There was no intention to deceive - I assumed that as both threads on both boards were almost identical and me and Jimi are mentioned on both that people would realize I am the same person on both boards. The only real difference is I used my initials on casebook and my real name - Tracy I'anson on Jtr forums
Tracy, I sent you a pm on Jtrforums earlier on. I hadn't realised when I gave Maria the details that you had recently posted about the sexual assault to your thread over there.[/QUOTE]
I have got your pm Debs, well done and thanks for the info, that has bugged me and Jimi for a long time!!! I will post the info on the Jacob Ley threads, if that is ok with yourself.
Also the information posted on the same thread about Jacob Levy having been acquitted for sexual assault at age 16 is apparently not correct, as Debra just looked it up and she says that the assault occurred in 1873 by a 43 year old soldier with just one arm and one leg.(!)
Interesting do you know if Debra will be posting the info on the boards at all.
Get well soon

Tracy, I sent you a pm on Jtrforums earlier on. I hadn't realised when I gave Maria the details that you had recently posted about the sexual assault to your thread over there.
So it's you indeed, Tracey, drop the mask!
Here's a transcript from Lloyd's Weekly, Feb 15 1874 (curtesy of Debra Aliff): SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST AN OLD SOLDIER
Jacob Levy, 43, described as a cigar maker, was charged with indecenly assaulting a girl under the age of 12 years-the prisoner, in his defence, said he had won the Victoria Cross at Delhi and while in the army had gone through the Afghanistan, Burmese, and Crimean campaigns, and had been engaged at Delhi and Lucknow. He had lost a leg and a hand and was on board the Blue Jacket when that vessel caught fire. He entirely denied the charge and it appeared that the girl had not given details of any complaint until 36 hours after the alleged assault.-The jury found the prisoner "Not guilty"and he was discharged.
Thanks for the get well wishes. There's blood coming out of my nose (among else!) right now, so maybe I've caught the Ebola virus?
Yes, Tracey is quite spectacular, and a great researcher.
Why thank you maria - I will take what I can get even if I almost had to twist your arm lol
It's NOT correct? Very interesting
No Maria, that was me getting confused, there was a tenuous link a few year back that I believe was disproven, if memory serves me right Joseph Levy sponsored a family called Kominski, who then changed their name to Koski but it was a separate family to the Kozminski's.
Also the information posted on the same thread about Jacob Levy having been acquitted for sexual assault at age 16 is apparently not correct, as Debra just looked it up and she says that the assault occurred in 1873 by a 43 year old soldier with just one arm and one leg.(!)

I can't look it up right now, as I'm a bit ill in bed (taking antibiotics), and need to eat something very urgently...
(And SO sorry again to misdirect this thread out of subject.)
The link between the Levys and the Kozminskis is discussed in the beginning of the thread. You just have to start from the beginning (on page 1) and you won't miss it.
I do see the suggestion that Aaron Kozminski's brother lived at 2 Hutchinson Street, but unfortunately I don't think that's correct. But thanks for pointing it out, anyway.

Chris,
The link between the Levys and the Kozminskis is discussed in the beginning of the thread. You just have to start from the beginning (on page 1) and you won't miss it. It's right before I started joking about the late David Radka's theory, and everybody who knew him butted in about him. Just one post behind the first mention of David Radka – you can't miss it!

Thanks, but it was the link between the Levys and the Kozminskis that I was interested in. I've just had a look through that thread and can't see it. Maybe I'm missing something?
Chris,

By the way, thank you SO very much, www.oldbaileyonline.org works! www.theoldbailey.com is something else altogether. Now I have to PM Debra about this, as she was scratching her head to blood about why I couldn't access the site...
