7. New York City. 1891. A woman has been found viciously murdered on the top floor
of a decrepit Lower East Side hotel. The signs indicate that the murder might have
been perpetrated by none other than London's infamous Whitechapel killer,
Jack the Ripper, and the city is frozen in histrionic fear until the police finally
catch the killer—a French Algerian sailor. Or did they? When more bodies show up,
young police detective Robert Falconer must team up with an eclectic band of
sleuths to track down a shadowy figure whom they believe is the true killer
and who just might be…the Ripper.

'Old Shakespeare Case'
***********************************
For what it is worth, the following about the
"Old Shakespeare Case" was written by Edmund L.
Pearson. It appears in an essay, "Do we execute
innocent people?" that was in an extended edition
of Pearson's first book of crime writings, STUDIES
IN MURDER (New York: Random House - The Modern
Library, 1924, 1933, 1935, 1938), p. 331-332:
"The case of French and Old Shakespeare is a pet with writers whose
susceptibilities are easily
touched in behalf of so-called "unfortunate"
convicts. Ameer Ben Ali, an Algerian nicknamed
Frenchy, was convicted in 1891 of the murder of a
dissolute old creature named Carrie Browne, but
better known on the waterfront of New York as
Old Shakespeare. The surroundings and the method
of the murder were so excessively unpleasant as to
lead the newspaper to suggest that Jack the Ripper
had arrived in New York.
Chief Inspector Byrnes was accused of being
over anxious to make a quick arrest in order to
justify his boast that the Ripper could not elude the New York police
Forsome reason, perhaps
doubt of his sanity, the jury found Frenchy guilty
not in the first but in the second degree; he went
to Sing Sing, and was shortly transferred to
Matteawan as one of the criminally insane. His
sentence was commuted about ten years later, he
was returned to Algeria, and Messrs. Borchard and
Lutz [Edwin M. Borchard, Russell Lutz - CONVICTING
THE INNOCENT] now present his case as an instance
of the conviction of the innocent. Of course, it
does not bear at all on the matter of unjust
executions, but it illustrates rather great
readiness to list as innocent a convict whose
status may be said to be doubtful.
Far from convinced as to Frenchy's total
guiltlessness, I ventured to consult upon the
subject Mr. Francis L. Wellman, author of the
celebrated book, THE ART OF CROSS EXAMINATION.
Mr. Wellman, as assistant district attorney, not
only took part in the prosecution of Frenchy but
shared in some of the preliminary police investigation.
He agreed that Inspector Byrnes'
boast was unfortunate, but said this had nothing
to do with the main question.
"The police surgeon," said Mr. Wellman, "had
taken certain specimens which we submitted to Dr.
Formand, an analytical chemist in Philadelphia.
His testimony, which was not shaken at the trial,
linked Frenchy so closely to the murdr that there
could be little doubt in anyone's mind."
Doctors Austin Flint and Cyrus Edson of
New York corroborated Dr. Formand. And it was
agreed that Frenchy had easy access to Old Shakespeare:
they had occupied neighboring rooms
in a dubious hotel. Mr. Wellman made it plain
that he thought it a coniderable
assumption to include Frenchy in any list of innocents."
The essay itself is an attack on the Borchard and
Lutz book, but Pearson was a no-nonsense supporter
of the death penalty. For us, however, the
observations regarding Frenchy's punishment and
commutation are worth consideration.
