Evidently, the men whom you refer to did not recognise themselves in the line quoted above.
Whom did Anderson mean by we and our?
There seems to have been a remarkable shortage of policemen who were party to a conclusion reached which necessarily had a radical effect on the course of the investigation.
For Anderson was stating quite clearly that a point was reached in the investigation when, in spite of the absence of a suspect, it was decided that the murderer had to be a Jew.
Abberline was unaware of that.
Smith knew nothing of it.
Reid denied it.
Swanson kept his mouth shut.
How could the investigation have taken such a dramatic turn with no-one or almost no-one knowing about it?
How could Abberline have been seeking gentile suspects while Anderson had already ruled them out?
How can anyone accept Anderson's comment quoted above to be true?
