amateur investigation suspects.For example, after deciphering many tiny clues
in Stowell' s writings and words, one has been implicated. JK Stephen

(02:35:28):
was a homosexual friend of Prince AlbertVictor at Cambridge University in one thousand eight
hundred and eighty- three. Whenhis subsequent employment records as an employee in
Wales were verified in 1, 80808, his absences from work coincided with the
murders in London. A poem hewrote about the murder of a woman was

(02:35:48):
resurrected as a kind of icing ofthe cake, proving her guilt. The
information that exists about JK Stephen indicatesthat it was a steta that showed the
kind of strange behavior that we couldclassify as bipolar today. However, there
was no indication that she had theleast inclination for violence or that she hated

(02:36:09):
women. Royal Court records reveal thatPrince Albert Victor was occupied outside London when
the White Chappel murders occurred, whichsome have seen as a confirmation of the
prince' s involvement in the ClevelandStreet scandal and, therefore, in the
White Chapel murders. It was hisdeparture from England in October of one thousand

(02:36:31):
eight hundred and eighty- nine.His journey, planned well in advance,
was intended to be a state inspectionof India, which was then an important
colony of the British Empire. Whenshe returned home, she was followed by
Margery Haddon, who was, accordingto the representatives of the Royal Court,
a deranged alcoholic. She claimed thatshe and the prince had been lovers in

(02:36:52):
India and that she was pregnant withher son. Alberto Victor admitted that he
may have had an affair with Margeand Haadon, but he vehemently refused to
be the father of his son.The matter was dealt with quickly and was
forgotten, except in the nine hundredand twentieth century, when Hadom' s
son wrote a book in which heclaimed to be the son of Prince Albert

(02:37:15):
Victor. He was accused of extortingthe royal family, imprisoned and ignored for
being a nutcase. The character ofPrince Albert Victor was praised by the press
during his life at his death.It was described in the highest terms by
influential politicians. It was not untiltwo mid- twentieth- century biographers wrote
about him that it was suggested thathe was lazy, uneducated and a weakling.

(02:37:39):
In a biography at the end ofthe 20th century, he is described
as a man with unspecified dissipations thatwere mainly homosexual in nature. It was
said to be little manly and alwayssweet, gentle, quiet and charming.
This negative view of Prince Albert Victorhas been behind the modern resurrection. Nothing

(02:38:00):
about him as the prime suspect inthe White Chappel murders. With the character
of Prince Albert defiled by biographers StephenKnight in his book jagg the Ripper of
Final Solution one thousand nine hundred andseventy- six, he was able to
take the last step and theorize thatthe handsome royal was the Ripper. Knight

(02:38:20):
argued that Stowell' s involvement inthe ist murders was just the tip of
the Iceberg. Stowell' s storyabout the death of Prince Albert Victor as
a syphilitic glocus interned in a madhousewas no matter how sensationalistic it was.
Three doctors who attended the prince's death from pneumonia documented his diagnosis and

(02:38:41):
outcome. The theory that the princewas the Ripper gained renewed validity. After
an broadcast on the BBC Ripper casein the last of the shows, the
producers cited the testimony of a JosephGorman. As with all the CONS SNSS
theories. Gorman had a dubious storyto tell. He claimed that his real

(02:39:05):
name was Joseph Zicker and that hewas the illegitimate son of the famous painter
Walter Zicker. He said his fatherhad told him that Dr. Goool,
Queen Victoria' s doctor, wasthe killer of White Chapel' s prostitutes.
Gorman' s story became even wilder. He said his grandmother had married
Prince Albert Victor. They had hada daughter who was Gorman' s mother.

(02:39:28):
Therefore, he, on the low, pretended to be the rightful heir
to the English throne. It wassaid Gorman, to cover up the existence
of the prince' s illegitimate daughterthe motive for the White Chapel murders.
All who knew about the birth wereto be dispatched. Stephen Knight in his
book first exposed what Gorman had tosay. The story told that Prince Albert

(02:39:52):
was presented to the painter Walter Zicker. In the artist' s studio he
met a model Annie Elizabeth Crock.With her she had a daughter Alice.
On the child' s birth certificate, the father' s name was blank.
Albert married Anne Crog at a secretceremony. She, according to Gorman,

(02:40:13):
was Catholic. As a Catholic itwould have been totally unacceptable as a
couple for a real Englishman. MarieJane Kelly was the official witness to the
wedding. The prince installed his wifeand daughter in a house on Cleveland Street.
Queen Victoria and the Prime Minister heardabout it and the apartment was raided
to protect the integrity of the crown. Albert Victor was sent to the care

(02:40:37):
of his family, Annie. ElizabethCrog, she was handed over to Dr
Wood. He declared her insane andconfined her to a madhouse. He died
in a thousand nine hundred and twenty. Gorman said Annie Crog' s little
daughter was handed over to Mary JaneKelly Kelly and her friends Mary Nichols,
Annie Chapman, and Elizabeth Stride totry channs to end the scandal. Gorman

(02:41:03):
said, authorities conspired to assassinate women. It was Dr Goole who lured the
victims into a carriage and, withthe help of the carriage driver, Jackney
John Nitley and c Robert Anderson,Deputy Police Commissioner, Dr Wool killed the
women. According to Gorman, theidentity mistake was what led to the murder

(02:41:24):
of Catherine Eddowish, because she wasin the habit of calling herself Mary An
Kelly. Gorman said the cabal triedto kill the girl Alice Cook. The
task fell to Netley, who,in his second attempt to assassinate the illegitimate
royal daughter, was forced to abandonher nefarious feat. For the arrival of
desperate or ashamed passersby, Netly committedsuicide. Alice Coook lived to become Walter

(02:41:50):
Zickerd' s lover and give birthto her son Joseph Gorman or Joseph Zicker.
In investigating the story of Gorman,N N, British journalist Stephen Knight,
he pursued all the evidence assiduously.He found many circumstantial evidence that corroborated
Gorman' s story. The factthat there is a total lack of information

(02:42:11):
about the cover- up and governmentinvolvement in the killings is, according to
Knight, the result of the successwith which the operation was carried out.
The story of Gorman and writer Knightbecomes even more complicated. Among Gorman'
s many claims is that Prime MinisterLord Salisbury, who learned of Prince Albert
Victor' s marriage and secretly orderedthe assault on his Cleveland Street apartment,

(02:42:37):
was a Freemason for those inclined tosee government conspiracies behind inexplicable events. Masons
are an almost essential ingredient as asecret society. They have been associated in
various ways with the new world orderand the Illuminati, who, according to
conspiracy theorists, have been involved incountless plots throughout modern history. If one

(02:43:03):
really wanted to enter into the spiritof conspiracies the subtitle of Night' s
book. The final solution could bea reference to the holocaust, which was
based in part on the forged BookProtocols of the Sages of Zion one thousand
nine hundred and five. The pseudohistory completely manufactured in the Protocols linked Masons

(02:43:24):
and Jews. In Knight' sbook, Masons are treated as they have
often been treated by non- Masonsas insidious conspirators. He says that not
only Lord Salisbury was a Freemason,but also the Police Commissioner, Sir Charles
Warren. It is also believed thatAlbert Victor and Doctor Woll were Masons were

(02:43:46):
Warren and his Masonic cronies in thepolice department, who destroyed any evidence in
the files involving his prince Albert Victor. The piece of resistance in Night'
s antimasonic claim is his belief thatDr Wool, who was perfectly capable of
simply stabbing women who knew too much, mutilated them Following the tradition of Masonic

(02:44:09):
ritual murder. Night tried to answerin advance any question of why, for
example, why the painter Walter Zickerwas not sent away as well, along
with everyone else who knew about PrinceKnight' s marriage and fatherhood, claimed
that Sicker was, in fact,an accomplice to the murders or played a

(02:44:31):
role in participating in them. Knightanswered the question of how Dr. Wool.
The killer had suffered a stroke theyear before the White Chapel events.
According to Knight, Dr Wool wasnot sufficiently incapacitated by his stroke to prevent
his murderous activities. Chapter ten.The Jagge, the Ripper. Artists guy.

(02:45:01):
Among the many theories about the identityof Jagge the Ripper, the most
interesting and intriguing is that the Ripperwas the painter Walter Zicker. Interesting and
intriguing are key words. In thiscontext. It must be recognized that they
contrast strongly with the uninteresting and mundanelives of low- class suspects. The
validity of the Ripper' s murdershas come to depend on their attribution to

(02:45:26):
high- class men or notable individualsin Victorian society. If Whitechapel' s
killer was supposed to be, noone sane or crazy The only entertainment you
can have in this real serial murdercrime story is that the case was never
solved in the public mind. Amurder is not solved by police incompetence or

(02:45:50):
because the authorities have covered it up. Both allegations were brought to the attention
of the police. In the caseof the Ripper, there were three things
about Walter Zicker that contributed to seeinghim considered a serial killer. He was
born in Germany, he was anartist and he was more than strange.
Sicker moved in with his London familywhen he was eight. His father Oswall

(02:46:11):
was a Danish painter who developed asuccessful career in England. Young Walter Zicker
tried to act first. He abandonedthis dream and entered Gliselade School to study
painting. He dropped out of schoolprobably because there wasn' t much he
could learn there that he hadn't already acquired from his father. He
became assistant to the American engraver andpainter James Abbot mcnill Whistler, and then

(02:46:37):
studied impressionism in France. In Londonhe rented a series of studies in working
class neighborhoods. During the 1980s hewent and came to the continent, where
he kept a lover and possibly fathereda son. Walter Zicker. Like many
in London, at the time ofthe Whitechapelle murders, I was fascinated by

(02:46:58):
the case. After changing her orgshe stayed at number six in Mornington growing
her landlady told her that her roomhad been rented earlier to someone she suspected
was jagg the Ripper. This isunlikely to be true, as the accommodation
is more than an hour' swalk from White Chapel. Zicker was also
interested in another murder. It happenedin Camden Town, where Zicker had a

(02:47:24):
studio. On September 11, nineteen- seven, the prostitute Emilly Dimolk was
found murdered in her bed in CamdenTown. His partner had been slaughtered at
the time. Bert Transhaw came homein the morning and found the door locked.
He borrowed a key from a neighborand came in to meet g his
friend' s scene lying on abed stained with blood. His throat was

(02:47:48):
wildly cut from ear to ear.They didn' t steal anything from the
floor. The police identified an artist, Robert Good, as their prime suspect.
The strongest evidence was a postcard cakefound in Demok' s room.
An old girlfriend identified the letter onthe card as Robert Wood' s.
At Good' s trial, hislawyer demolished the crown case. After retiring

(02:48:11):
for fifteen minutes, the jury declaredGoood innocent the mystery of the murder In
the closed room, Walter Zicker's interest was aroused to such an extent
that he produced a series of worksof art that titled the murder of Camden
Town. The images don' tshow the murder itself. Maybe we were
inspired by the murder, as itoriginally had other titles. The story told

