The Seaside Home: Could Schwartz or Lawende Have Put the Ripper's Neck in a Noose?

[Trevor Marriott]

I've never understood why he believed that the traditions of his department would have suffered if he had said more.

It could be that he had nothing further to say and this provided a convenient excuse for not doing so.

According to Abberline when interviwed in 1903

“We have never believed all those stories about Jack the Ripper being dead, or that he was a lunatic or anything of that kind.”Scotland Yard is really no wiser on the subject than it was fifteen years ago. It is simple nonsense to talk of the police having proof that the man is dead. I am, and always have been, in the closest touch with Scotland Yard, and it would have been next to impossible for me not to have known all about it. Besides, the authorities would have been only too glad to make an end of such a mystery, if only for their own credit."

This quote just goes to show the alleged Seaside I.D. is a **** and bull story.

Does it have to be all or nothing with the Seaside I.D. or is it possible the basic story is true and was greatly embellished to make Anderson look good?
