Hi Jonathan
I think it's rather convenient that you think that Macnaghten's "mistakes" were to protect the Druitt family. You are only making the assumption that Farquharson and Macnaghten talked, which they might not have done. Rather, I think the converse of what you think. You think that Macnaghten was the master of the truth about the Ripper case, and Druitt was the killer. In contrast, I think Macnaghten and Anderson were part of the comedy of errors that played out at Scotland Yard and that none at the Yard knew the real truth behind the murders.
Best regards
Chris