(02:48:35):
by Joseph Zicker, alias Gorman,which was the starting point for Stephen Knight
' s amateur investigation into White Chapel' s murders seems to be totally fictional.
In nineteen hundred and eighty- seven, the editor of a magazine aptly
titled blued Hown pursued some of Gorman' s alleged grandmother' s evidence,

(02:48:56):
Annie Elizabeth Crock said it was aura model she had posed for Walter Zicker.
Night' s statements about Anni Crook' s place of residence on Cleveland
Street were incorrect. The Cleveland Streetfloors were demolished in one thousand eight hundred
and eighty- six, so AnnieCroug could not reside there. He moved
to the basement of number six onCleveland Street when the new buildings were finished,

(02:49:20):
and remained there until 1, 80, 933. This was some time
after he was allegedly declared insane byDr. Woll. There is no record
that Anni Crook was admitted to anasylum. She remained in a nursing home
in a thousand eight hundred and eighty- nine, while her daughter, Alice,
who according to Gorman, was hermother, was sent to a recreation

(02:49:41):
center. Records found by the editorof The Bludhown indicated that in nineteen hundred
and two, Alice and her motherAnnie lived at number five Pancras Street and
then in nine hundred and six livedat Paul and Street World House. Anne
died in a nursing home in ninehundred and twenty. It all points to
his mental crisis occurring towards the endof his life. To his death.

(02:50:05):
He was listed as a non-Catholic church in England, which allegedly caused
such a stir when his supposed affairwith Prince Albert Frederick was discovered. She
has not been imprisoned in a mentalinstitution since a thousand eight hundred and eighty
- eight. Because of how Nytbelieved a cabal of Masons. The fantasy
story of Night' s murders wassoon after its publication undermined by Joseph Zicker

(02:50:28):
' s confession, alias Gorman.This designation could better reflect the truth if
Joseph Gorman Alia Zigger is reversed.Gorman retracted his Jagg story. The Ripper,
Prince Albert Frederick and the police hadno complicity in the murders of the
Ripper were not committed by Doctor GoalAlthough he revealed that his story was a

(02:50:52):
bunch of lies. Gorman continued toinsist that he was the son of Alice
croug and the prince and that hismother was a lover of Walter Sno,
whose name adopted the identification of WalterZicker, as the main suspect in the
case of Jaggle Ripper, was thesubject of an ingenious and meticulous research project
carried out by the prolific American detectivenovelist Patricia Conwell. His book by Crade

(02:51:18):
of Willer. The closed case ofJaggle Ripper, published for the first time
in two thousand two, is intended, as his subtitle indicates, to be
the definitive solution, an enigmatic caseof serial murder. Despite this, the
ripper regions have not been deterred fromcontinuing to speculate on the crimes nor has
it served much to curb the constantflow of the book on Jaggle Ripper.

(02:51:41):
Cornwell' s case is possibly themost convincing of those that have been put
up for Jaggle' s identification Ripper. A central element of his research is
the analysis of surviving letters sent byindividuals or by a person who identified himself
as jagg the Ripper. It isclear that these letters, which add up
to almost 300, are not allthat the police received in the course of

(02:52:05):
their investigations in one thousand eight hundredand eight and one thousand eight hundred and
eighty- nine. And beyond thatthey are found in the national archives of
the United Kingdom, in keV andin the London Corporation' s record office.
Some of the letters that the policerejected at the time for being sent
by maniacs and advertising seekers have sketcheson the margins. These, according to

(02:52:26):
the art experts consulted by Cornwell,coincide with Walter Zicker' s works.
He also says that the peculiarities ofwriting disguised in letters are consistent with the
peculiarities of Zicker' s writing indocuments that are known to have come out
of his hand. While comparing jagg' s cards to the ripper and Zicker
' s writing and art is amatter of judgment, what is not is

(02:52:50):
the identification of the paper used.In many cases, the role of the
Ripper' s cards is identical tothe one that Zicker used to use.
Among the many letters sent to thepolice by someone who claims to be the
Ripper, there are mockery of hisinability to catch him. The writer had
the habit of using the word hajaand calling the authorities fools. Conwell skillfully

(02:53:16):
checked the available writings of the DanishGerman father of Zicker. The artist Oswalt
Zicker and the stories about him anddiscovered that he was a fan of the
silly word when he denigrated others.An example of the many haja in the
letters received from the Ripper by thepolice is the children' s poetry Hahaja

(02:53:37):
catch me if you can, it' s a cheerful dance lark. I
' m carrying love, Jack,the Ripper. The Jaja expression, according
to Corwell, was one of thefavorites of Walter Zicker' s first formal
art teacher, American James Abbot MagnellWhithler. In his work as Whitler'
s recording assistant in one thousand eighthundred eighty- two, Sicker would have

(02:54:00):
become well acquainted with his master's speech pattern. Whitzler. He was
a grumpy and self- serving man, which was reflected in his speech.
According to all the accounts cited byConmwell. Walter Zicker was an excellent copycat.
In fact, his first choice fora career after graduating from school was
acting, although he left this path. There are enough reports of his later

(02:54:22):
behavior in life that indicate that heloved to entertain his guests with dramatic performances
and was said to be very skilledat adopting the costume in the makeup and
dress application. Corwell argues that WalterZicker may have suffered some kind of sexual
dysfunction and, if so, mayhave had a harmful effect on his mental

(02:54:43):
state. Zicker is known to havehad three operations on his penis in his
youth. They went to repair fistulasor ulcers. The operations were probably necessary
to correct the termination of the urethra. The fact that repairs had to be
made on three different occasions indicates thatthey were not entirely successful. From the

