Hi Ben,
I finally caught up with this thread and just noticed this:
That's very gracious of you and of course I accept your apology and yes, I think it's safe to say that it's a long way behind us now.
Just a quickie here: keeping a suspect under surveillance was obviously not their only option, regardless of who that suspect was. Just because they chose not to stick certain men in front of the assorted witnesses they had managed to acquire over the months, doesn't mean they would not have attempted to get Lewis, Lawende et al to identify Hutch if they had considered him a suspicious enough character to warrant putting him under any kind of surveillance.
They hadn't given up hope by mid-November of ever identifying the ripper, short of catching him in the act 'over the ensuing months', or they wouldn't have bothered appealing for information from the person or persons closest to him.
Love,
Caz
