Bury and the Chalk Messages

[Errata]

Maybe he wanted it known he was the Ripper. At least at that point in time.

Are you wondering then if there is a kind of pathology that would result in a man purposefully exposing his secret in a public way?

[John Wheat]

If he was the Ripper or a copycat why didn't he rub off the messages? Did he think it would be funny to advertise but couldn't afford to take out an ad in the paper?

Are we even sure he saw them? They could have been quite new, and they may not have used that back door often.

I think it highly unlikely Bury didn't know about the messages even if they weren't written by Bury or Ellen.

If Bury wasn't either the Ripper or a copycat killer why did he not rub off the chalk messages.