(02:55:05):
few evidence there is, it seemsthat these surgeries could have caused Sicker to
suffer from a sexual anomaly. Bytracing pieces of evidence about Zicker' s
problem, Patricia Conwell points out thathe joked that he came to England to
be circumcised, that is, tobe operated on his genitals. Zicker'
s physical deformity apparently unsolved. Heseems to have been harassed throughout his life,

(02:55:28):
as he was prone to urinary tractinfections. The cause of his death
on January 22, nineteen hundred andforty- two, was diagnosed as uremia
or life renal failure, chronic nephritis, or urinary tract infections. Corwell cites
an interesting letter sent to the policeon October 4, 1880. The writer,

(02:55:50):
who signed as Scottus said that theRipper possibly had his private member destroyed
and is now taking revenge on sexwith these atrocities. Patricia Conwell was extraordinarily
diligent in her study of the Ripper' s letters received by the police.
He observed that many of them werewritten with tyranny lines and stained with bright

(02:56:11):
inks and paints. Several of themincluded what she called phallic drawings of knives.
One of them, dated July 22, 1880, and addressed to dear
chief, mocked that I challenge fourlives, plus four more cuts. To
add to my small collection, Corwelldescribes a particular letter. He was received

(02:56:33):
by the police on October 18,1980- 89. The letter was first
drawn on the paper and then paintedin red. This is something that could
be an artist. I' llbe in Whitechapel on the 20th of this
month and I' ll start avery delicate job around midnight on the street
where I ran my third examination ofthe human body. In a postscript of

(02:56:54):
the letter, the Ripper says PSif the cops can read them? Las?
Las? Las? Las? Las? Las? Las? Las?
Las? Las? Of the largestspelling lack, says Conwell, as well
as spelling faults in other letters fromthe Ripper, appears to be an intentional
mistake by the writer to induce thepolice to suspect that the Ripper was a
partially literate man. What surprised Connwellwas that, despite the spelling faults in

(02:57:18):
the Ripper' s letters, whichhe examined, some very difficult English words
were correctly written as delicate. Thismakes it suspicious that the writer was not
a partially educated individual, but waspretending. Cornwell examined the surviving letters of
the Ripper in search of watermarks onthe paper found that some had watermarks identical

(02:57:41):
to those of the letters signed byZicker to his correspondents. Other research by
Cornwell revealed that some of the Ripper' s letters were on paper, which
came from the same batch of manufacturedpaper that Sicker or his mother used in
their surviving correspondence. Jack' sletters, the Ripper received by the police,

(02:58:03):
were signed with various names, forexample, Jack Jagg, the Ripper
or Southy Jack. One of thesignatories who didn' t refer to the
ripper was Mr Nemo. Conwall's study of the watermarks of these cards
points to the same paper suppliers asthe letters signed by the Ripper and the
cards described by Zicker. Before theletters signed by Nemo were sent to the

(02:58:28):
police, a letter appeared in TheTimes of October 2, 1980, signed
by Nemo. The correspondent suggested thatthe Ripper was a man who in ordinary
life would not be the kind ofperson the police would suspect was, Nemo
thought, a rather harmless man,educated, not to say giftful in his

(02:58:48):
manners. Such a man, whendrunk or drugged, could unleash his lust
for slaughter and blood. The numerousrelative letters there that the stripper of the
police files examined Conwell from the pointof view of graphology or physical characteristics and
writing patterns. The great differences inwriting between the letters confused the police in

(02:59:13):
their day, assuming that most ofthe letters were of different cranks. The
police ignored them. However, Conwelland the experts he consulted believe that Zicker
adheres to visual imitation and skillful trickslike writing backwards. He could have consulted
a book of contemporary calligraphy and usedwhat he saw to make several writings by

(02:59:35):
adding a tint of primitivism. Someonewith Zicker' s personality, who,
according to Corwell, was that ofa cold, calculating psychopath, could have
easily believed that the police who werefoolish would never notice his writing disguised and
much less suspect that the drawings ofthe letters were from an accomplished artist Conwell
says that few people on the planetwere as bright, intelligent, cunning or

(03:00:01):
fascinating as Walter Zicker, and heknew it as they usually do. The
brilliant psychopaths. The fact that Zicker' s letters about the Ripper were sent
from different and widely dispersed post officesmade it almost impossible for the police to
certify them as coming from one hand. Corwell traced the origin of many of

(03:00:22):
the letters and discovered that they weresealed dead in places where horse races were
held or where Henry Irving' stravelling theatre company was performing. It was
with Henry Irving' s troop thatSicker had worked for the first time as
an actor. Perhaps already in onethousand eight hundred seventy- nine. Sicker
was known for his enthusiasm for horseracing and Corwall points out that meetings were

(03:00:46):
the kind of places where, underthe Zicker costume, he could easily go
unnoticed among the crowd. He alsosays that prostitutes who worked in his trade
circulated among the multitude of careers.Sicker, like his French contemporary, Toulouse
lau Crek, was attracted to musichall shows of sexual content. A thousand

(03:01:09):
eight hundred and eighty- eight.It is known that he frequented Gath'
s Variety Palace and London. Thisplace offered glimpses of female flesh that otherwise
remained hidden in the educated Victorian society. In addition, minors were part of
the show. They represented adult sexualmovements. To the delight of the male

(03:01:31):
audience, Zicker made sketches during theseshows. These with pieces of paper were
studies created to be reused in theiroil paintings or engravings. They might well
have served as erotic memories created fortheir own pleasure. It is not known
whether the Ripper' s murders endedwith Mary Kelly or Alice McKenzie. Maybe

(03:01:52):
they didn' t. As faras we know today about the psychopathic murders,
it is highly unlikely that the femalekiller will be permanently satisfied with his
sexual and violent acts. Already inone thousand eight hundred ninety- six another
body appeared. Emma Johnson' smurder has some similarities to the White Chapele
murders, except that it happened ina faraway place in berg Shire. On

(03:02:16):
September 17, women' s clothingwas discovered in a field. The pieces
were identified as belonging to Emma Johnson, who had mysteriously disappeared. On September
15, police dragged a nearby coveand pulled out a naked body that was
identified as Emma Johnson' s.The autopsy revealed that Emma had suffered a
blow to the head before she waskilled. Patricia Cornwell did not relate the

(03:02:41):
murder to Walter Zicker, although shepointed out that at that time he was
in the process of separating his firstwife Elling and was under great tension as
an accused a defamation case filed againsthim by another artist. Zicker, if
he was really a psycho killer,he didn' t give up his search

(03:03:01):
for sexual stimulation by murdering Conwell women. She comments on the case of a
woman named Emily Demok, whom shegave birth to, while apparently keeping her
face down in her bed. Shewas naked. Emily was a prostitute who
worked in Camden Town. She wasmurdered on September 11, nineteen hundred and
seven, Robert Wood, an artist, was charged with the crime, but

(03:03:22):
was acquitted in the period following themurder of Mary kele Lee Conwell. He
believes Jagg, Ripper Walter Zicker,continued to kill and send mock letters to
the police. The murder of AliceMackenzie in July of one thousand eight hundred
and eighty- nine was not theonly crime the Ripper could have committed.
Corwell mentions the murder of an eight- year- old girl, Caroline Winter,

(03:03:46):
near New Castle to Pontaine, innorthern England. She was killed on
August 6, 1980, after sufferinga fatal blow to her head. His
body had been mutilated. According toa southern friend the last time she was
seen was with a man with blackhair and mustache who offered her money to
go with him. She had notbeen slaughtered and the mutilation of her abdomen

(03:04:09):
was not as extensive as that ofthe London victims of the Ripper. In
December, not far from where CarolineWinter' s body had been found,
decomposed human remains were discovered. Amongthem was the right hand of a woman
with her little finger cut off.In one of the letters the Ripper sent
to the police at the end ofthe previous year. I said I'

(03:04:31):
m testing my hand at disarticulation andsaid I could send the police a finger.
On the 13th of February, oneof the eight hundred and ninety,
another prostitute, Francis Colls, waskilled in Whitechappel. Dr Phillips, who
performed the autopsy, reported that hehad not undergone any mutilation, so he
ruled out the possibility that the crimewas the work of the Ripper. After

(03:04:54):
Colles' murder, it seems thatany possible connection between the Ripper and other
murders that was discarded and that memoryof the 1880s crimes in Whitechapel faded from
the minds of the police and thepublic. In a thousand nine hundred and
eleven, Zicker remarried his first wife, Ellen, continued to keep him after

(03:05:15):
his divorce, even though while theywere married, he had continually complained that
he was a wasteer without any conceptof responsible management of his money. Sicker
took his new wife, Christine DrumontAngus, minor damage to France and settled
in Diepe there until the outbreak ofWorld War I forced them to return to
London. Zicker became increasingly impatient withhis sick wife and returned to his habit

(03:05:43):
of attending shows in music halls andwandering the streets of London all night long.
After the war, Zicker and Christinereturned to France. She and Zicker
lived in the old gendarmerie in Ruinsthat Zíker had bought in Ebermeu near Dieppe.
She died there on the fourteenth ofOctober of a thousand nine hundred and
twenty. Zicker' s pain overhis wife' s loss was said to

(03:06:07):
be manifestly false. Sicker married Englishartist Terest Lesor in one thousand nine hundred
and twenty- six. She hadbeen one of the attendees to the Camden
Town artists' group meetings that gatheredin Sicker' s studio and exhibited together
a thousand nine hundred eleven thousand ninehundred twelve. In the late 19th century,

(03:06:28):
the hysteria by Jack the Ripper graduallycalmed down in the early 20th century
with the publication of several memoirs bypolice officers who had experienced White Chapel'
s panic, there was a renewedcuriosity about the murders among the reader audience,
very few of whom lived in WhiteChappel. The unsolved murders of the
Ripper have a special fascination not onlyfor serious amateur detectives, but also for

(03:06:54):
eccentric nonconformists. The latter were notmissing in England. Among them was the
well- known archeist Alley Ster Crowley, who called himself the beast. Six
- six- six, he gotinto the story of Jagg the Ripper with
an absurd story. Croglie was thebisexual founder of a mystical cult, an

(03:07:15):
experimental drug user and, according tomany, the most evil man in England.
In his youth he joined the hermeticorder of the golden aurora and acquired
knowledge of ceremonial magic. During theGreat War, Crowley lived in the United
States. There he was a loudadvocate of the German cause. He later
said he did it as a coverwhile acting as a spy for British intelligence.

