The BIG Poll

[Herlock Sholmes]

Ok I’ll apologise first… I’m sorry for yet another poll but I’ve been considering this one for ages and was put off doing it. It’s a suspect poll but I wanted to do it differently and make it The BIG one.


I’m going to allow everyone up to 7 suspects. You can post as few as you want to but no more than 7. Just post them in order of preference (which I realise can be difficult if some are close) so

1. Mr X
2. Mr Y
3. Mr Z
4. Etc
5. Etc
6. Etc
7. Etc

I’ll award points.

1. 7 points
2. 6 points
3. 5 points
4. 4 points
5. 3 points
6. 2 points
7. 1 point

I’m not counting ‘as yet unnamed man’ as I’m only looking for ratings of the named suspects.

I’ll count up the votes on November 30th

Btw…this isn’t intended as a thread for debating suspects merit.

ps. I’m not going to make changes to but if someone later wants to add a suspect to the bottom of their previous list (maybe if they forget to mention them) I’ll add them.

[Herlock Sholmes]

I’ll start.

1. Cutbush
2. Druitt
3. Bury
4. Kelly
5. Kosminski/Cohen etc (basically Anderson’s suspect)

5. Kosminski/Cohen etc (basically Anderson’s suspect)

Excellent poll Herlock

It will take me a bit of time, as I have over 20!

At a push I could manage a top 10


So 7 will be a tough one.


Okay...

1) Kosminski - NOT AARON!
2) Albert Bachert
3) Henry Hanslope
4) Thomas Wainwright
5) Marks Silverman
6) Dr Septimus Swyer

13) Levy
14) Kelly
15) Le Grand

Just for jolly

What could get to be tricky here is how to treat the various possibilities for Anderson's suspect. Is Herlock's #5 essentially the same thing as RD's #1? I think Cohen and Aaron Kosminski are each worthy of consideration as separate entries, but I like the idea of combining them, because it's hard for me to narrow it down to 7 names, and combining Cohen with Aaron in effect allows me to include an extra name.

Because of the various suggestions/theories ‘Anderson’s Suspect’ it has to be Lewis.

Ah...but the issue is, that I don't think Anderson's suspect was Aaron OR Cohen!

That might sound odd, but I have identified another man whom I have been researching on and off for a few months at least now (as per my thread on Forums)

Certain health issues had caused me to temporarily put a pause on everything, but I have recently endeavoured to get back into it.

So my "Kosminski" wasn't Aaron OR Cohen.


Sorry to be awkward

Just to reiterate; my number 1 - Kosminski, refers to Anderson's suspect, but NOT AARON OR COHEN.

I don't believe Cohen or Aaron were Anderson's suspect.

Excellent list there Lewis.

It almost feels as though we need to ask Herlock if he could push it to a maximum of a top 10, rather than just 7.
