Antisemitism as a diversionary tactic

A post from David Orsam:https://forum.casebook.org/showthrea...t=morton+rouse (post #30)

In Police Orders of 26 March 1889, P.C. 63L is stated to be Constable Rouse (who was then on the sick list).

A little bit of digging, shows that this was Henry Rouse who joined the Met Police in L Division on 14 August 1882, with warrant number 67055, and resigned on 11 May 1889. Police Orders for 11 May 1889 give his conduct for his certificate as "Very Good".

Thanks!

It would be a nice surprise if Dorset St., PC, mysterious L.64 turned out to be PC LIPSKI 64

Anyway, I heard someone solved that mystery?

I never did get a response to "Lipski" being used as a verb as in I'll come over there and Lipski your ass. Maybe I just imagined that I read that somewhere..

In America, "chippy" is a slang term for a prostitute.

The headline in the paper stated A Romance of Crime. I believe Selwen may be referrng to himself as the romancer.

I read it as "Regards to Lipski... and Abberline, the romancer."

Abberline the romancer would be Abberline nickname?

Possibly an insult to Abberline, rather than his nickname. The second definition of romancer in the OED is "One who deals in extravagant fictions; an inventor of false history; a fantastic liar". Just the sort of insult a criminal might throw at a detective responsible for assembling a case against him.

Hi Batman

I don’t read the racial slur aspect in this particular comment.

I guess what I am saying is, if there was a joke about the search for Lipski, which wasn't a person, is being brought up here as a person. He calls Abberline, the romancer. So it seems to have some funny undertones.

I am just looking for alternative explanations to someone on the force being called Lipski, which would be astounding if true.

Maybe it was the nickname of the officer in charge of the Lipski investigation?

Abberline the romancer would be Abberline nickname?

[jerryd]

Could it be mocking Abberline because he had been out looking for a Lipski character and while they found a few they eventually concluded it was a racial slur?

A reference to the use of the name Lipski I found about a year ago. Walter Selwen was captured in a Bond robbery by Abberline. This post card was forwarded to him from the Vine Street Police Station. Almost sounds like Lipski was the nickname of someone involved in the case?

I think I remember John Betjeman saying something similar.