(03:07:39):
Upon his return to Europe, hefounded the occult telema abbey in Sicily.
During his stay in the United States, Crowley was associated with Baroness Victoria
Cremers Cremers was a member of MadameBlabatisca' s theosophical society. She worked
as editor of the theosophical magazine.Lucía Cremers told Crowley a story that she

(03:08:03):
herself, before moving to the UnitedStates, had heard of her lover.
Mabelle Collins. Collins was a memberof the theosophical society and a writer of
soterical themes. Mabel Collins was,according to the Baroness, bisexual. As
such, he had intimate relations witha British cavalry officer who was also a

(03:08:24):
doctor and magician. At the timeof their relationship with the military, some
argued that, since the Ripper wasactually a hidden magician, they believed that
he killed his victims in places that, by drawing them on a map,
drew a seven- point cross.The wave of murders for those who are
inclined to give credit to occult beliefs. It was motivated by the magician'

(03:08:46):
s desire to achieve invisibility. Prowleysaid Baroness Cremers, of Italian Anglo origin,
told him that Mabel Collins told himthat she had decided to break up
with the mysterious gentleman. She wasreal about it because he had in his
possession some compromising letters from her.Her putative lover, Baroness Cremers, offered
to help her. She broke intothe gentleman' s bedroom and discovered under

(03:09:11):
his bed a briefcase containing seven nightties that were pieces with dry blood.
The summary of this story is thatAlister Crowley learned of the Ripper' s
name from her friend, Baroness Cremers. But as in all good conspiracies.
According to the story told by alater theorist of the Ripper, Prowley refused
to divulge the name of the Ripper. Apparently why doing so would challenge the

(03:09:37):
staff' s power. This seemsto be fake. Crowley did appoint the
Ripper in an article he didn't publish in life. It appeared printed
for the first time in a thousandnine hundred and seventy- five. The
name revealed by Crowley was Captain Dongston. In another version of the history of
black magic the staff, since theRipper and occultist Lesbiana Cremers and hi beloved

(03:09:58):
Mabel Collins, the gentleman' sidentity was given as Lin rums from Ongstone.
In this version of the story,Cremers, Collings and Ongstone dedicated themselves
to the cosmetics business in London.That' s when Collings revealed what Ongstone
had told him about his previous life. He, he said, came from

(03:10:18):
a wealthy family, but had themisfortune of falling in love with a prostitute.
His father threatened to cut off hispension if he didn' t marry
a rich heiress. Before the Ongstoneceremony, she promised her true love Fairy,
the prostitute who would see her againin a year' s time on
the West Mindsel Bridge, without Ongstonknowing. Hada committed suicide, so when

(03:10:41):
she returned on the date set forher meeting, she was only received by
the spirit of Hada. That's when he dedicated himself to murdering other
prostitutes in pursuit of the magical goalof invisibility. All this seems more like
the argument of a fast- pacednovel than the story of something that actually
happened. According to Cremers who spoketo the Onstone, at some point,

(03:11:05):
it wasn' t Jagg the Ripper, but he knew who the Ripper was.
When he was hospitalized for some unknownHounston ailment, he met a surgeon
named Morgan Davies, who confessed tobeing Jack the Ripper. The whole matter
was investigated by amateur detective Bernard O' Donnell, who is said to have
written an unpublished book relating his discoveriestitled Black Magic and Jack by Ripper.

(03:11:31):
What is documented is that a certainRosslin from Hongston Stevenson came to the police
in December 1880 and made a statement. He said that the Ripper should be
someone whose sexual inclinations were such thathe could only get satisfaction by sodomizing the
women the killer. Dr David,who had confessed to the Onstone at London

(03:11:52):
Hospital, was, according to hiscolleagues, a man who had never touched
a woman. O o o so che o Sons, son of Ongston,
witnessed an argument between five doctors inthe hospital. Dr Davies represented his
theory about the time women were murdered, including the sodomization of the victims.

(03:12:13):
There is nothing in the evidence providedby the various doctors who examined the victims
of the case to indicate that anyof them were sodomized. If they were,
it is likely that the state offorensic medicine of the time was such
that sodomy could not be detected.Pre or post morting. The Onston Stevenson
' s statement to the police wasnot followed by any arrests of Omstone,

(03:12:35):
which could have been a qualified doctor. He did a lot to get involved
in the murders. The fact thathe threw suspicion on Dr Davis may have
been a waste or just a ployto get reward money for the capture of
Jaggle Ripper. In any case,what we know from unreliable sources is that
the Onstone was a pathological liar.A statement to the police at the end

(03:13:01):
of 1, 80808 may reflect theirdelusions caused by alcoholism or mental illness.
In the nine hundred and ninety,when the tradition of the Ripper began to
appear again in tabloid books and articlessuddenly appeared. Jaggle Ripper' s diary
was discovered by Michael Barrett. Hewas a scrap dealer from Liverpool. He

(03:13:24):
said the manuscript journal had been givento a friend, a tony Deveruks.
Barret' s wife had another story. He claimed that the book had been
in his family' s possession foryears. The diary, originally an album
of clippings or photographs. It hadthe first forty- eight pages removed.
There were sixty- eight handwritten pagesand seventeen blank pages. In the end,

(03:13:46):
whatever the dubious origin of the manuscript, it was published as the Diary
of Jaggle Ripper in nineteen hundred andninety- three. The author of the
Jaggle Ripper Journal was identified as Jamesmy Brick. The post since the Ripper.
Mybrick was a Liverpool merchant who inthe course of his business often traveled
to the United States. He marriedFlorence Chandler, the daughter of a banker

(03:14:11):
from Alabama. Apparently, my Brickhad several lovers, which put his marriage
in trouble. His wife also hada lover. A thousand eight hundred and
eighty- nine. May Briaek's health worsened and he died on May
11, 1980. His brothers,who suspected the apparent cause of his death,
demanded an autopsy. He was founddead from arsenic poisoning. The suspicions

