Interesting isn't it that the Broadmoor files on Thomas Cutbush finally allow us to place his whereabouts during that 'Autumn of Terror' by disclosing the fact that Thomas was complaining to Dr Brookes that he had been poisoned by the good doctor in November of 1888 by giving him 'red lead', and threatening to sue him for £5000 for doing so.
This finally settles a misgiving of mine that Thomas Cutbush might have been confined in an private asylum during the autumn of 1888.
Well, he wasn't. He was 'rambling' around Whitechapel.
Also the 'attack' he is suffering from upon admission to Broadmoor in early 1891 is described in the file as having a duration of two and a half years.
Bang in the middle of the 'Autumn of Terror'.
