      Well, I suppose he's more plausible than some suspects.

        Agree, Robert Mann certainly seems more plausible than the majority of suspects and fits the local working class demographic.He was on the spot and a bit odd. But ripperologists seem to prefer wasting space discussing 'suspects' who wern't even in Whitechapel at the time.

          I agree, he is looking a promising candidate. Does anyone know where he lived in 1888ish. I'm curious as to whether he fits in with the geographical profilers. He seems a good fit with the psychological profilers.

            Now Mann has his own thread, switching to it. Miss Marple

              Of course, … they were not!

              Mann appears to have lived most of his life in the facility that was the Whitechapel Union Workhouse from ~1842 to 1872, and the Whitechapel Union Infirmary thereafter. He is listed as either a resident 'inmate' or 'pauper' in each of the census-years 1851, 1871 and 1881.

              Having been a mortuary attendant in the autumn of 1888, he had obviously been granted certain responsibilities. Perhaps he had also been granted a certain degree of passage, with which he was able to occasionally 'come-and-go'. But he most certainly would have been held accountable for his 'comings-and-goings'; and it is absolutely unthinkable that he would have been granted any sort of passage between the hours of midnight and 6:00AM.

              Robert Mann is a non-starter!

                    Ah. Now then. I never said he was a promising candidate. Just more plausible than, for example, Lewis Carroll.

                      I didn't say that you did say he was a promising candidate !