(03:14:35):
fell on Florence Maybrick was tried formurder and found guilty. The death penalty
was commuted and langi decided in prisonuntil one thousand nine hundred and four,
when his case was re- examinedand he was released. The saga of
Maybrick' s murder and subsequent protestsof his wife' s innocence flooded the

(03:14:56):
press in both England and the UnitedStates. The appearance of Maybrick' s
diary, of course, caused astir among the ripper' s enthusiasts.
Most doubted its authenticity. The originalmanuscript was submitted to scientific tests to determine
the age of the ink, butthe results were inconclusive. A calligraphy expert

(03:15:18):
came to the conclusion that writing seemedmore modern than would have been usual in
Jagg' s time the Ripper.In addition, the lyrics did not match
My brig' s in the documentsthat the newspaper signed were indeed written in
a genuine Victorian scrapbook, but thisdid not exclude the possibility that it was
a modern forgery. Michael Barrett confessedto making the Ripper' s diary.

(03:15:43):
On January 5, 1990, ninety- five declared that he was the author
of the newspaper and that his wifewrote it from his typed notes and dictation.
The idea of a fake diary wasconceived by Barrett, his wife and
Deveruk. Barrett said he read alot about his Yag the Ripper and studied
the biographical details of James Maybrick's life, which were available in the

(03:16:05):
old press reports about his poisoning andhis wife' s appearances before the Barrett
Court claimed that Maybrick was an excellentcandidate for the newspaper' s authorship,
falsified because his movements could fit thedates of the Ripper' s murders.
In his statement, Barrett said hetold his wife Ann I' m going

(03:16:26):
to write a bestseller. We can' t fail. He stated that he
bought the book in which Anna wouldwrite the diary at an auction in London.
In nine hundred and ninety he removedthe seal of the book maker and
all photographs. Barret made his detailedconfession. He said why he had not
received what he owed for the journal' s publication. He claimed that a
thousand nine hundred and ninety- four, his wife, now separated, had

(03:16:50):
offered him a bribe of twenty-zero pounds to keep quiet. At the
end of January, one thousand ninehundred and ninety- five, Barret made
another affidavit confirming what he had alreadyconfessed. This second affidavit was motivated by
threats he had received from his wife' s agents, according to Barrett.
He accused them of cutting off hisphone line and beating up the whole Barret

(03:17:13):
falsified newspaper about jagg. The Rippergave a lot of material to the collaborators
of Ruper Oll Gis, a magazinethat began publishing a thousand nine hundred and
ninety- five. Arguments in favorof and against Barrett Maybrick' s diary
and the ripper sometimes become quite heated. This is not unusual about stripper fans

(03:17:35):
who treat their investigations into White Chapelll' s murders very seriously. The real
or imaginary association of My Breath,with Jagg the Ripper was re- examined
when a pocket watch appeared in Juneof nineteen hundred and ninety- three.
Inside the stage is scratched j myBrak and I' m Jack. Around

(03:17:56):
the edge are scratched the initials ofthe five ns victims called canonical Jack the
Ripper, Nicholes Chapman, Stride,Eddowas and Kelly. The clock has been
subjected to two scientific analyses. Bothsuggest that the scratched letters could be quite
old. The connection between the clockand the Mybrick family is somewhat dim by

(03:18:18):
its owner, who died in twothousand eight. He said he bought it
at a jewelry store in Liverpool.Apart from that, Paul Fedman, who
wrote Jack the Ripper the final chapterto prove that maybrig was Jagg the Ripper
and that his diary is authentic relatedAlbert Johnson, the owner of the watch
to the Mybrick family. Other stripperenthusiasts have put their research talent into collecting

(03:18:41):
circumstantial evidence that Maybrick was the ripper. Looks like he was traveling from Liverpool
to London on the weekends when theWhitechappel murders occurred. He was known at
White Chapel even maintained a relationship witha woman there. There is evidence that
he frequented at least one brothel inor the United States. Mybrick, in
the treatment of his declining health,became addicted to a medical tonic containing arsenic.

(03:19:07):
This could have had a detrimental effecton your mental state. In support
of the theory that Mybrick was theRipper, a letter signed by Jagg,
the Ripper Diego Lawrence published at LiverpoolECCLE in October 1880, has been cited.
The author of the letter says heis about to embark on New York.
The letter says William De Rubinstein.In a study of the evidence relating

(03:19:31):
to Mybrick, he explains the five- week interval between the murders of stry
and Eddowath on September 30, 1880and the last murder, that of Mary
Kelly, on November 9. Thename of the distiller, Rubinsteine says,
could have been adopted by Maybrick ofLiverpool' s local thugs who were called

(03:19:54):
High Rivers. An example of theflourishing interest in Jagg. The Ripper at
the end of the 20th century isthe book by professional police officers and historical
researchers Stewat Evans and Paul Gainey Jagge, the Ripper of frying American Serial Killer,
published in a thousand nine hundred andninety- three, tried to prove
that a Francis Dumbletty, an IrishAmerican, healer, doctor, scammer,

(03:20:20):
misogynist who hated prostitutes, pederast andcollector of preserved uteruses. Tumbletti, a
pathological liar, pretended to be ahighly decorated military doctor. His autobiographical pamphlet
of one thousand eight hundred seventy-two was decorated with a photo of him
in the Prussian army uniform. Dumblettywas in London in one thousand eight hundred

