Did Jack only kill 3?

What's up with all these French names (Pasquier/Dubois/Durrant/Demay/Le Grand)? Any hints if Pasquier and her pimp were real French, like Demay? And it looks like Le Grand won the pimp war against Dubois/Durrant at the Magistrates.

Lol. Or Deeming.

It was one of the French quarters of London, perhaps?

Hi Trevor,

You said Mike Richards knows firsthand what it's like to suffer wrath when he challenges those who are defending suspects. What researcher/suspect are you referring to, because I don't recall once seeing Mike offer any sort of evidence against any suspect, ever, that would relieve any suspicion. I also can't recall him suffering any wrath for his efforts.

I only mention this because you seem to be quite mistaken in thinking you and Mike are of like minds and situations.

Yours truly,

Tom Wescott

Or Druitt.

Lol. Or Deeming.

PS.:

As for carrying a knife, so was Kosminski

Hell, I'm carrying a knife. But wanna be a kept woman, like Pasquier. :-)

Well at least he did murder someone in ripper like fashion and was known to carry a long bladed knife, which are two very important components which go to make a prime suspect profile.

Was he named by two leading contemporary Police Officials involved in the case and known to be in the area at the time?

As for carrying a knife, so was Kosminski...as the attack on his sister indicates.

Ripper-like? I thought there was no Ripper, Trevor?
Plus, cut throat murders without mutilation were commonplace...weren't they?

[Trevor Marriott]

The suspect list should be torn up, but no we are constantly subjected to the likes of Aaron Kosminski and others being publicly flogged to death as being prime suspects.....

Not to mention that he was a soldier and would no how to cut a persons throat with a knife.

She was originally a kept woman ( a man named Dubois or Durrant I believe)

Or Druitt.

I hear that she was a madam, not a simple prostitute. Any chance that the other man who attacked her was already related to Le Grand and Demay?

She was originally a kept woman ( a man named Dubois or Durrant I believe) then became a prostitute on Regent St, Portland Place etc. as far as I recall.

[mariab]

Maria, regarding Pasquier, yes, she brought a charge at the magistrates court claiming she said she had been assaulted by a man paid to do the job, again in a kind of 'turf war.'.

I remember your posting on Siscovitch alias Grand in the Le Grand thread and on JTRForums. The fact that his own murder victim used the con-name Chapman further complicates the references! (If someone were looking for a Grand link to Annie Chapman, lol.)

[Debra A]

Thanks Maria and Lynn for the translation. That makes sense coming directly after the reporter/correspondent mentioning Le Grand also once ran a gambling hell. Maria, regarding Pasquier, yes, she brought a charge at the magistrates court claiming she said she had been assaulted by a man paid to do the job, again in a kind of 'turf war.'.

It is possible that Le Grand may have been trading on some kind of underground rumour that he was really the criminal Ivan Siscovitch alias Wallace alias Grandy. The 1891 newspapers would print this rumour at the time of his blackmail trial as has been discussed many times. As Wallace, Siscovitch had been a part of the 1870s London murder of a Mrs Chapman (an alias and criminal past herself if I remember rightly) in her own home and had escaped abroad shortly after the murder.

I best shut up now as this is way off topic.

thanks

Hello Maria. Thanks. Sure, any time.

Cheers.

Lynn, apparently Le Grand boasted to people about “having killed in the past“ with no direct reference. No evidence yet links him to a murder, unless you consider Sept. 30, 1888. ;-)
If it's OK, I need to email you with some things (also Le Grand-related) by the end of this week, I'm a tiny bit sick and catching up on sleep big time.
I guess the meaning of the Latin quote is clear: “Le Grand had his fingers everywhere.“, which fits with the evidence. And by the by, this is ANOTHER double negative, like the GSG! ;-)

fere land

Hello Maria. Thanks. Looks good.

Of course, "se ferre" can mean to hasten oneself. But I think "fere" is correct.

Cheers.

How many Romans?

Hello Debs. "Non tetigi" is quite easy. It means "[I] did not touch." Perfect tense. "Nihil" is, of course, "nothing." Is "fere" the word or is it "fieri"?

It looks like "There was nothing I did not touch."

Connotation seems to be "I had a finger in many pies."

Hope that helps.

Cheers.
