black Face White eyes

[RockySullivan]

In Melvin Harris true face book there is a story about a man called black face white eyes who was a doctor/surgeon amateur detective. A woman saw him near the spot where Tabram was killed and raised a cry of murder according to the book. Does anyone know more about this?

I also hadn't realized Wolf Levinsohn was the same man who was named as JTR by a prostitute when I read about his testimony at the chapman trial. Quite strange considering his testimony was likely false.

another thing about McKenzie...a bartender said a patron had commented it was about time for the ripper to strike again right before mckenzies murder and Sadlers wife said he wanted to go visit the ripper site when she lost saw him didn't she?

Now I know harris book is hardly reliable but I wonder if there is any truth to these stories?

I have read that there was a newspaper account of an amateur detective who got himself up in a strange costume, with blackened face and hands, and wore goggles over his eyes (which left "white rings" around them, once removed), apparently in an attempt to spy out The Ripper. But the outfit frightened a woman who screamed, and soon a mob of men pursued him, causing him to seek refuge with the police.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about the other things you inquired about, Rocky.

I'll bet there were a lot of people who made comments like "It's about time for the Ripper to strike again." Most of the time nothing happened, but a few of them would have happened to say them just before the Ripper did strike.

PC Dunn

I was only reading the other day about a PC Robinson who dressed up as a woman to go and investigate a reported chap who had run into a yard. He was beaten up by a group of men that supposedly worked there. I wonder if this could have anything to do with what you mentioned?
If you wish to know more let me know and I will look up the news article...

Thank you! That article says his spectacles were white painted circles around his eyes. Seems like a strange thing to do
