Actually, San Fran, Anna alluded to this in her post: "In one of the early press interviews before the inquest Barnett made a very short answer that Mary did not have a child. I think this was printed 10 November. Later reports have him agreeing with the interviewer that she had a child but it... -

Hi Scott.
Well, not just "a" seaside home but Morley House used by the City Police. After being fired from the City Police would he use Morley House when other convalescent homes were available? I don't know. Was Harvey at Morley House, or any convalescent home,...Leave a comment:

Hi Howard and Scott.
When I finished writing the article it was way too long for the Whitechapel Journal, almost all of my stuff is, but I was able to get it down to a manageable size so that it could be run in four parts. Frogg, however, decided to run it in two and that's how it has...Leave a comment:

Doesn't this suggest that Tumblety was...Leave a comment:

Tumblety was called a "woman hater" and this has been taken to mean that he literally hated women and wanted to kill them. This is a misconception.
The term "woman hater" was used for years to mean homosexual. This usage goes back to at least the late 1600's, early...Leave a comment:

Hi Howard.
Yeah, I saw that. There is a mountain of evidence to disprove it, but that doesn’t stop the faithful from preaching the Word of Tumblety.
Tumblety was a practitioner of Thomsonian and Eclectic medicine (today this would be akin to being an herbalists or homeopath)...Leave a comment:

This might be the reason why Tumblety sued the N.Y. Times:
