  • Jack the Ripper consequences.

    Hello everyone.

    I would like to find out more about some terrible consequences / aftermath that happened to individuals during or soon after the Automn of Terror.

    Like, someone who got falsely accused and sent to prison, someone killed by a mob, someone who fell into disgrace and never recovered.

    There is the obvious Warren's resignation. But I'm trying to spin this idea trying to find out if there were others who suffered from the events.

    For fiction purposes.

    Thank you.

    Wel ischensmidt was arrested and I have found other reports of persons being arrested, but most were released pretty quickly. What about all those poor families never suspected at the time but now having fingers pointed at them?

    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

      Technically, Warren's record was marked by the failure, but he remained elegible for future employment and was second in command (to Sir Redvers Buller) in the early part of the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899 - 1902).

        Not what I'm looking for.

          What about Maria Coroner, the young woman who got sent to prison for sending Ripper letters? You could call her a 'victim' of the Whitechapel hysteria along with her own morbid imagination.

            Well John Pizer is an obvious one. Called "Leather Apron," it was taken as all but a given that he was the killer for a while and he had to go into hiding. He must have lost a lot of business after that.

              maybe there was Koz who got locked up because someone else wouldn't swear to him.

              Or Cross who had to revert to Lechmere so people would stop bothering him.

                In Donald Rumbelow's book he mentioned a case of the police chasing somebody completely unrelated to the murders. An angry mob went after him simply because some bystander yelled "Jack The Ripper!".

                  Leather Apron

                  Hello Kensei. So far as can be determined. Thick was the ONLY one to call Piser "Leather Apron."

                  Cheers.

                    It's Dew himself who saw the man while he was checking out the Chapman's crime scene. He started running after him, the crowd thought he was the ripper.

                    They almost assieged the police station. The criminal's nickname was Squibby.

                      PC Thompson reproached himself for the rest of his life after he discovered the body of Frances Coles for remaining with her instead of 'chasing after Jack the Ripper'. He was murdered in 1900 so he had some bad luck.

                        Oh. I like this.

                        I also like Dr Thomas Bond's suicide.

                        I mean, for fiction purposes.

                        Thanks.
