Once I learn who besides Chapman had a certain organ removed before September 23 then maybe I'll take the business about a sect seriously. Perhaps I'm just a cranky old SOB, but I get bothered by the amount of time spent parsing elements of newspaper stories that are riddled with error. That is, if... -
Nemo,
I would hardly consider -- then or now -- the Jesuits to be a "strange religious sect." In fact, the quote is "some one of the numerous queer religious sects known to exist in the East End" by which it should be clear the reporter had no certain sect in mind,...Leave a comment:

Rather than Anderson I would have appreciated much more a photo of the 70-year-old beauty queen. Either she was a rare beauty or else the young women at the picnic were especially repellant.

John,
Thanks. But before any angry alums vent, it is Northeastern University. I am well aware of that because of my years in graduate school and the Boston Beanpot hockey tournament contested annually among Boston College, Boston University, Harvard College and Northeastern University....Leave a comment:

Neal,
That might not be so funny when you consider the late, great Belgian chess grandmaster from the previous century, Alberic O'Kelly de Galway.

The notion that Watkins was having a 'cuppa' with Morris while Jack was eviscerating Eddowes was first suggested to modern readers, of course, by Don Rumbelow.

I'm with Cris here. Whatever the reason Gabe was at Miller's Court (and there have been many reasons advanced as to why) his willingness to talk to the press put him in bad repute with both the police and his fellow physicians.

Jon,
I did read that a couple of doctors were not so reticent about talking to the press.
Dr. Gabe was particularly voluble, speaking freely to the press as soon as he exited Miller's Court. That may well be one reason he was never again heard of in regard to the Ripper investigation....Leave a comment:

While Rob and the others are doubtless right that there was confusion about the precise meanings of "lunatic" and "person of unsound mind" and that they might have been used interchangeably by some, it stands to reason that there would not be three choices if at least one person...Leave a comment:

The thing that posters seem to not want to take into consideration is the condition of the body and the light available and the time availabl

Chris and the rest,
A few years back Jennifer Shelden and I collaborated on a series of articles for Ripperologist that surveyed Ripperologists. Each survey used a different selection methodology, but over the course of the three articles percentages of sexual identification remained very...Leave a comment:

Howard,
Still don't have my library handy, but working totally from memory didn't one of the Miller's Court residents report hearing footsteps around 6 am and thinking it was the PC on patrol? Which, if true, would suggest that a PC even came down the court on occasion.

Christer,
Come on, Don - you don´t have to know Tom fairly well to realize that he´s a jester!
LOL, Very true indeed. I hope you are well and not only have time for your hobby but they are biting as often as mosquitoes on a summer's eve.

Christer,
LOL. Tom's joke may have been too "inside," but the Fair Play for Cuba Committee was Lee Harvey Oswald's group. Knowing Tom fairly well, it was assuredly a jest.

Monty,
Food for thought.
Groan! Was that intentional after Debs' comments? In which case you deserve a real pun-ishment.
