Originally posted by Sam Flynn View PostI have spent years learning about social conditions in Late Victorian London, at least five of which have been taken up in avid study of the Ripper case. Five years might not sound like much, but it's certainly more than 26 minutes.

That most of the victims had even a vague connection with Dorset Street at one time or another is, in itself, by no means a fact. There were some 900 people crammed into that street, so it doesn't even follow that they'd have known each other if they'd lived there at the same time - which they emphatically did not.Last edited by Sam Flynn; 04-03-2009, 05:43 PM.Kind regards, Sam Flynn

I cant say for sure that this is evidence of knowledge of one Canonical by another, or just a very odd coincidence, but the fact that the last two women who died called themselves Mary Kelly on the night they died is suggestive.
Kate had pawned Johns boots as Jane Kelly of 6 Dorset Street, then gave Hutt the name of Mary Kelly of Flower and Dean or Fashion St...I dont recall which....when being released from Bishopsgate. All three of Marys names were used in some form between the 2 "aliases"....and the name of the street she lived on with the digit "6".
Perhaps John knew Barnett, or they knew Mary, or maybe its just as I said, very odd but benign.

Originally posted by Sam Flynn View PostIf her "spouse" had pawned the boots under the name of "John Smith", and was later taken in for drunkenness and discharged under the name of "Tom Smith, 6 Thrawl Street" would we read anything "odd" into that?
Yes, she may have just thought them up...she may have just used Johns surname and just added all three of Marys names and her street in the 2 versions coincidentally.
If the circumstances were that we knew what Kate had been up to her last 24 hours, that we knew why she turned left out of Bishopsgate when to find her "husband" was a right turn, that we knew she had used those same names and streets before, or that the next woman murdered after her by Jack the Ripper wasnt called Mary Jane Kelly of 13 Millers Court, 26 Dorset Street.....Id be inclined to pay it less attention as well.
Best regards Gareth.
editted to add: Its interesting when you consider the name she gave when she was being booked, "nothing"...maybe she behaved like a clean slate and used names as she felt she needed....just a damn interesting coincidence when coupled with Ms C5.Last edited by Guest; 04-03-2009, 06:47 PM.

Originally posted by Sam Flynn View PostI looked at the facts and derived an eminently reasonable conclusion from them - it is not my "opinion" at all. I very much doubt that Paul Begg's opinion (which I value highly) is that the victims knew one another, still less that they were embroiled in any conspiracy.
That most of the victims had even a vague connection with Dorset Street at one time or another is, in itself, by no means a fact. There were some 900 people crammed into that street, so it doesn't even follow that they'd have known each other if they'd lived there at the same time - which they emphatically did not.
May I suggest any more questions aimed at me be done after a review of my postings,particularly very recent ones on this topic.Might take more than 26 minutes.
