I hadn't read this before and found it interesting. Do others think this was Jack ?
While I know there were many examples of people thinking they saw the Ripper, this makes sense for several reasons:
- Similar description to other witnesses (Lowende, PC Smith, Marshall)
- Blood stain on sleeve
- Agitated (after killing two people)
- Timing was right (likely to have walked around since the murders)
- Knew he was being followed and crossed Brushfield Street several times to lose the follower
- Appeared to be hiding something under his coat (a knife or blood stained shirt)
