Armed Tumblety also packed ...a flute

Okay Mike,
Will watch out for the podcast.
Now if anyone wants to buy a copy of my latest book (The Peculiar Sex Life of Adolf Hitler) which has absolutely nothing to do with Jack the Ripper whatsover, they can do so here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B9XNJPO
You can read the first chapter free!

Thanks

Greetings, Siobhan!

May congratulations on your book which sounds fascinating!

Actually, you are wrong about Hitler having nothing to do with Jack the Ripper. After all, if you believe "From Hell," Jack the Ripper gave birth to the Twentieth Century.

Best regards

Chris

Maybe he was smuggling his flute, come to think on it.

What did Tumblety need a revolver for? That bloody moustache is a lethal weapon!

I'd love one like it.

Was he using the flute to bore his victims to death?

[GUT]

This is one I really want to hear.

Hi Mike,
Very exciting that Tumblety had a gun!
I just wanted to wish you well (or break a leg) for your talk in April.
Just sorry I won't be there.

Hi Siobhan,

Thanks! After the conference, Jonathan will have a podcast and we plan on posting some of the finds on the forums, getting them into Rip and Whitechapel Society, plus a few other places.

Sincerely,

Mike

Hi all,

We see Francis Tumblety carried a revolver, but more threatening, he carried a flute! Just before Tumblety left Washington DC for Philadelphia, he was robbed. On the night of March 30, 1863, Tumblety and his ‘colored servant’ Rezin Alexander were robbed by two men. According to the Evening Star, April 1, 1863, the two men stole a ten and a five dollar Treasury note and fifty cents postal currency from Alexander and a flute and a revolver from Tumblety. Both men were immediately apprehended and jailed.

Sincerely,

Mike

Great stuff, Mike! Looking forward to your talk on the intrepid Dr. Tumblety at RipperCon in Baltimore, April 8-10!

Cheers

Chris

Did Doc. T. claim it was a "Magic Flute"? Are the Masons involved here?
