Isenschmid(t) Records: Part 2

[martin wilson]

Profuse apologies.
I got over excited thinking I had found a connection to JI, and why Levy gave the reporter the impression he knew something but wasn't telling 'Hence he assumes a knowing air'.
It's still possible I suppose that Levy knew who the man with Eddowes was, he was a butcher,although not a pork one.
John seems a bit young at 19 to be mistaken for 30-35, but those broad shoulders led me to think who was most likely to resemble JI, and his son seemed a fair candidate.
Back to the drawing board.
All the best.

"No," he said, sheepishly.

Hello Jon. Thanks.

Bah.

Sheep are not noted as carnivores.

It might have been a warning nibble, Lynn.

article

Hello Jon. Thanks.

"One of my favourite Ripperologists, JG Simons, covered it all in an amazing article in the Rip. He even sourced a photo of the police surgeon who treated Piggot's hand."

Cute. I'll see if it's in an issue I have.

So his story ran--as I understand it.

(Hope he wasn't feeding someone. heh-heh)

Apparently, he thought he was feeding a sheep.

Hi Lynn

Could be. Was that in the report?
It could also be no link to Piggott nor yet JI. Just an over active imagination.

Could be an over active imagination, but someone bit Piggot`s hand in Hanbury Street that morning.

Reformed Jewish butcher

Hello Martin. Thanks.

Hmm, not a good many Jewish people would condescend to butcher a pig?

Cheers.

It's interesting that Joseph Hyam Levy was a pork butcher

Where did you get this information?

[martin wilson]

A couple of separate observations.
It's interesting that Joseph Hyam Levy was a pork butcher.
His committal in October 1891 was four months after the death of his son John, I've done some due diligence and searched the site but can't find a cause of death.

Hi Lynn

As I stated above, this may provide a
link to the man with the foreign accent.

Trying to seduce a prostitute, using shiny trinkets, luring her into 29 Hanbury st.
All this just a few hours before Annie Chapman's death.

Fascinating!

Whilst checking up on the ankle injury we were discussing I saw this post.

It refers, as you know, to the Emily Walters incident.
Don`t you think it was William Piggot that she encountered?
The statement he later gave to the police tallies quite closely with this newspaper account.

religion

Hello Niko. Thanks.

The "Jewish" may have been a slip of the pen. He seems to have been C of E.

Cheers.

Hello Chris. Thanks for this.

Say, what about the "RC" under religion? Most earlier ones indicate C of E.

Cheers.

Hi Lynn,thank's for the link. Congratulation's to you and Chris Scott for you work on this thread. In Isenschmid's admission it states his religious persuasion's as (Jewish crossed out) church of England.

From this I understand that Isenschmid first claimed to be Jewish, then Church of England and finally Roman Catholic, or am I wrong on this. All the best, Agur.

1886

Hello Chris. If Mr Chipper's story (post #112) is correct, this would be the first time that we have evidence of Isenschmid's detentions predating his 1887 Colney Hatch detention.

Cheers.
