.....to say nothing of the noose! Capital punishment by hanging by the neck until dead being one of Matthews hobby horses-he was a very unbending about this "deterrant" when Home Secretary . I cant picture Jack the Ripper nipping into the Commercial Street Police Station and announcing he was at the scene of the crime at 3 am when Mary was being murdered.
Not Jack the Ripper,a murderer careful enough never to leave a clue,never known to have allowed a sound to slip from his victims mouth"s when he murdered them.Who took great care not to be seen.Thats why I dont believe the Astrakhan man was the Ripper.He may have been a client of the murdered Kelly that night but I doubt he was the ripper.
