One has to wonder whether L. Forbes Winslow was a victim in his own right.
He lost control of the asylum he had been in charge of, due to the machinations of a brother in law and the successful lawsuits filed against him by Mrs. Georgina Weldon.
I wonder how prominent L. Forbes Winslow's name would have appeared within the study of this Case had those events never materialized.

Meanwhile,you know who is now claiming that the Ripper has an accomplice.
One police official thinks Winslow's theory " very funny".
