Jack The Ripper
And Carl Feizenbaum(sic) Supposed To Be One and The Same Man
A SENSATIONAL STORY
To Be Published In New York This Morning-He Had A Mania For
BUTCHERING AND MUTILATING
Women--The Story As Told By His Lawyer To The Press.
WILL IT PROVE TRUE?
By Associated Press:
New York,April 27-
The following is from the gist of the article ( see link to follow for those who do not subscribe to Ripper Notes) which Wolf Vanderlinden touched on in his story on Feigenbaum yet the emboldened section differs slightly:
This is Lawton speaking here:
" I questioned Feigenbaum closely and found he could converse with intelligence on surgery and dissection, but when asked if he knew anything about these subjects he would feign an ignorance that was unnatural.."
I have to ask this of you, the reader:
If Lawton questioned Feigenbaum who for the rest of the world sans Lawton apparently required an interpreter...and discovered Feigenbaum demonstrated intelligence when it came to conversing on surgery and dissection....why would Lawton have to "ask" Feigenbaum whether he "knew anything about these subjects",since he has already claimed....in the same sentence...that Feigenbaum conversed intelligently on them?
Let me pose it again with a different analogy:
"I questioned Ally Ryder closely and found she could converse with intelligence on baking and preparing stews,but when asked whether she knew anything about these subjects she would feign an ignorance that was unnatural..."
Furthermore...if Feigenbaum reacted with a feigned ignorance, then the entire concept of him being Jack The Ripper probably emanated in the lawyer's mind.
Again, Wolf Vanderlinden's article is more in depth ( I like going after the juicy stuff...) and is highly recommended.
Can't trust them lawyers,folks...Last edited by Howard Brown; 12-24-2008, 06:33 AM.
