    I too would like to welcome you back, Glenn. We met up some years ago, in Bath - if you remember. It is a day I recall fondly and found fascinating.

    Your contribution to Casebook was always of great value.

    Hope you are keeping well, prospering and will be seen here often.

    Holy crap, I've totally missed that guy over there.

    You're quite right, Rob. Clearly a credible candidate, I agree.

    Hi Rob

    Yes I would agree that the chap you have indicated is more consistent with the man pictured in the Toby drawing than the other candidates in the photograph which to my mind don't look like the magazine image.

    However, I have stumbled across this drawing. Does anyone know its provenance? I'd like to get one high-res image for use in my book, if poss.

    The Group Picture

    If you check this site for threads you should find a long discussion about the merits of the images in question.

    Hi Helena et al,

    Scotland Yard Investigates was co-authored by Stewart Evans and Donald Rumbelow. My understanding is that Don was more convinced than Stewart that the figure in the group photograph was Abberline.

    Regards, Bridewell.

    Toby

    Hi Helena,

    The image is from Toby, discovered by Nick Connell back in 1999 while researching for the book The Man Who Hunted Jack the Ripper which he co-authored with Stewart Evans.

    Stewart kindly posted a couple of page pages from Toby here:



    Best wishes
    Adam

    Hi Phil

    Yes, I read some of the threads about the images. Any idea where this one I have posted comes from?

    Regards
