"James Evans" in 1888

Ah, but chaps, wait until you discover what prompted the Flemster to alight upon "George Hutchinson" as an alias:

Hi Mike,

Ward-style livings by a serial killer who takes specimens home is still an extremely viable proposition for reasons discussed in another thread. But yes, a fasincating turn for the books of Gareth's part to discover that private rooms could be secured for so little.

All the best,
Ben

Hi again Ben,

You know how much I hate including this possibility, because however "viable" it may be,...perhaps now only if the killer was without any work, penniless and homeless, and forced into a ward situation in a Workhouse.. its practical application leaves a lot still to be answered.

This is a good bit of data I agree, well done Sam, and I think it relegates "ward style" to an even lower notch on the probability scale. Accessible privacy is all I ever sought to make a case for, and I still believe its a superior solution to him hiding in plain sight. Both can work...but only one eliminates any kind of witness to any odd act or late arrival.

Cheers Ben.

But is was never improbable to start with, Mike, for reasons I outlined in detail on a previous thread. I may have misunderstood you, though. Do you mean "ward-style" as in a hospital or workhouse? I thought you were equating them with lodging houses in terms of viability, but I apologise if I've misread you.

Best regards,
Ben

New, "budded" thread created...

Folks - I suggest we keep this thread focused on James Evans. I've opened a new thread here, where the interesting - and more general - question of the "house where Jack dwelt" might be discussed further.

There you are then; what did I tell you?!

Bravo, Sam...!
