Hello How,

Did I just read this correctly? In 1910 the perpetrator of the Whitechapel Murders was unknown? July 28th 1910... after The Lighter Side of My Official Life came out? Or am I misinterpreting this comment from Mr Masterman of West Ham N constituency in Parliament?


kindly

Phil

The statement refers to the policy of offering a reward at the time of the crimes and not to whether or not the perpetrator was later caught.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your interpretation.

It's not my interpretation, it's what the report discusses: the offer/non-offer of rewards at the time the crimes were committed for the apprehension of a criminal whose identity was not known.
