Rob, the Whitechapel Murder file is for unsolved murders within a specified area and timeframe, its not a declaration they are part of any series. Bond and others created the so called series with their opinions and little else
Its a series of unsolved murders. And if you are refering to the Metropolitan Police. Than I have a lot more respect for there opinion then yours.
Well you have certainly been to the Begg school of counter arguments which teaches how to argue against something but not provide any evidence to negate the issues you are arguing against.
At the moment I do not know if "Jack" was a conspiracy [a group of people entering into a secret agreement to achieve some illicit or harmful objective]—or a plot [any carefully planned secret scheme, usually by a small number of persons, to secure sinister ends]—or an intrigue [duplicity and deceit for criminal or treasonous objectives]—or an illegal ploy [a subterfuge or gambit as part of an overall strategy] perhaps designed for the greater public good.
But I am more than willing to continue exploring such possibilities.

So what's to lose? Everything else has failed miserably.

Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

Hi Simon, a very interesting quote you've found. This brings to mind another comment made either by Anderson or Warren in 1888 or 1889, regarding pushing the boundaries of the law, I believe in their door to door searches. Do you recall the comment I'm thinking of?
(1) Diplodocus did not chew. It used its needle-like teeth to clip soft foliage from trees, then swallowed the foliage whole. This is why diplodocus needed such an enormous stomach (and a body to surround it), because unchewed food needed to digest there.
(2) A pedant could possibly turn Lynn's game against him and point out differences between Nichols and Chapman. Nichols had multiple cuts to the abdomen, for example (as did Eddowes, no?). And of course Chapman had organs removed, which Nichols did not. If these are the work of the same killer, we have somebody willing to do things to victim n+1 that he did not do to victim n.
(3) Lynn, how do you believe that Eddowes was subdued? She had her throat cut while laying on the ground, same as C1 and C2. (Or at least, if you are ruling out strangulation, what forms do you see as plausible?)

It was Warren in a letter to Home Secretary Matthews, and he points out the repercussions of doing such an illegal act.
Best Wishes,
Hunter
