    Kosminski vs Charles Cross

    If it was down to just these two options who would be the best bet for the Ripper. More importantly WHY?

    (Can be Aaron or Anderson's suspect if you prefer.)

    Anderson's suspect is definitely a better suspect than Aaron Kosminski, because Anderson's suspect includes the possibility of Aaron being the Ripper, and also includes additional possibilities. But even Aaron is a better suspect than Cross. Just the reasonable possibility of Aaron being Anderson's suspect is enough to make him a better suspect than Cross. I don't find anything about Cross' discovery of Nichols' body to be at all suspicious, or anything that he did afterward. Cross did walk through the area where the murders occurred on the way to and from work, but Aaron lived in that area.

      If Aaron Kosminski were a one-legged, blind dwarf living in Manchester at the time of the murders he would still be a better suspect than Cross.

        Anderson himself is probably a better suspect than Cross!

          Anderson was originally named as part of the Royal Conspiracy in the 1970s, but was replaced by Walter Sickert when it was found that Anderson wasn't in England for some of the murders. It would later be shown that Sickert also wasn't in England for some of the murders.

            But apart from being named by Anderson is there anything else to point to (a) Kosminski?
