William Bury the Whitechapel Murderer ?

[Celesta]

Hi Barry,

I've been around but just been quiet. I'm glad to see you're back in action. I had fair hopes for Bury at one time, but there's just not enough evidence to convince me, right now. I'll say I wouldn't be too shocked if he turned out to be JTR.

Take care, Barry.

Unfortunately there are no known photos of him.

His wife wasn't a protitute no,but she did inherit £300 from an aunt and she invested it in railway shares.

more questions Barry...

are there any photographs of Bury that we know of?

Do you know why his wife was a prostitute if she also had an inheritance?

thanks in advance

His wife was very uneducated and could hardly write so i doubt it,Bury was very clever until he went totally unstable.

[babybird67]

could his wife have written it?

do you think?

get the point about being gaga (lady gaga)

Hello Jenny,

Basically there was a message on the cellar door saying that JTR is at the back of the door,and once the door was opened a message was scrawled on the back saying 'Jack the Ripper is in this seller (sic) '

As Bury was the only person in the flat at least 7 days before then it seems he wrote it but there is no proof of that.
The original source is the Dundee Advertiser newspaper.

As for the murder of his wife and breaking her bones,stuffing her into a chest then mentioning it was suicide ,i think he was already ga-ga by then - mad.

hi Baz

voted an 8...

can you tell me more about the writing in his cellar? what is the source for that, do you know?

ANd can you explain why he thought he could get away with calling his wife's death a suicide and then ripping and stuffing her in a box? wouldnt it have been more sensible to dispose of the body somewhere else?


thanks Baz...miss you in chat...come in why dontcha!

Someone is confident giving him a 10...i thought i was the only big Bury supporter around here.

No Friday poll for a while again now,i'm slacking,so here goes :

Following on from the Cutbush poll i created about a month or so ago,the same principle applies for this except we are dealing with the notorious William H Bury .

So as before what is,in your opinion ,the possibility of Bury being the Ripper - 1 being no chance and 10 is a definate:
