Hi Richard,
Oh dear!
If true, it would explain a great deal.
Indeed. I suspected as much - on both counts.
But the real Hutchinson didn't just "know a victim". According to him, he was the last person to see the most brutally murdered victim alive and in the company of a suspect which, if accurate (snort!) reveals the killer as very much the physically sinister pantomime villian that everyone in their ignorance assumed he must have been. He was the temporary star witness. He was the individual who witnessed the destruction exacted upon the corpse of Mary Kelly. If he simply told his son that he "knew one of the victims", that's troubling, in light of the forgoing.
Best regards,
Ben
what i have heard from a private source, is Fairclough promised a wedge of money to Reg , if the book did well
If true, it would explain a great deal.
we should also remember that costermonger Reg, liked the limelight of being refered to in a book., but was completely ignorant about the whitechapel murders
to Topping he just mentioned he knew a victim, when the subject crept up
Best regards,
Ben
