I take it that you are referring to the alleged suspect whom Cox claimed to have followed.
I would be interested to see your answers to the following questions:
(1) Cox's suspect was a shopkeeper, not an unemployed hairdresser.
Where is the evidence that Aaron Kosminski ever owned a shop?
(2) Cox's suspect had spent time in an asylum in Surrey.
Where is the evidence that Aaron Kosminski was ever in an asylum in Surrey?
(3) Kosminski was permanently incarcerated in an asylum.
Where is the evidence that the same happened to Cox's suspect?
(4) Cox's suspect had black curly hair, which does not match the description of either Lawende's or Schwartz's suspect.
So, how could Lawende or Schwartz have identified him?
(5) Since Cox's suspect was of Jewish appearance, how could he have been Anderson's, who according to Anderson himself was not of Jewish appearance?
(6) The surveillance which Cox claimed to have conducted commenced in or shortly after February 1891 and continued for months.
How could Kosminski have been tailed for several months in 1891, when he was incarcerated in early February, 1891?
(7) Since Cox implies that the last murder was that of Frances Coles, is it not relevant that Kosminski has an unimpeachable alibi for that murder?
