Thank goodness we don't have ripperologists who's theories remain exactly the same over a 30 year period. I'd have thought the main positive attribute of any researcher/theorist is to change their opinion as different evidence comes to light.

But Jason you do have Ripperologist who have done and still do champion the same theories Paul Begg to name but one.

What you have to accept is that whatever new material comes forth there are those that will constantly challenge it and wont accept it simply because it goes against their beliefs and of course now his lovechild Leahy is doing the same I just home somebody in the family heard of contraception the thought of any more is frightening.

What developments do you mean? I have read Clutterbuck's thesis, and I don't know what you are referring to.

Also, what do you mean by asking if I am "suggesting the primacy of a Polish Jew line of police inquiry"? What I am suggesting is that Kozminski was a prime suspect in the case, and the police lacked evidence to secure a conviction. I do not believe that the police were looking at Polish Jews in a general sense, nor do I buy any of the Cohen/Kaminsky confusion nonsense.

Prime suspect you are talking utter rubbish someone needs to take you aside and explain to you the differences between a prime suspect, a likely suspect and someone who comes under suspiscion by reason of their actions.

Aaron Kosminski may well have come under suspicion by reason of the incident with his sister the same applies to Cutbush. Thats a long way from sugesting they were prime suspects.

You only have to read all the connecting papers and police correspondence to see how naieve the police were at times. Many of these documents clearly show they didnt have a clue about the killer let alone have a prime suspect, not then nor in 1891 nor in 1895 and certainly not in 1910 when Hans Christian wrote his book,

Lets make it three or shall we say perm any one from three. Aaron Kosminski, jacob Cohen, Nathan Kamiski.

Perhaps four if you add to that the ridiculous suggestion that the police made a mistake or got confused over the names, if that be correct then what other mistakes or names mixed up did they make throughout this enquiry.

You want answers I can give you answers but can you handle the truth !

There has been no new developments on the case against Kosminski.

None

Just the up shot in negatibe posting on case book by certain people coupled with their constant inuendo that they have something new..

which when challenged they fail to produce or add anything more than the same odd stale arguments which all amount to one argument..

Swansons belief that Kosminski was placed in an asylum in March 1889..

Yet not one of you has ever proved that he was NOT placed in an asylum in March 1889..

And no one has proved he was

He quite easily could have been placed in a private asylum and the records have not been discovered,,,

He could also have been abducted by aliens

What it biols down to is we simply dont know everything..because the records have largely been lost or destroyed...and while the reasonable amoungst the ripper community find that a reasonable arguement there are a few odd balls who have difficulty with it..

Yours Jeff

There you go again Jeff just as I said previous the same old chestnut to cover over the cracks "lost or stolen or destroyed records" thats wearing thin now.

No, I am not suggesting a challenge to the validity of Kosminski as a suspect. Never have.

Are you suggesting the primacy of a Polish Jew line of police inquiry in the Whitechapel murders despite developments introduced with Clutterbuck's thesis?

What developments do you mean? I have read Clutterbuck's thesis, and I don't know what you are referring to.
