    Ill say this much, youve put all your eggs into one basket with the Watch and Diary and totally ignored this mystery .
    I'm pretty sure I've answered it, Fishy.

    Either Jack was a skilled urologist or else he wasn't. If he wasn't, he still presumably extracted that kidney, yes?

    Of the countless candidates who have no urological experience (of which James Maybrick is just one), I can only suggest that the killer felt his way to her kidney by chance. Now, if you want to argue (as you have implied above) that there was nothing random about his choice of the kidney ("when he could easily have taken any number of other organs") then I would have to suggest that most people do know roughly where the kidneys are and also most people who were motivated to find out could consult a medical book in the days before setting out that night to gain a better idea of what the obstacles might be and might therefore be reasonably expected to overcome them.

    As I've said before, this is not my area of expertise. Unusually, I swim with the majority here who seem to have accepted the general belief that Jack did not have any particular surgical skill. I don't know either way whether what Jack did in the dark and at speed in Mitre Square is something that is literally impossible without extensive urological surgical knowledge, but pretty much everyone else who has commented and does comment on this subject appear to have no problem with it.

      I'll try this a different way (still not my area of expertise, note).

      Where is the difficulty, after pulling the entrails out of a person's abdomen and the abdominal cavity is empty, to go into the abdominal cavity with your hand, sever the barrier you spoke of, pull out the kidney (or indeed kidneys) and cut the artery? The doctors were not at all in agreement about the killer's medical skills, and I think that was right. After all it’s not open heart surgery!

        • Still no idea whose hand held the pen, RJ?

          You seem to have all the answers except the most important one of all. If the diary really was handwritten over the first few days of April 1992, who or where was your hoaxer with inky fingers?

          Is this why Ike's thread still exists? Is this why all the blame gets projected onto the Barrett sceptics? Because the Barrett believers don't really have the flimsiest clue who their hoaxer was?

          What I struggle with is why you and others are sooooooo resistant to the possibility of the diary being created by someone who began with an interest in both cases, but always intended to remain anonymous. Why would that person not think the best possible provenance for it would be Battlecrease House, where Maybrick lived from February 1888 to May 1889, which is the same period covered by the diary?

          So on Monday 9th March 1992, it is found there and shown to the impetuous chancer who was Mike Barrett. He gets on to a London literary agency saying he has Jack the Ripper's diary. He doesn't have the flimsiest clue who wrote it, or how old the writing is, but he is going to get the help he needs to find out. This could be huge. Or not. How will Mike know unless he takes a punt?

          I am curious to know how long the diary might have been in the house before it was found. Three months? Three years? Three decades? Possibly longer?

          My curiosity is based on the fact that I don't accept for a single second that either Anne or Mike created 'Sir Jim', so someone else must have done.

            Coroner] Would you consider that the person who inflicted the wounds possessed anatomical skill? - Dr Brown, ''He must have had a ''good deal'' of knowledge as to the position of the abdominal organs, and the ''way to remove them''.

            Where is the difficulty ? Right there if your a Cotton Merchant or a Painter like me .


            Dont forget it was Dr Brown who did the post mortem not Dr Sequeira.

            • Hi FISHY,

              You say you're a painter?

              Could you knock me up a Picasso over the weekend, so everyone can bitch for the next thirty years over how I made millions while you avoided exposing yourself?

              Thanks ever so.

              Love,

              Mrs FISHY to be

                I am drawn to the thoughts of Wilson & Odell (1987, p128), by chance one of the two books Mike Barrett had seen on the shelf of his local WH Smith and had thus recommended to Doreen Montgomery when he first introduced her to the Victorian scrapbook he had 'borrowed' (permanently) from Eddie Lyons:

                Dr Brown said the act of mutilation would have taken at least five minutes, but then he was an advocate of a skilled murderer. Of course, if the removal of the kidney was not a deliberate act but simply a chance occurrence, the theories become idle speculation. But if the murderer had the intention to secure the organ there can be little doubt that he had sufficient knowledge of human anatomy to find it and remove it with great speed.

                Now, Fishy, which is it to be: Jack found Eddowes' kidney out of 'simply a chance occurrence' as he rummaged around in her stomach which he had emptied of her intestines, or that he intended all along to locate the kidney and thereby severed it with great anatomical skill and knowledge?

                If it is the former, he needed no skill whatsoever. If it was the latter, he needed significant skill (the skill, indeed, of a qualified urologist).

                If you plump for the latter (as you presumably must), the obvious question is how on earth do you know what Jack was intending during those terrifying few minutes in Mitre Square?

                    • I rather thought that might be the case, FISHY.

                      Mike Barrett was sorry he was not the right kind of writer either.

                      What a disappointment for a Barrett Hoax conspiracy theorist.

                      If you were to try your hand at that Picasso, take a tip from the expert and add sugar to your paint. Egg wash won't wash.

                          You'll have to wait, Fishy. I'm watching the Frankfurt-Rangers Europe League Final, then I'm off to bed, then I'm off to Scotland tomorrow without my laptop for a week.

                          PS I didn't make it up, mind!

                            I see Rangers lost on penalties, tough when that happens ,never a good way to lose .



                            Im sure you didnt make it up , i just wanted to see the reference in the book, as i cant find it myself .

                            Not that it will make a difference, i already have and answer . lol.

                              Two rules of penalties:

                              1) If you're going to gamble and go down the middle, make sure it's high enough to miss the goalkeeper's trailing feet (Rangers made two mistakes out of five like this and got away with the first error but not the second);
                              2) Before you take your first penalty check the nationality of the team you're up against. If they are German, just give them the ******* cup and let us all get to bed a bit earlier.