(03:20:41):
and eighty- eight. He wasarrested on November 7 on a charge of
serious indecency and, perhaps as reportedby Brooklyn citysen as a suspect in the
bail Ripper case, escaped first toFrance and then went to the United States,
where he was kept under surveillance.The n the detector or s p
a r a R. Boss.John George Little Chide, although he had

(03:21:03):
no direct connection to the Ripper's case, still had a suspect in
mind. In a letter he wroteto a journalist in September of nineteen hundred
and thirteen, little Chi said thathe had not heard of a Dreeet doctor
mentioned in connection with the murders ofthe Ripper, but that, according to
him, a certain Dr T mighthave been confused with Dr D. Dr

(03:21:26):
T identified as an American healer namedTumbletty Tumblett, about whom there was a
police file. He was not knownas sadistic, but his feelings toward women
were remarkable and bitter in extreme.Since the 1990s, the scientific literature on
psychopathy has expanded by leaps and bounds. What the police were unaware of in

(03:21:50):
a thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight when they thought the Ripper was crazy
has been very well completed by anumber of recent scholars. Psychopaths or partner
for are typically great liars who relyon their own talents and powers to divert
those who follow their lead. Theytend to be convincingly charming and do not

(03:22:11):
show their acquaintances any of their darkthoughts. They are polite and easy to
carry and completely lack remorse or guilt. They have no shame for any of
their actions. These characteristics make apsychopath unable to feel genuine love. Rather
they are manipulators and can deceive eventheir supposed close friends. Psychopaths, according

(03:22:31):
to all the evidence gathered by theresearchers who interviewed them, have a great
need for stimulation. They can actwith a total lack of empathy. These
acts are exciting for them. Psychopathsare impulsive, tend to move a lot
and are irresponsible in leading their ownlives and in their actions towards others.

(03:22:52):
It' s almost a certainty thatresearch on the ripper will never be fixed.
In two thousand sixteen, an Americanprivate investigator named Randy Williams, set
out to solve the case after astudy of some fifty prolific serial killers,
developed a common profile for all ofthem. Among the characteristics of serial killers

(03:23:13):
are a high level of education anda compulsion to join the police investigation.
One way or another, Williams foundthree suspects in the Ripper case, which
matched the profile were lewis den,shout and sac on Dowsky and Samuel Friedman.
All three were connected through their membershipin the workings Mans Education Club.

(03:23:35):
The organization was condemned by Williams becausehis newspaper published articles in Hebrew calling for
the overthrow of the UK government andits replacement by a communist socialist regime.
Williams discovered that Dame Schoutz and Friedmanwere arrested six months after the Whitechapell murders
for assaulting a police officer during ademonstration. A fellow deterrent at the demonstration

(03:24:00):
was Samuel Friedman, who did notsurrender. Witness George Hutchinson, who described
the man he saw with Marc Kelleybefore she was killed, described him as
someone wearing a gold chain and ahorseshoe- shaped tie pin. Randy Williams
points out in this context that DameShoth was a jeweler by profession. Williams

(03:24:22):
says educated Daim Schutz orchestrated the murders, jose Drowsky collaborated, and Friedman acted
as a watchman. As for themotive, Williams has proposed that all three
carried out the murders of prostitutes inWhitechapele to draw attention to the situation of
the poor in England. This wouldnecessarily affect the change of the political system.

(03:24:43):
William' s book is called SherlockHolmes and the Autumn of Terror two
thousand sixteen, because his research usedthe literary style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Conclusion, it is almost certain thatthe inventive strippers of the future will

(03:25:03):
give new names of suspects, theywill write volumes that will be added to
the bookshelf on the stripper. Inthem they will analyze the evidence that others
have accumulated to support their theories aboutthe case and then propose some still unknown
individual whose psychological profile and motive,means and opportunity fit those of the Ripper.

(03:25:26):
A puzzle like the Ripper' scase will be an attractive prospect for
desktop gums for years. Among thevarious things that can be learned from the
Ripper' s case is that murder, especially serial murder, is a garden
of immensely seductive delights for the humanmind that, for some reason, likes

(03:25:46):
to stop. In the macabre,there are also other important lessons to be
drawn from the Ripper case. Theselessons have taken a long time to learn,
if they have been learned. Theinvestigation of a murder by the police
is prone to the trials of investigators. The detection of crime is not always
as objective as it should be.No matter what is possible in forensic science.

(03:26:11):
The detection of crimes will always becomposed of art and science in the
case of the Ripper, suspicions fellupon all types of individuals because of their
mere social condition. The poor,immigrants and Jews, the mentally ill,
and the humblest trade workers such asthe killers were identified as suspects for reasons
that had nothing to do with theevidence. Which, for all the evidence

(03:26:35):
we have, the police didn't do openly at the time. It
was to blame the victims for thetrade they had chosen, prostitution and their
lack of sobriety since the murders ofthe gutter. Blaming the victims has been
a way of dealing with the murders, especially in cases that remain unresolved.
There are not a few cases ofserial killers in which the arrest of the

(03:26:58):
perpetrator has been inhibited by the policeattitude in which the victims are considered to
be people living on the margins ofsociety and, therefore, the vigorous persecution
of their murderers is of no urgentconcern. Since the time of the Ripper,
cases of murder of prostitutes, addicts, indigenous people, homosexuals or destitutes

(03:27:20):
have periodically been subject to superficial tension. The importance of the crime victim in
terms of social status is an importantfactor contributing to the justice system in the
broadest sense. This was Jack,the Ripper discovers the real creepy crimes behind

(03:27:45):
one of the most famous serial killers. Written by Rex Buckley, narrated by
Vinicio Aguinaga for Cowick Global
