On the subject of Fleming's height, I begin to wonder now if the entry was supposed to read 6"1.

What think ye?

Ben

Hi Ben,

just back from the documents posted by Chris Scott (and provided by Rob Clack).
His weight was "11 st 8lbs" - and these two 1 are in no way similar to the 7 (in 6'7).

But you will note that "160 years" appears in the previous paragraph...just above...

I therefore maintain that we have to choose between:

1) 160 years (???) and 6'7 (ie: Henrietta was also ripe for Stone, and the mother of Giraffe Man)

2) there is a problem with the "6" and we should read: "150 years" and "5'7"

Still the best, Ben...

Joseph Fleming (aka George Hutchinson, aka James Evans)...

My top 3 are

1. William Bury, because of the GSG, i.e 'The juwes are not the men who WILL Be blamed for nothing'

2.By the same reasoning, someone called Preston North 'Preston North end
for the cup!'

3. Popeye.

btw I'm with Dylan, if you ever hear I have been murdered get Tom Westcott to investigate.
all the best martin

Hi Johns,

Cohen, Kaminsky and Kosminski are 3 different guys, aren't they ?

Amitiés,
David

Hi David.

I honestly don't know what to make of the whole Cohen/Kaminsky/Kosminski situation, except to say that it sounds a plausable theory.

Here it is > http://www.casebook.org/suspects/davidcohen.html

...although I have no idea if this theory is still valid or retains any weight as I tend to concentrate my efforts on Mr Bury and little else.

Or something to that effect with a different pencil.

Hi Stephen

This is just perpetuating of MYTH. There is no evidence what so ever that the writing “Kosminski was the name” was in a different handwriting or forged.

It has been pointed out that the writing on the endnotes were written in a very slightly different pencil with a purple tinge. More recently it has been observed that some of the margin notes were also written with a pencil that has a purple tinge.. There are slight variations in writing, which Dr Davis has explained by a difference in age (although it seems impossible to know how he concluded this).

What he has concluded is the writing, all of it, is probably Swanson’s. Which would seem to confirm the conclusion reached by Totty and the original assessment made by Martin Fido.

There is no evidence what so ever that the Marginalia is anything other than what it purports to be. And it does not serve the field in anyway to continue trying to miss lead people.

Ah yes, I did notice and posted the following in full:

On suspects return to his brothers house in whitechapel he was watched by police (City CID) by day and night. In a very short time the suspect with his hands tied behind his back he was sent to Stepney Workhouse and then to Colney Hatch and died shortly afterwards- Kosminski was the suspect-DSS

But must have been on another thread? I seem to be following the same conversation over several threads at present and have just gotten over tierd..

Hi Johns,

I see what you mean. Then you believe in the Polish Jew theory.
Ok, but do not name individuals.

[Ben]

Hi David,

I agree, the inclusion of both sixes seems unusual. The height simply doesn't accord with the weight, and it's very difficult to understand how Henrietta could possibly have traced the start of her ancestors' "insanity" to within a precise decade. I'm just wondering how we can possibly account for their presence on the document when we know they were written by one of the examining doctors?

Best regards,
Ben

What evidence links any of the above named people to the killings.NeitherAnderson's claim,nor Swanson's entry in the book is evidence that Kosminski stood in Kelly's room,or Berner Street or at any of the scenes of murder, and that goes for all other named persons.Lets have a real piece of evidence before calling anyone a suspect to murder.Anyone know of such.

[Tom_Wescott]

“Kosminski was the name”

Suspect....Kosminski was the suspect.
