A New Theory as to the Killer's Identity

[SirJohnFalstaff]

I thought perhaps we would learn something from you, David.

But you are only asking questions and you want me to answer. Just as you have done in all the other threads.

I have shared what little knowledge I can share with you. But obviously you are just fooling around and wasting my time.

A Alanis Morissette song comes to mind.

You have shared precisely no knowledge Pierre.

There's no good reason why you can't reproduce the letter which you say contains a prediction of MJK's murder. There's no good reason you can't tell us the name of your candidate. And there's no good reason why you can't reveal what your purported 'sources' are.

The unfortunate fact is that you are highly likely to be wrong in your interpretation of all your 'sources' and all your 'data'.

So you are wasting the time of everyone who is reading your posts.

And here we see a new expression from you David: "unfortunate fact". Before this it was "doomed".

I am also "highly likely" to be wrong. (Not only likely.)

And that goes for "all" my sources and "all" my data.

That is some strong opinion you have there David, especially considering the fact that you donīt know any of my reasons for not giving you what you want or any of my theoretical sources.

I am trying to teach you something Pierre.

What sociological experiment?

We are on the trail of the Ripper here.

The World editorial is only part of it.

You still haven't worked out his name.

I should say that I can't positively link my candidate with the World editorial but only the killer himself could have known that an unfortunate would be murdered the very next time 9 November came around so that my candidate must have been responsible for it somehow. It's not an important part of my theory though.

[David Orsam]

And what is the point of the sociological experiment?

Well that wasn't hard, all you had to do was google Martinus Scriblerus. What was the question again?

This is getting a little too Masonic for me!

For those not quite as smart as Pierre (who, for some reason, originally replied to the wrong post) he has seen that World editorial entitled 'THE NINTH OF NOVEMBER' refers to 'the philosophic genius of Martinus Scriblerus'. And Martinus Scriblerus was a pseudonym used by Alexander Pope.

That Pierre was able to work this out in minutes demonstrates that the metaphorical message being sent out by the World was easily deciphered and can only mean one thing. As Pierre would surely tell you, Alexander Pope was the author of a poem called 'Elegy to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady'.

That poem contains the lines:

See on these ruby lips the trembling breath,
These cheeks now fading at the blast of death:

AND

On all the line a sudden vengeance waits
And frequent hearses shall besiege your gates

AND

Then from his closing eyes thy form shall part,
And the last pang shall tear thee from his heart,
Life's idle business at one gasp be o'er,
The Muse forgot, and thou belov'd no more!


'Unfortunate' was, of course, a way of describing a prostitute. The meaning of the World's editorial from 9 November 1887 is therefore perfectly clear: In exactly one year's time, on 9 November 1888, a prostitute will die!

Unfortunate is a play on words, meaning both a prostitute and unfortunate lady (unfortunate because she will be unfortunately murdered).

Amazing that the police didn't work it out at the time.

Wow! Yes, you've done it!!!

Done what?

[David Orsam]

Popeīs.

[Pierre]

Ah Pierre you are on the right lines - so close in fact. I knew you would be able to read the metaphorical language in the World.

Whose pseudonym was it?

Popeīs.

A satirical group of so called intellectuals.
