Dave,

Yes, T. J. Bulling.

I can recall the Littlechild letter saying something like nobody else got concessions from the police like "Bullen"...is that what you're referring to?

All the best

Bridewell,

The Littlechild letter says Bulling was close to Monro. So I wonder if Bulling wrote this, and if Monro was a source for it.

[Bridewell]

Was this written by Bulling?

Hi, Tradename.

I've no idea, but I'm intrigued as to why you've asked the question.

Regards, Bridewell.

Hi all

Some more thoughts on Dear Boss from me this morning on my blog here at Casebook:

Those Forced Ha Ha's

deep penetration

Hello Spiro. Yes, I noticed that lovely photograph you had found. I'm delighted that he can be connected with the Balfour plot.

The remarkable thing about Tynan is that--even when discovered--almost no one could believe it was he. He made the obligatory remarks about the Irish and even wore his primrose pin. Seemingly an anti-home rule Tory to the core.

Now THAT'S deep penetration!

Cheers.

nice

Hello Trade. Lovely find. Don't recall seeing it before.

It certainly reflects a prevalent view--that the police and vigilance groups deterred him.

Cheers.

Have you read Tynan's book, "The Irish National Invincibles and their Times"? If not for an inadvertent identification of his photograph by Carey, he'd have slipped the net and remain unknown to this day.

Yes, I located that image of Patrick Tynan and have it reproduced in my book, Jack the Ripper and Black Magic: Victorian Conspiracy Theories, Secret Societies and the Supernatural Mystique of the Whitechapel Murders.

Tynan is likely the man of Macnaghten's reference to the Ripper associated with the leader of a plot to assassinate Arthur Balfour. His book was issued in two editions, first in the US and then in the UK with differences.

These considerations do not preclude that the Whitechapel murderer was an East End local as in 1888 the area was also inhabited by radicals of various shades.

TradeName,

I'm surprised you believe everything your read in the newspapers.

I'm a bit curious about the provenance of this article.

Tynan's book

Hello Trade. Thanks.

Yes, the alleged No. 1. Here's a collection of articles from the New York Times which also cites the Central News:
