Simmonds

Hello Jon. Info, please? I did not find him in the A-Z. Perhaps the home office files?

Thanks.

The best.

I have absolutely no interest in Suspect Ripperology but there was an interesting chappy called John Simmonds, who was a 22 yr old hawker who lived at 60 Wentworth St, and he was admitted to the Whitechapel Infirmary a week after the double event suffering from syphilis, and was discharged on Nov 8th!!

Hello J. Tertiary syphilis might be more likely. This has often been suggested.

What do you think about one of the JTR reasons to have committed the crimes to be a terminal illness, like tuberculosis or cholera...?
