Can anyone shed any light?

Why does a psychic need Google?

[Supe]

Sam,

Why does a psychic need Google?

Atmospherics disrupting the psychic connection perhaps? Though I often wonder why fortune tellers and the like can get arrested by the police without knowing it's time to shut up shop in advance.

Don.

very amusing

i realise it sounds lame but there it is ...i am brave enough to put it out there at risk of being mocked now perhaps somebody could use their knowledge to confirm or deny the possibility of this mans involvement....bearing in mind i had no idea who he was up until a few hours ago when i used google to research the information i received. psychics dont claim to know everything...i certainly never have

Hi there.
I have never heard of this man in the context of being the Ripper.
Interesting photo of him though if you compare it to the Channel 5 photofit.

[psychicnell]

i agree...thanks for that
i see no reason why he would be connected though?

curious

Nell,

Take a look at this. It's from the Casebook and is at the link below.

Remember Trafalgar Square.

"Bloody Sunday" will be commemorated on Tuesday, 13 November, on Clerkenwell-green by a torchlight meeting to demand the right of meeting in Trafalgar-square, the release of George Harrison, and the dismissal of Warren and Matthews. Michael Davitt, Cuninghame Graham, C. A. V. Conybeare, and Dr. Clark are the M.P.'s who will speak, and among others who will address the gathering are Mrs. Besant, the Rev. Stewart Headlam, Richard Eve, Dadabhai Naoroji, and John Burns. Contingents with bands and banners will march from different parts of London.

At any rate, he worked at a cotton mill in his younger days.

Best,

MP Michael Davitt

Hello, Nell!
You can look up the life of Michael Davitt online. He was a very interesting man who was a lifelong worker for the Irish cause. As far as your list goes, Michael's right arm was crushed by a cogwheel at the cotton mill where he worked and had to be amputated. I can't see this man being the Ripper. He hasn't the profile for it and has no right arm, which I suspect would hamper his 'rippings'. At least it would clear up the ancient Ripper argument about the killer being left-handed!

More from an article to commemorate Davitt's life, "Historian Carla King, in her forword to Davitt’s Collected Writings 1868-1906, Edition Synapse, remarked that during seven years of a brutal prison regime, Davitt turned, with a greatness of soul and a power to forgive reminiscent of Nelson Mandela a century later, from physical force terrorist to a constitutional politician. Davitt inspired Mahatma Gandhi in his campaign against the British Empire."

Thank you for sharing your insights with us, Nell. We need all the help we can get.

[psychicnell]

thank you all for your responses!

i did not know the ripper was believed to be left handed...i think that is also very interesting...i am just wondering why this information would come in connection to the case...the dates certainly fit from what i have researched on the net just now but i agree...unlikely candidate

[Pippin Joan]

My kingdom for a time machine!

I just looked up the names of the speakers at the Bloody Sunday commemoration, and what a line-up! All of these people were the foremost radical activists of their day. It's really a treat to just google each of their names! It would have been fascinating to hear each of them speak.

I'm sure that each and all of these people were keenly interested in what was happening in Whitechapel and saw it as a societal problem.

[Celesta]

Maybe your guy was an associate of Davitt, or someone with a similar profile?

I think I saw something about a museum associated with Michael Davitt, too. He seems to have been very influential on social issues.

At any rate, Nell, welcome to the Casebook.

Best,

Cel

thats an interesting thought....maybe davitt knew the identity rather than it being him....will dig a little deeper in a psychic way if i can!

thank you for the welcome!

I have often wondered whether Michael Davitt may have known the identity of the ripper.Four of the five crimes were committed when he was in Paris .He was there at the same time as Anderson ie up until 4th October 1888 when four of the five murders had already been committed.But hey---maybe he committed them by remote control!

[psychicnell]

that is very interesting...you know so much and i am learning!
ruling out remote control then....do you know who michael davitt suspected? did he ever state his belief?
